Fun Baby Shower Themes

If there is one thing that you can bank on, it is the fact that you have plenty of interesting ideas to choose from when it comes to baby shower themes. When you have a friend or a close relative who is expecting a baby in the near future, you may find that you will be first in line to put together a great baby shower that everyone will enjoy and remember. With a little bit of help from a few close friends or family members and a cute baby shower theme to work with, you can begin planning the joyous event.

While some people will actually opt for a baby shower that is theme free, many planners like to go with a particular style. In many cases, they will take the elements of design that the expecting parents have chosen to decorate their baby's nursery. Some baby shower hosts will also look into choosing a theme that is something that speaks of the expecting parent's background, heritage or hobbies. The great thing about coming up with a theme is that you have the ability to mold it into just about any sort of event that you can dream up. The final product is sure to be something incredible that everyone will remember for years to come.

If you are doing a baby shower that will take place before the baby arrives, you can always go ahead and plan something that will pamper guests as well as the mother to be. Set up a miniature spa party with a subtle baby theme that will surely have all guests intrigued. As a mother to be is nearing the end of her pregnancy, she is often tired and wishing that she could relax. This kind of a baby shower theme is just perfect to set up a couple of manicure or pedicure stations manned by either guests who are skilled in these areas or hire local cosmetologist in your area. While you enjoy this party theme, all of the guests can nosh on light snacks and beverages and express their best wishes to the expecting parents. After many of the spa activities have dwindled down, you can then gather up the guests and take the time to open gifts for the new baby.

On a more traditional note, you can look to a classic shower theme that includes everything that is needed in regards to bath time for the new bundle of joy. When setting up a bath themed baby shower, you can ask guests to bring gifts that are related to bathing, hygiene and swaddling the little one after each bath time. Some guests may even want to go in on a group gift of a baby bath tub that is filled with items that the new parents will use for their new baby over the first couple of years. Setting up this kind of a baby shower theme is fun and easy, especially because you have so many options in terms of invitations, decorations and favors. Look for invitations that have yellow rubber duckies on them. When choosing favors, stay with bath theme by giving guests bath salts, scented soaps, or shower gel.

If your expectant parents are due to welcome their baby during the holiday months, you can always choose a gorgeous Christmas or Holiday themed baby shower. This is the perfect opportunity to tell guests to bring gifts for the baby on the way and place them underneath a Christmas tree that is specially decorated with whimsical baby items including rattles, teddy bears, baby bottles and so on. Some party planners may even take this baby shower theme into the direction of a baby in a manger or even an angel, all depending on whether or not the gender of the baby is already announced.

Another baby shower theme that has rapidly grown in popularity over the past decade happens to be a co-ed adventure. This is when both men and women get together and celebrate the pending birth of the baby all in one location. While many showers seem to focus primarily on the women who are friends and relatives of the mother and father, these co-ed parties are a great way for couples to get a chance to enjoy all of the shower gifts and excitement together. If you would like to plan a co-ed baby shower, you can think of putting special shower invitations together that reflect the theme and noting that both men and women are encouraged to attend. Sometimes, the guys even like to purchase separate gifts for the father to be in the form of items that he may like to use after baby is born including books with bedtime stories, camera equipment, daddy t-shirts and much more.

Either way you look at any of these shower themes, you always have plenty of options when you want to plan a fun and memorable baby shower.
