Baby Shower Themes

Planning a baby shower can be quite an undertaking. Selecting a baby related theme can be helpful to make the shower unique.

When selecting a theme, it is a nice courtesy for the hostess to ask the mom to be what theme she likes. Oftentimes, the new mother will leave it up to the party planner. Here are some common themes for baby showers:

1) Baby Shower color themes - The blue and pink theme is a simple theme that allows the most flexibility. Blue for boy baby showers and pink for girl baby showers are traditional themes that are commonly used for such parties.

2) Rubber Ducky Theme - The yellow rubber ducky is another popular symbol for the arrival of a new baby. Rubber duck items are easy to find, which makes this another great theme to use. Some duck items include key chains, duck themed paper plates, and duck shaped candles.

3) Noah's Ark Theme - Noah's ark is another theme that is used for baby showers. The ark is often portrayed as a boat full of cute animals.

4) Teddy Bear Theme - The teddy bear is perhaps the most obvious theme for baby showers. One can easily find a wide selection of bear themed items, including invitations, favors, decorations, and gifts.

5) Stork Theme - The stork theme is also fairly popular, which comes from the story that children are carried into the world by a giant stork. The stock is very popular for lawn signs, which is a nice decoration to put up before a baby shower.

6) Carriage Theme - The baby carriage or bassinet theme is also nice for baby showers. Mini baby carriages and carriage shaped candles are popular decorations for baby showers. Carriage shaped containers are also great for serving food at baby shower parties.

7) Baby Rattle - The baby rattle is another useful symbol for baby parties. Rattles often occur in baby shower decorations and favor charms.

8) Babies - A less common theme, but also appropriate is the baby theme. Most commonly, decorations will show a baby wrapped in a blanket or in a diaper.

9) Diaper theme - Diaper and safety pins are also commonly seen at baby showers. A diaper cake is a great centerpiece if you are using a diaper theme.

10) Baby bottle theme - Baby bottles can be used as containers for candy and food or even drinks during a party. Bottles are also common as charms and decorations.

There are many other themes, including pacifiers, baby blocks, and more. You can use any of these themes, combine them, or use your own creative ideas.
