Baby Shower Themes & Decorating Ideas
Baby Boy Shower Themes – A baby shower is by far the happiest party event. Everyone loves to see all the cute baby things that the new member of the family will be wearing. Baby toys and equipment is always a pleasure to see because the arrival of a new baby is such a joyous event.
Who Hosts The Party?
Anyone can host a baby shower for the mother-to-be. In the past, it was traditional for someone not related to host the party, but these days it is perfectly acceptable for the expectant mother’s sister or her own mother to host the party. It used to be that baby showers were just for the ladies, but a new trend of a co-ed baby shower has cropped up so that the new daddy feels included.
Who to Invite
If the shower is not to be a surprise be sure and have the expectant mother look over the guest list so that no one is left out. Everyone that is a friend or a relative will be happy to get an invitation. If you are hosting a co-ed shower, be sure to ask the dad who he would like to be included.
At the Co-Ed Shower
Guys typically don’t get all soft and mushy when it comes to baby things, but you can get them in the mood by playing a great game of charades with a baby theme. Have guests act out things like, changing a diaper, fussy baby, or giving birth. Everyone will be sure to have a lot of fun. Guys love food so be sure there are plenty of dishes that men love such as 6 foot heroes, nachos and chicken wings.
Decorating for the Shower
Decorating for a baby shower is so much fun because there are so many cute things to be found. You can serve guests blue and pink baby foot print lollipops or baby carriage lollipops. On the tables you can put pastel pink and blue baby bottle containers and fill them up with candy or other treats.
Many times the sex of the baby is known before the birth so you can incorporate whether it is to be a boy or a girl with canisters of pink or blue hot chocolate to present to guests or scatter adorable princess rubber duckys on the tables. You may even want to play a game of baby shower bingo.
Where to Hold the Shower
The spring and fall are the perfect time to host an outdoor baby shower. If you have a big backyard it is the ideal venue to throw the party. Others decide to hold a baby shower at a local restaurant or rent a hall. It is entirely up to you and your budget where you want to hold the baby shower. No matter where it is, it is bound to be a happy and exciting event that will be enjoyed by all that attend.

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

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!

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!

Cute ideas, but that is not FREE to make. Each of the rhinestones, ribbon, etc. all cost a good bit of money, depending on the number of invitations you have to embellish.
11:57 pm
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

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!
