You’re throwing a baby shower! To help you set a format for your baby shower it is often easier to first decide on a theme. Themes serve as inspiration for decorations and games, invitations, favors and even the food.
Themes can be as simple as a color scheme like blue and white if you know the parents-to-be are having a boy, or pink and white for a girl.
A theme also makes shopping for supplies a breeze! For example, if you are using a Rubber Duckies theme, you’ll pick the invitations with ducks, duck decorations, a baby bath centerpiece filled with water and floating rubber ducks, small rubber duck favors, and yellow foods. Fun right?
Need more ideas for a baby shower theme? Nursery rhymes naturally lend themselves to baby shower themes. Truly, who doesn’t have a favorite nursery rhyme that baby can enjoy? Pick up a book and revisit those nursery rhymes, find one you like and use it as an inspiration for your invitations, decorations, games and even appetizers! For example, do you remember “Hey diddle diddle?”
Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon!
Incorporate this charming rhyme into your theme by sending out invitations with a cow jumping over the moon. There is also a Nursery Rhyme printable invitation at Baby Shower Games A to Z.com.
Include the nursery rhyme on the interior of the card to trigger many a happy memory for your invited guests. Continue the theme by serving a cake decorated with a fiddlin’ cat; create a fun mobile out of paper plates (the dish) and plastic spoons, and of course, what is a baby shower without games? You can print out great game cards for any theme, including the popular “Nursery Rhyme Quiz.” We’ve all heard the classic nursery rhymes, but how many were listening? Have your guests take this quiz and find out! Do they really remember what happened to Humpty Dumpty? What about Jack Sprat? Another favorite is “Name that Nursery Rhyme.” Can you remember the name of a nursery rhyme if you were given the plot? Have guests compete on time, pit one generation against another, read answers out loud. There will surely be some humorous errors.
Whatever theme you choose, it will help focus the organization and make your baby shower a memorable one for the mother-to-be and your guests.
