Monkey themed shower

christana08

Our nursery is a monkey theme and I looking at shower ideas for my May shower and was wondering if you guys had any cute ideas for decorations/food/etc.

**I'm bored and was just going to pass the ideas on to my SIL whose throwing the shower**

I know Oriental Trading Co has a ton of monkey stuff; you might check there.

I'm having a monkey theme shower as well. I don't know too much about it. But they have cute monkey invites. They were bought online just do a search, and they have matching decorations. The cake is going to have pink monkeys

I just went to one that wasn't really monkey themed per se but the mom to be did register for a bunch of monkey/african animals stuff so the did some minimal decorating in that arena. Something that turned out cute was that they cut out big leaves from green paper & then got that brown paper (not sure how to describe it, it is on rolls, kind of like grocery bag paper) and rolled it into vines, then put them around some of the doorways with the big leaves. It sounds sort of cheesy but it looked pretty cute!!!

You might want to look through the Curious George books for ideas -- in fact, anything Curious George would be cute (yellow hat invitations, for example).

Sock monkey stuff is always cute, too. ?I know www.lindaanderson.com has sock monkey slippers for infants (and for mommies, too, for that matter) for not too much $$. ?

Of course, there's also the flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz, but that might be too dark and creepy for a baby shower (unless you went with this item: ?www.slingshotflyingmonkey.com).

Please let us know how the shower turns out -- sounds fun!?
