Baby Boy Shower Themes – The Perfect Invitation to Set Your Baby Shower Theme
Baby Boy Shower Themes – The perfect Invitation to set your baby shower theme.
When ordering the printed baby shower invitations it is important to get an accurate count of how many guests the Mom-to-Be wants to invite to the Baby Shower. The number will depend on where the baby shower will be held. Usually between 10-50 guests are invited, but this will all depend on the location and what type of shower is being planned, such as a co-ed couples baby shower, or a traditional, women only baby shower.
Before selecting your personalized baby shower invitation, you might want to order more invitations than are needed so there will be extras for keepsake and forgotten guests. If sending the baby shower invitations for a baby shower by mail, it might be a good idea to ensure they stand out so that guests will not think it is junk mail and toss the baby shower invitations without ever opening it.
With so many choices it is important for the hostess to sit down with the parents to be and discuss what type of event they would like to have. The personalized invitations for the baby shower will need to be a reflection of the theme for the event, and you want to capture the spirit of your baby shower in the invitations. Don’t forget to order the baby shower Thank You cards and Gift Tags at the same time the baby shower invitations are ordered so that the baby shower thank you cards and gift tags reflect the baby shower theme.
At www.poshexpressions.com, there are many styles to choose from, featuring the most trendy and up- to-date styles available. The different styles can include formal, trendy, or simple, whatever best fits with the theme and personality of the Mom-to-Be. The invitations for the baby shower should be sent out approximately four to six weeks prior to the date of the shower. This will give the guests enough time to purchase the gift and clear their schedule and RSVP.
When ordering the printed baby shower invitations, it is important to rember to include:
• name of the Mom-to-Be, or Parents-to- Be
• what type of baby shower it is, such as a surprise or couples baby shower
• the date, place and time of the baby shower
• if the Mom-to-Be is registered and where
• if a meal is planned
• the theme of the shower
• if the guests are to RSVP and by when
• include the gender of the baby if it’s known
Thank You

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

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!

Your so creative, i love all ur ideas! You should do more “how-to” baby related craft items- i LOVE them!!! Plus they get me inspired to do stuff for my son and #2 when it happens

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.

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.

8:44 pm
Yeah, i think i watched them- the dividers and all that?
Oh yeah, i forgot about the bed rest- im sorry you have to be stuck doing nothing
Must be tough hun…
9:18 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
6:43 am

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!
