Select an exciting party theme for your baby showers

The party theme you choose certainly makes a huge difference at baby showers! They impart a mood and tone that's often not possible to achieve without a party theme. Plus, having one gives you the huge advantage of having a clear focus for your baby showers. Practically everything - from choosing invitations, games, decorations, food, etc - becomes easier.

Use the inputs below to kick-start your own creativity - think up your own ideas. Nothing to beat original stuff! One simple but effective idea is to use an 'A to Z' party theme for baby showers. Here, you assign a letter of the alphabet to each guest while sending out invitations. She is then to bring along a gift starting with that letter. Great way to receive many different kinds of gifts!

If mommy's bringing twins along, then Noah's Ark might be a logical party theme. Noah brought two of everything along too! Have two centerpiece cakes at such baby showers, do decorations with a twins theme, guests could bring two gifts each, etc.

Stories for kids make great themes at baby showers. Pick mom-to-be's favorite one. (One mom-to-be I know has many favorite stories - all from the Arabian Nights!! A bit off the beaten track!)

Nursery rhymes too are excellent ideas for themes. The baby will soon be singing them anyway! Anything goes from Jack n' Jill, to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Humpty Dumpty, etc. Makes for lovely baby showers.

Or choose a baby object for your theme. Like soft toys, yellow ducks, bottles, diapers, etc. Or use collections like play time items, feeding time products, and so on. At the baby showers, do the decorations around these objects.

'Time of the day' is another party theme for baby showers. Allot a 'time of the day' to each guest, who now has to present a gift that baby can use at that time. You get lots of different stuff like this. She must have a clear reason for choosing the gift, and she has to explain it at the shower!

Identify several landmark events in baby's life. Like the first time she eats solid food, etc. Allot one each to all the guests. This is a 'baby's first' party theme. Again, the guest gets along a gift baby can use at that point in her life. Good one for baby showers.
