Baby shower theme ideas and party planning for memorable showers

With the right baby shower theme, your event can get transformed into a very special, almost magical experience! Having one certainly makes the party planning process much simpler - you now have a focal point around which to build. The right baby shower theme also means one that's just right for the mommy-to-be's tastes and character. After all, she is the central figure of the event, and all party planning is geared towards spoiling her and making her feel like a queen!

It is best to come up with your own original baby shower theme, hard as that may seem. Sit down with the mom-to-be, understand what she wants and create one. Use the ideas below as a starting point for your creativity. Add your own unique twist or touch to one of them, or combine them with your own party planning ideas and make up an original one!

We'll look at a few shower themes. A basic one is an 'A to Z' theme, where each guest is assigned a letter of the alphabet and asked to bring along a gift that starts with that letter. Can result in a diverse spread of gifts! Your party planning, decorations and so on can be easily built around this idea.

If she's having twins, Noah's Ark is a logical baby shower theme, for obvious reasons. Your party planning can reflect this two-of-everything approach - two cakes, duplicated decoration items, etc.

You can also have a particular object as a shower theme. For example, the party can be centered on diapers, or yellow ducks, teddy bears, booties, baby feet, etc.

A story can also make a good shower theme. You can choose anything from Goldilocks and the three bears all the way to something from the Arabian Nights!

Nursery rhymes can also make a good baby shower theme. Choose any popular one like Twinkle, twinkle little star, Humpty Dumpty or one of many others. They can also be used in party planning - in decorations, games, etc.

Another baby shower theme is 'Baby's First'. Pick out important events in the child's early life, like the first time she walks, eats solid food, etc. Ask each guest to bring along a gift relating to the event assigned to him or her.
