What was your baby shower theme?

kelseyhh · January 2014

So, yesterday a friend of mine asked if I would host her baby shower (tacky? Yes. But I agreed). I am NOT a planner so I struggle with planning cute, fun showers. Did any of you ladies have a baby shower theme that you loved? Fun games that you played? She's having a boy if that matters.
Bonus points if you include a picture!

No real theme just blue for a boy. The favors were chocolate pretzels and a wild bird roosting nest ( since we were nesting)

I had a girl so my theme and pics wouldn't help you but I recently went to a cute boy shower. The theme was Rubber Duckie. They had rubber duckies in a lil metal tin taking baths as the center piece...unfort I don't have a pic of those but here is the cake.

Everything was yellow, blue and white and they also had a few of those really big duckie balloons. I loved it!

Edit - spelling

I had a girl jungle theme, monkeys, zebra, giraffes. It was really cute

Paddington Bear! I love all things British so it fit. My friend played a game where she played lullaby versions of popular songs and you had to guess which song it was.

My shower was jungle themed. They found all my stuff at party city and had cute matching games. They threw in some stuffed animals & cute cupcakes.

We also had jungle theme. They didn't go overboard with games. Someone measured my belly and then the girls were given the tape measure and told to guess what my measurement was on themselves. So basically I went around to all the tables to show them my belly they guessed with the tape. The closest won a prize. They also set a timer every 4 minutes or so, when it went off, whoever's gift I was opening won a prize.

Pinterest is your friend!

Jungle themed for my DH's family since they live a few hrs away. My sister's theme was just a basic shower,no real theme she went with.

Games played: cut a ribbon that u think will fit my belly, word scrabble and a crossword.

The theme was "Cute as a button"

We played "baby shower price is right" which was actually fun, I normally hate shower games. I think there was a word find as well.

Mine was alice in wonderland mad hatter tea party. We played the price game.

No surprise here but we had a sports theme. Since we no longer live in our home city we made it a Jack and Jill shower and invited all our friends. In terms of games my brothers came up with boards similar to the squares you buy for the Super Bowl. They had baby height and weight. My sister had cards and asked all the parents to write us a piece of advice they thought we should know. By the end the guys came up with their own game to see whose "food" baby could beat my belly. my BIL had a bigger belly than me. I wish I had a picture of my cake because it was the same flavor and from the same bakery out wedding cake was from and I thought that was really nice. Our favors were chocolates in a baby sock that looked like a little sneaker. The other picture is my diaper cake.

Peter rabbit. They had a beautiful cake made. I'll try to get a pic once I'm back from vacation!

Eta- I also requested that instead of a card, people bring a book to help build his library. We asked people to write a message to him and include a picture so he would "know" who gave him each book.

Mine was a woodland theme with birch trees, greenery, burlap and some touches of woodland animals throughout (Owls, deer).

The guests played gift bingo while I opened presents and they also wrote down their "wishes for baby" on cards my SIL had made.

RoxZ32 · January 2014

I had a neutral shower since I was team green. They played off Winnie the Pooh (the nursery is classic Winnie the Pooh) and ran with the 100 acre wood theme. It was woodsy with burlap and tree stumps and accented with bees as I was the "momma to bee". My cake was even a big bee hive. It was beautiful!

ETA everyone formed teams of 2 and they got playdoh and created a baby. I judged and picked the best baby. People seemed to enjoy it since they got to do it with friends/family. It was also funny to see what was created. Also I was just at a baby shower this past weekend and everyone got a homemade sensory bag. It was filled with 15 different objects and we had to find as many as possible. It was simple but surprisingly fun (and hard)!

Mine, too.

One fun game we played was a pregnancy "mad lib". The guests loved that they didn't have to leave their seats or write anything down themselves to participate. Plus, the end result was hysterical.

Mine was nautical -"ahoy it's a boy!". They printed cute decor from etsy and used red white and blue.

Blueyed228 · January 2014

Mine was elephants.

A really cute boy theme I have seen is airplanes. There is a lot of that on Pinterest.

JulieK79 · January 2014

Mine was Dr. Seuss. There were cute invitations that said, "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, New Fish" with the little fish in a stroller. I'm an elementary school teacher so it made sense and I loved it!

Schell2013 · January 2014

No theme for mine. There was a couple games, good appies, a cake and a few tactful decorations. It was small, quiet and a really nice time.

SpanFran · January 2014

Mine was a Beatles theme. I loved it.

kelseyhh · January 2014

Thanks everyone! So many great ideas. Now I have a place to start!

Shoegal36 · January 2014

Mine was "April showers bring May flowers" since my shower was in April and LO was due in May.

schawla27 · January 2014

I did a bowtie theme for my son, the colors were turquoise, yellow and white. Here is a pic of my dessert/cake table.

kmandrews · January 2014

I had an owl themed shower (LO nursery). And for a friend we threw a Disney themed shower. It was super easy and fun!

smg2302 · January 2014

We did the book instead of a card as well. And since it was literary themed, my sister picked Peter Pan as a running theme since that was my favorite book as a kid.
