Choosing a theme for the baby shower you're planning can help tie everything together. It will set the tone for the party as well as help organize it. For example, it will make ordering invitations, deciding on decorations, and choosing which games to play that much easier. There are many ideas so I have listed a few popular ones. You always want to keep in mind what the mom-to-be will like.
Dress Up Theme
Coming to a baby shower dressed in a costume is a fun way to celebrate, especially around Halloween. Guests could come as anything that fits into the baby shower theme: a baby object, favorite cartoon character, favorite nursery rhyme character, etc. You could also have more specific dress themes: Favorite Children's Book/Movie Theme, Sports Theme, Barbie or Doll Theme/Pink Theme, Baby Object Theme, Alice in Wonderland, or Willie Wonka Theme. You want to be sure to send out invites in plenty of time for everyone to get their costumes ready.
Book Theme
A great way for the mom-to-be to get started on her child's book collection is to have a Book Themed Shower. Each guest is asked to bring his/her favorite book from when he/she was a child.
Eco-Friendly Theme
If you or the parents-to-be are eco conscious throw a Green bash. Pick natural materials to decorate. For instance, use potted plants, flowers and natural materials like glass, water, rock, bamboo, and candles. Be sure to print your invitations on recycled card-stock, or use some made out of natural fibers such as linen, bamboo, and cotton. Ask guests to bring natural or organic gifts such as BPA-free teethers, pacifiers, and organic toys.
Diaper Theme
One of if not the most practical of baby shower themes is a diaper one. All parents know how quickly mom-to-be will go through diapers, so wouldn't it be great to get a whole load of them as presents? Diapers can also be used as decorations by making diaper cakes. A diaper cake is a tiered, showpiece "cake" made out of rolled diapers.
Once you've chosen your theme, sent out the invites, and decorated your venue it's time to party with the ever grateful mom-to-be!
