Hottest theme party ideas for baby showers

It is usually a big plus to plan a theme party when putting up baby showers. Then the whole event will have a tone and mood that won't be there without the theme party idea. Moreover, having one gives baby showers a focus. That means a lot of things fall into place - your decorations, invitation styles, food, games and sometimes even the venue.

We've presented several ideas below. Go through them, and try to come up with something original. Maybe you can combine or enlarge upon some of the interesting theme party ideas here and have truly unique baby showers.

A less obvious benefit of having a theme party (as opposed to a normal event) is that you can sometimes receive a wider spread of presents as a direct result. That's always useful at baby showers.

You'll see an example of this benefit if you hold an 'A to Z' theme party. Here's how to hold one. Send invitations out assigning a letter of the alphabet to each guest. She comes to the baby shower with a gift that begins with the letter assigned to her. The decorations follow the 'A to Z' idea, and you can have games that tie in as well.

Little ones love stories. And you can build a great party around one. For baby showers, select a story that's mom-to-be's favorite - like Goldilocks and the three bears, or any other.

If twins are on the way, 'Noah's Ark' is the natural choice for a theme party. Mom-to-be seems to be imitating Noah's penchant for bringing two of everything along! At baby showers, use two cakes as centerpieces, do decorations with a 'twin' angle, guests can bring two gifts each, etc.

Like stories, nursery rhymes are excellent choices for themes. Successful baby showers have had ones like Humpty Dumpty, Jack n Jill, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and many others.

Or maybe you might choose to have a 'Baby's First' theme for the baby shower. Pinpoint important events in the little one's life - like when she takes her first solid food, her first steps, etc. Assign one each to all the guests. The guests now bring along a gift that'll suit the occasion allotted to them.

A variation is to have a 'Time of the day' theme party. While sending invitations, allot a time of the day to every guest. At the baby shower, she then has to get along a gift that baby (or mom!) can use at that time.

It's a cute idea to use an infant related object as a focus for the theme party. The objects can be soft toys, diapers, bottles, and so on. Do baby showers decorations in line with this and associated objects.
