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

Baby Boy Shower Themes – Themes for parties tumble in all directions, but a baby shower begins with one common denominator, babies. Sit down with a notebook and pen, start writing down words that come to mind when the word “baby” is spoken. The mind conjures up images that provide a multitude of ideas. Babies: lullaby, rocking, sweet, gentle, tiny animals, storybooks and their characters, downy soft, sunny, silly, and whimsical are a few words associated with babies. Add to the list of words specific things you know about mom and dad to be. Perhaps they love the outdoors, gardening, camping, or hiking. It could be a family that finds music and playing instruments to be an important part of their life. A sports family with riotous good humor who believe nothing is better on a hot July night than going to a baseball game. Incorporate what you know about the family with words associated with baby to come up with a very personal theme.

A Sunny Lullaby Baby Shower Theme

A family that listens to Mozart and plays Gershwin on the piano would find a lullaby theme music to their ears. Choose a second word from the list that brings to mind color or touch such as soft or sunny. A Sunny Lullaby Shower would be personal and charming. A Sunny Lullaby Shower brings to mind all shades of yellow, soft creams, and if you know if the baby is a boy or girl you could bring blue or pink into the palette. Start jotting down ideas like having the cake decorated with a cradle in the middle a huge smiling sun and tiny musical notes in all the colors of the palette chosen. Decorate around the theme using suns, babies, and musical notes. If games will be included borrow the premises of the game show “Name That Tune” using lullabies or nursery songs instead of popular tunes. While serving cake and punch play soft lullabies or classical music suited for a baby shower. Music stores carry loads of music for babies or children.

A Fairy Baby Shower

Gardeners and outdoorsmen would find a garden fairy shower to be enchanting and whimsical. The colors of nature come to mind with thoughts of garden fairies: greens, yellows, lavenders, and the iridescent flash of wings. A shower held outdoors on a deck, patio, or even in or near a garden would be a perfect setting for this theme. All things small and botanical could be used. Pressed flowers found at hobby stores like Michael’s could be used to decorate invitations. Fresh flower arrangements with tiny fairies perched among the flowers would create a darling centerpiece. Fairy cakes and nectar (punch) could be part of the refreshments served. There are books galore relating the tales and legends of the wee folk. With a little research A Fairy Baby Shower would make a charming theme.

Zoo Babies Shower

Think about the joys visiting a zoo brings to little ones. Take the wild animal theme and tame it down to become a Zoo Babies Shower. Colors could be as soft as the pink of a flamingo to the cream of a kangaroo’s tummy, or the calm gray of newborn elephant. Call friends and family to gather as many stuffed zoo animals as you can for decoration. Stickers of every kind are available at craft stores and could be used to make fun invitations. Ask the cake decorator to create a wonderful baby animal scene on the cake. Games might include name that animal with only a portion of the animal showing. The possibilities are as endless as the imagination.

Animals on Parade Baby Shower

Two things that children everywhere love are animals and parades. Combine the two for a party with rollicking good fun. The primary colors, red, blue, yellow, green, and orange come to mind with thoughts of Animals on Parade. Kittens, puppies, silly geese, tiny mice, a white goat, a gentle brown cow all marching to band music brings smiles and giggles to faces. Expand on the theme by having a cake decorated with animals clutching bright balloons.

Storybook Themed Showers

Browse through any storybook to spark the imagination. Jot down ideas while reading the story. Take note of the colors used in the stories to create a palette for decorations and favors. A few suggestions follow.

Eloise Baby Shower

The book, Eloise, by Kay Thompson allows a glimpse into the world of a little girl living in the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Read the book and then develop an entire baby shower around Eloise’s escapades. Colors would be “rawther” Eloise, deep pink, a lighter shade of pink and a touch of black. This theme would be especially great for a city baby.

Tasha Tudor Theme

A theme surrounding Tasha Tudor, a beloved children’s book illustrator, would incorporate children, animals, nature. Books she’s written and illustrated such as Pumpkin Moonshine, A is for Annabelle (an alphabet book), and Corgiville Fair could be used as guidelines.

Dr. Seuss Theme

Choose any of Dr. Seuss’s wild, whacky rhyming stories as a theme. From the charm of Horton Hears a Who to Green Eggs and Ham or the perennial favorite The Cat in the Hat fun showers themes could be gleaned. Green Eggs and Ham is everything green, punch, food, decorations. Invent a game of where is Sam-I-Am using the book as a guide.

Draw inspiration from libraries, bookstores, children’s clothing shops, a park, or anywhere that attracts babies and their families. Once the motivation sets in the imagination takes over and unique, personal baby shower themes will come to life. The fun is in the planning and the satisfaction in the face of a mother to be when she walks in to the shower and finds herself whisked into the wonder of baby enchantment.

Themes Shower Boy Baby – If you’re going for a baby shower theme that is usually associated to baby showers, but not necessarily typical, then we say go for a Frog Baby Shower Theme.

Here are some reasons why we are excited about this theme:

• It’s cute!
• We have great froggy invitation ideas.
• We could think of frog-related, untypical, and fun baby shower games/activities
• Real cute and useful froggy favors.
• Finding the right supplies will not be difficult.

Do you agree that the above reasons are important? Then great, I think we are on the same page. We just need to agree that what we consider as great are really fantastic as far as you’re concern.

Invitation

You could send some letter cut outs hanging from a string in clothesline fashion. The letter cut outs should spell frog or froggy, whatever you prefer. Make sure your party details are specified at the back of your cut outs.

Another great invitation idea is to give a chocolate cookie, any shape will do. Just make sure you icing a cute frog right on top of it, so as to complete the picture you are aiming for. Just place 5-10 “frog cookies” in a bag, and voila, you have completed one invitation. Just don’t forget to tie a note that states all your party details, or else, it will just be a gift, instead of a gift ala invitation.

Games and Activities

We love the idea of playing Finding Frog Princes. The idea of the game is to pop a lot of balloons, wherein some balloons contain a picture of a frog (a frog prince), while the other balloons contains pictures of other baby-related stuff (eg. Picture of a baby, feeding bottle, etc). The person/team who finds the most frog princes, wins the game.

Another game idea is a rendition of the popular game Pin the tail on the donkey. However, instead of a donkey, you will have a drawing of a frog, and instead of a tail, what you will have is a pacifier, which each of your guest will pin on the frog’s mouth. Everybody should be blindfolded when they play this game, of course.

Favor Ideas

We are great fans of favors/gifts that your guests will really find useful, and at the same, not too expensive.

Any bathing article (it should come in green or brown) are highly recommended as gifts/favors for your guests. That should be general enough to give you lots of gift options for your friends.

If you are one of those people who prefer giving something edible, then we highly recommend giving your guests any chocolate cakes and pastries (it’s the color of mud, but luckily, way tastier). That should satisfy most of your guests, since who could hate chocolate? If you hate the sugar, you could also give sugar-free versions, since its color won’t change, and will still be the perfect frog shower favor.

If you’ve been nodding your head while you were reading, then we think you should go for it, and throw a froggy shower. Take note that you shouldn’t be limited to the above ideas. We know that you have sufficient amount of creativeness in you, it just needs to be triggered properly, and what better time than this, when you’re about to host a shower for mom-to-be?!

Not to your taste? No worries, there are other baby shower themes available, and they are just a google away. Happy looking!

Baby Boy Shower Themes – Think twin baby shower, and a Noah’s ark shower is what usually comes to mind. Think couples shower, solemn and sacred shower, colourful shower, and it still about this theme. Whew! No wonder this is one of the more popular options for baby shower throwers.

If those didn’t make you say “Let’s throw a Noah’s Ark shower!” immediately, but you’re still curious about this theme, then here are some Noah’s Ark shower ideas that will make your decision-making easier!

Invitation

Your invitation should come shaped like a boat, since it is the very thing for a Noah’s Ark baby shower. You could use rainbow-coloured papers, full of baby pictures or other baby stuff, fold it in boat-like fashion, and there you go, your first invitation! You could also replace the colourful paper with some paper that got wet and dried (we mean intentionally), so as to give it the appearance that it travelled by water to reach your guest. A blotch or two in the writing will make it more convincing, and will not be bad on your creativity rating.

A treasure chest at the end of a rainbow is another cute and very appropriate invitation idea. Of course, instead of the usual treasure, the chest will be full of baby articles ranging from diapers, to feeding bottles, and the like. Really cute, if we may say so.

Games and Activities

In a Noah’s Ark shower, all games and activities should be played in pairs or by a group where member count is divisible by two. Just by doing that, you already escalated your shower to the next Noah’s Ark level!

Now to the more serious stuff. Games and activities in your Noah shower should be about colours, water activities, and animals.

You could start by having a crayon blowing contest, wherein each of your group will have a candle and a set of crayons. The idea is to create something related to baby (or mom-to-be) and Noah’s Ark, but instead of drawing with their hand, they have to do so with their mouth, or rather with their breath, by blowing. They just need to heat the crayons on the candle, drop the crayon meltings on a paper, and blow and blow like there’s now tomorrow. Of course, they need to make sure that they are blowing in the right direction, so as to form the right shape with the right size.

If you are up to some water fun, then how about a ring toss ducky? You will need a pool of some sort wherein a lot of rubber duckies are swimming around. You might want to fan the water a bit, so as to make the duckies swim, and therefore, more difficult to “catch”. The idea is for your guests to toss a ring to “catch” a rubber ducky with said ring. You could also add Noah’s Ark animals in the picture to make it more Noah-like.

And lastly, how about a scavenger hunt? It will still follow the normal scavenger hunt rules, but this time, what needs to be scavenged are baby articles or anything about babies and mom-to-be. And since this is a Noah’s Ark hunt, it should also be colour-coded. Each group will be assigned a colour, wherein all things to be scavenged will be of that colour. That should add a different and interesting twist to your scavenger hunt!

Favor Ideas

His and hers stuff, that’s what you should give your guests, especially if you are having a couples shower! If you find that too expensive, you could just buy colour-coded gift items and just give say, red mugs to one couple, blue to the next, and stuff.

Anything related to the beach and other water fun activities are really great favors for your guests. Goggles, tanning lotion, slippers, and the like, those are absolutely good Noah’s Ark shower favors!

Think fun, colourful, and watery, and that’s what a Noah’s Ark shower is all about. It’s perfect for any shower types!

Baby Shower Decorations Ideas – The answer to the above question is a resounding no,  especially since themes work to build a common motif to planning the decorations, food, games, favors and dress-code to a party especially a baby shower where even gifts can be bought with the theme in mind.

Planning is a big part of ensuring a unique baby shower and there is no end to the creative spirit one can bring in to making it a simple or a sophisticated event to be enjoyed by all present, in honor of the mother-to-be (or even father) and the new baby to come.

1. Base the party on a color theme – i.e. blue for boys and pink for the girl, if you know the gender of the baby. From arranging cut-outs of favorite cutesy-pie animals, cartoons or storybook characters to simply decorating with ribbons, ornaments and tinsel in these colors, one can entwine the color theme into the party crockery, favors and games centered on the colors. If you do not know the gender of the new baby, you can opt for neutral soft colors like yellow and green.
2. Teddy bears are adorable through the year so why not pick them to have a sure-fire hit at your baby shower by keeping the party themed around huggable soft toys? From using them as the centerpiece to having the one belonging to the guest of honor taking place of pride at the dining table or games-stand, there’s a lot Teddy and his buddies can do to perk up the party mood! Just ensure the teddy bears you use are old but clean and thus, presentable for using on the occasion of a baby shower.
3. Saying it with Diapers – yes, you can do that and more with the baby shower party, right from shaping out diaper-cut invitation cards to asking guests to bring along diaper gifts in a certain size so the expectant parents are assured of at least a few months supply in diapers, in assorted sizes as the baby grows. Apart from being a practical gift, the invites will look so cute, too!
4. Join the kiddy brigade yourself and go back to school with popular nursery rhyme themes for the baby shower party; have guests dress up as their favorite character from a Mother Goose rhyme and decorative with colored cut-outs of favorite poems. Get innovative with ordering or making replicas of these or add in lines from popular kiddy poems into the invites and games.
5. Twins are double the fun and you can truly make it more so by organizing a unique baby shower for the expectant parents by detailing this important fact into the party invite so guests can bring a set of similar gifts or even different ones for both the new arrivals. From Noah’s ark where guests may dress in pairs and come to old, beloved fairytale themes like Cinderella, Peter Pan and Snow-White (choose gender appropriate themes, if you know the sex of the coming baby) or else stick with a story-idea that suits both genders, there’s a lot of great baby shower themes you can plan your party around.

Co-ordinate the baby shower theme décor with invitations, dress code requirements, menu ideas and games organized – and yes, even the party favors can reflect the theme to be consistent with the desired ambience so everything is perfect!

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.

Baby Boy Shower Themes – Ok ladies, you’ve been given the honor (or punishment) of throwing the Baby Shower and maybe you do not even have any children of your own, have never been pregnant and you’re completely lost and frantic about how to get started because the only thing that you know about a Baby Shower is that the expectant mom is supposed to open a bunch of gifts while everyone sits around “oohing and ahhing”!

Sound like you? Take a deep breath; the first step to planning the perfect Shower for your expectant loved one is to select a Shower theme! A theme gives you an idea to revolve everything else around and can make all of the little details of planning the Shower just seem to “fall into place”.

When planning any event, committing to a theme gives you a base for your planning. If you’re reluctant to select a theme because you think that you’ll have difficulty finding products (invitations, centerpieces, games, balloons, decorations, etc.) that match your theme, don’t sweat it. It’s much easier to have a theme that you stray from here and there than not to have a theme at all and to wander aimlessly through the planning process.

Discuss theme ideas with your mom-to-be. Select something that will be fun, entertaining and that is in-line with mom’s personality and passion. Maybe even something that will match the nursery theme (by the way, “pink” is not a theme, it’s a color. Be more creative than that).

Once you’ve selected your theme, start thinking about how you can incorporate it into games, activities and decorations throughout the event. You’ll be amazed how easily things start to fall into place!

As a diaper cake Designer myself, of course I’m going to suggest that you create or order a diaper cake to match your theme. Diaper cakes can be used as a centerpiece for the gift table or the head table at the event or , they are a great piece to place at the entryway to greet your guests and immediately introduce them to the party’s theme! Select a cake designer that can work with you to meet your needs or construct your own cake to match your Shower theme. Match a cake to even the most unusual or unique Baby Shower theme. If you need help or just some ideas, visit us at

One of the things that I like best about planning a Shower around a theme is that it can allow you stray from the boring “everything baby” mentality of Showers. For instance, if the theme is Cowboys or Ballerinas, you could plan a trivia game that revolves around famous western movies or famous musicals rather than making every game and activity just about the baby… After all, the guests at the event are typically all adults, right?

Here are just a few simple theme ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

-    Noah’s Ark
-    Safari
-    Circus
-    Peter Rabbit (or any classic or favorite story book)
-    Jungle
-    Teddy Bears
-    Sports
-    Princess or Fairy Tale
-    Beach
-    Ballerina
-    Cowboy/Cowgirl
-    Doctor

Have fun with it and don’t get discouraged!
