Baby Shower Ideas

When it’s your turn to give a baby shower, the first thing you should consider is a theme for the party. The theme can be based on the gender of the baby, if known, either a blue or pink theme. A Disney, Big Bird or other child like character is another good theme to consider. Whatever your theme, it will make you focus on what kind of paper goods and decorations to purchase.

It's fun to play baby games at a shower. There are numerous games to choose from and different websites to get good ideas some being: www.babyshower101.com, www.creative-baby-shower-idea.com, www.101babyshower.com and www.baby-shower.com. A great game is baby bingo. You give your guests a blank bingo card and they write in baby gifts in each space, when the mother-to-be opens presents, the guest’s block off what she received. When they get “bingo” they win a prize. Other games include guess mom’s tummy size and never say the word baby.

When sending out invitations for the shower you can ask the guests to bring a book to the shower instead of a card. Tell them to write a special thought in the book that the baby can someday read when they get older. It is also a good way for the mother to spend special time with her infant by reading all the books she received at her shower. It makes a good memory for mother and baby.

I hope some of these ideas about giving a baby shower have helped. The most important is just to have fun when you’re planning and you will be surprised how well everything will turn out.
