Things to Do: Themes

This means that more and more people are opting to create a certain style, or theme, of baby shower. Do you remember those high school dances that were built around a theme? Like oldies theme, or rock & roll theme, or something else? And the decorations and so forth all reflected the chosen theme? Well, that’s the same deal here with thematic baby showers.

Now, the sky truly is the limit on what theme you’d like to use. Really: anything that you can imagine, provided that it’s realistic and within your budget, is fine.

To create a theme, simply have the following items reflect what you’ve chosen:

• The invitations should themselves reflect the chosen theme (e.g. Alice in Wonderland)
• The baby shower room should be decorated with items reflecting the theme (e.g. colors, posters, props such as stuffed animals or balloons)
• The refreshments and food (discussed further) should reflect the theme.

Now, just in case you want to get your creative juices flowing, some suggested themes are provided to you below. They’re all from the website www.babycenter.com, and from real people who held successful baby showers (just like yours will be!).
