A Baby Shower Theme
Can be Maddening
With all of the choices,
picking the best baby shower theme can be quite the chore.
You want to pick something beautiful and magical, without being too cute-sy for the mom to be. But don't worry; there are plenty of baby shower theme ideas out there.
You'll want to start by thinking of things that younger children like. This can include everything from dolls to animals to trucks and fairy tales. If you know the gender of the baby, that can help tremendously, as can knowing how many babies might be born. Twins and triplets can make for wonderful themes.
Using favorite children's stories is always fun for a baby shower theme. Choosing something like a Winnie the Pooh baby shower is a great way to bring a little nostalgia to the baby shower party as well as plenty of ideas for baby shower decorations. Think about the honey pot that Pooh always had or his friend Piglet.
This baby shower theme can spark a Winnie the Pooh baby shower cake or napkins and plates. You might also want to have Pooh streamers and balloons or give out little Pooh bear favors.
Another fun theme is to incorporate the fairy tales into a baby shower theme. Use all of the fairy tale characters that you grew up with: Mother Goose, for example. Then take each of the characters and either decorate with their images or create invitations that show off the story behind them. There are some great ideas for this in "The Baby Shower Kit" by Michael Rasmussen and Jillian Blume.
A baby shower theme should reflect the fun and the joy of being a mother, as well as the joys of childhood. You want to think about a magical character or a scene from a story and then create that story's setting in the place of the baby shower.
Your baby shower theme allows you to have a great starting point for all of the plans that follow, but it also allows the mom to be to step into another world for a time—a world where her child can be a child.
