5 Original Baby Shower Themes

Bringing a baby into the world is a major milestone in every woman’s life. So it’s only right that she does everything to make her baby shower extra special. But finding an original baby shower theme can seem daunting at times. Here are 5 original baby shower themes that should help your baby shower stand out from the rest:

“Pretty in pink” baby shower theme;

This is a particularly good theme if you are expecting a baby girl, but you can switch to blue if it’s a boy. Ask guests to wear pink only, use pink invitations, pink candles, pink everything! You can also serve pink punch and serve cake with pink icing. This theme is very good if you are on a fixed budget, since there is no need for fancy decorations.

“Diaper” baby shower theme;

Nothing says motherhood like baby diapers. You can start with invitations that assign a certain diaper size to each guess and have them bring a package of diapers in that size. Decorate with multi-colored diapers stacked in the form of a pyramid and top it off with a diaper cake. The diaper cake will serve as a centerpiece and you can adorn the cake with small toys that you will use later in a memory game…

“Noah’s Ark” baby shower theme;

This theme is great for people who are expecting twins. Start with boat-shaped invitations and ask all the guests to bring 2 gifts and have two of everything possible at the shower. You can decorate with pairs of stuffed animals, have two small cakes instead of one and try to have two winners in each game you are going to play…

“Rubber ducky” baby shower theme;

The rubber ducky theme is a very popular baby shower theme. Rubber ducky decorations are easy to find and easy to set-up. You can make blue punch using blue raspberry juice and 7-up and float little rubber duckies on it. Make a center-piece using a pedestal bowl filled with California crystals that look like bubbles and float a rubber ducky in it. For favors, you can use small plastic bags filled with raffia “water” and duck shaped soap.

“Survivor” baby shower theme;

This is a great idea if you are planning an outdoor baby shower. Decorate with tiki torches and stuffed jungle animals. Give out safari hats to all the guests to accentuate the “jungle” feeling. Play a food challenge where participants have to guess what baby food they’re eating and give actual “survivor” prizes like rice, matches, water, etc…. Hand out “survivor bananas” as favors and wrap little gifts inside such as gummy bears or chocolate. The Survivor theme is great if you really want your baby shower to stand out.

I wish you good luck and I wish your baby shower will be remembered for years to come.
