Baby Shower Theme Ideas – Peas in the Pod Garden Party
Baby Shower Theme Ideas – Ooh! Your friend is having a baby! Whether it is her first baby or her fifth baby, it’s a good cause for celebration! Baby showers are such joyous occasions! Whether you are the guest of honor or the one planning and putting this even together, it is a real joy to celebrate the arrival of a new life. The amazing few months to come are a true gift for both mother and baby. The baby shower is just another way to bring all loved ones together and celebrate the new bundle of joy. For the new mom to be, preparing to have a baby is a time-consuming task. From frequent doctor visits to learning about labor and delivery and breathing right to deciding what color to paint the nursery, new parent-to-be can get worn out! Not is a great time for a party! Usually hosted by a best girlfriend or the grandma-to-be, the baby shower is a chance for everyone to wish the new Mommy well, and buy all those cute little baby things.
Many people choose to put a twist on the ole boring baby shower. The Peas in the Pod theme is very popular especially during the summer months. This garden baby shower theme idea is guaranteed to yield a crop of new compliments to you and your baby shower planning skills. This is also a great idea for an expectant mother-to-be of twins as Peas in the Pod lends itself to representing baby twins.
There are so many different ways to incorporate the Peas in the Pad baby shower theme. From the baby shower invitations, to the decorations, centerpieces, different activities your guests can play, the baby gifts you received, the baby shower favors, the food you serve your guests, and so on.
Anther great benefit to having this kind of party is the fact that you can easily turn this theme into a garden party theme. You can incorporate green and white mini-lanterns, green and white candles all over your yard to brighten up your decor. If you have house plants, bring them outside to add on to your green theme. Another great idea is to buy some fresh peas from your local supermarket or farmer’s market and either place them all over your place settings or use them in your other decorations.
However you choose to celebrate the arrival of the new bundle of joy, make sure you have a great time and let the new mom relax and appreciate all the love and attention from all her friends and family.

See if you can find or make something with a "sugar and spice" theme. That would be so cute and very traditional.

That is a shame since your web site sells at least 5 of the same ones shown in the video.

How about an "Ode to Baby". Everyone writes a poem or lymerick to read to the mom to be and the best one (either by vote or new mom) gets a prize. This could go well with a book shower where all gifts include a book and have a book theme.
You could do a scrapbook shower if the mom is into that. Each person brings (or you could make at the shower – supply the materials so that everything has the same theme and goes in a matching album) a scrapbook page ready for pictures to be added and you supply a scrapbook to put them in.
You could do a laundry/white shower. The decorations would be clothes lines and everyone bring detergent, hamper, hangers and whites (sheets, bedding, towels, etc.).
Go to ivillage.com for more ideas.
Good luck!

How about a simple fall-ish theme? Little pumpkins, leaves, browns/golds/red colors..
Or to get some ideas, find out the day that your baby shower will be EXACTLY — google the date in history and you're bound to find tons of great things that happened on that day (or your due date) and chose a theme based on a past event?
I love history!.. maybe its just me, but its always been so cute to observe new life being born and relate it to the past in some way. Kinda like blending opposites, yin/yang, etc..
CONGRATS!! <333

For the theme take into consideration the theme for the nursery and anything that Mommy and/or Daddy-to-be really like ie: favorite childhood characters, favorite animal or favorite sport. There are many more general themes as well if you are having a hard time selecting a character or style you could do a day in the life of baby theme or welcome baby.
When choosing games it is a good idea to consider all of the people that will be attending the shower. If it is mostly friends your daughters age they may be up for more modern games with a lot of guest involvement. If the shower will have many relatives from older generations then you may want to go with more traditional baby shower games.
When selecting prizes remember that they do not have to cost a lot. Candles, small cookbooks, chocolate, gift cards, and coffee or tea sets. Remeber to also consider the ages and interests of all of your guests when selecting the prizes.
With food it is best to have foods that are easy to eat while standing with a plate or holding it on your lap, unless of course you have enough room for everyone to be seated at a table. Most people opt for small sandwiches and appetizer type foods. Also be sure that none of your guests have any food allergies or dietary restrictions that you should know about.

I think moons and stars is really cute!
12:03 am
Set the table with a very bold tablecloth, put out a bunch of different tea pots, post signs to different areas of the house that say "this way" and "that way". Put out an old fashioned clock (the kind w/hands, not digital) set to tea time(make sure it doesn't keep time, you want it to stay at tea time).
For games, think pin the tail on the donkey, but do pin the grin on the Cheshire cat. Play croquet. Make everyone wear name tags with their names spelled backwards…then make everyone call each other by their backwards names or they lose the game.
Ask each guest to come dressed as a charachter in the book.
For the fishing theme, decorate with bobbers, cane poles, set out goldfish crackers, swedish fish(candy), gummy worms,etc.
Make fish cutouts, stick a magnet on the back of each, use a small pole w/ a magnet on the end of the string and "fish".
Very clever themes. They sound like a lot of fun.

First off….I have a page on my website that has some unique/sentimental activities for the shower. These are activities that HAVE NOT been done a gazillion times before.
Now….on to the THEMES!!
Bathtime Showers and Sleepytime Hours
(Moons and stars and rubber ducks would predominate. This themed shower would feature a registry with these items::::bath products, hooded towels, pajamas, nightlights, storybooks, relaxing cds, blankets, crib sheets….etc.)
Activities: Onesie decorating. One-handed crib sheet changing contest (timed)—-if a crib is readily available!!
Children's Storybook Shower: Classic Children's storybooks like "good night moon", "runaway bunny", "where the wild things are", "i love you this much", "dr. seuss", "but not the hippopotamus", "winnie the pooh", etc. You could ask each guest to bring a copy of THEIR favorite storybook to the shower to start off baby's library. The decorations could be prints from the books, themselves….if you look around you could probably find invites that have these types of themes to them!!
Family Tree: If it is a predominately family-oriented shower….focus on the family tree of the new baby!! Have a family tree made for the new baby and this could be a focal point of the decorations. What a great piece to hang in the nursery, too!! Decorations could be this family tree, and napkins/plates with words like "family", "love", "cherish", etc.
Poker-themed baby shower (a totally different idea that might work really well for the daddy-to-be and his cronies….could occur the same day as mommy's shower!!). Buy in for this poker tourney would be a package of diapers. Winner gets a really great gift certificate to some manly place like Home Depot or Best Buy!!! Decorations could be playing cards with daddy being the "King", mommy being the "Queen" and the new baby being the "Jack"????
I make custom diaper cakes designed to match your shower theme….I do really great work and would love to create a cake for the shower and whatever theme you do decide on!!
I am putting some links below that might help you out!
