5 Ways to Find the Perfect Baby Shower Theme

Baby shower hosts often find it challenging to come up with a baby shower theme that will impress the mother-to-be. Once you start to think about the mother, the baby, and the shower, you often find that the right theme will present itself.

Here are some things to consider:

Is the baby a boy or a girl? This will help you determine if you can go with a gender specific theme or color scheme or something gender neutral, like the alphabet.

During which season is the baby being born? For fall babies, you can go with a harvest theme, whereas a summer baby you might consider a beach baby theme. 

What does the mother enjoy? Maybe the mom-to-be could use some pampering so you could host a spa shower. Or maybe she loves to travel so you could host a French or Italian-inspired baby shower. Or maybe she has a favorite movie or book that could serve as inspiration for a theme.

Where will the shower be hosted? Perhaps your shower location lends itself to a certain theme? A backyard shower could easily be transformed into an enchanted forest, for example. 

What type of shower will it be? Are you planning a big shower at a rented hall or an intimate shower at someone's house? Dinner or bunch? A victorian tea party works well for a brunch or lunch, but maybe not as well for a dinner shower. 

Once you've picked a theme, you can incorporate it throughout with the invitations, favors, decorations, and party supplies. The mother-to-be will be more than impressed that you went through the effort to make her shower a special day to remember! 

Enjoy Planning.
