Learnthat.com - How to Plan and Throw a Memorable Baby Shower

You won't find these original theme packages anywhere else.

These unique ideas cover everything -- from theme-oriented decorations and refreshments to games and gifts. A great theme makes planning your baby shower a cinch. And I don't mean "pink" or "blue" themes (nothing wrong with those, don't get me wrong.) If you have the desire for something a little more elaborate, try one of these on for size. They are not very time or monetarily intensive. You won't find these anywhere else -- I created them especially for simple yet memorable baby shower packages. You can modify to suit your own needs.

Generations of Love. A celebration of the entire family and their heritage. You'd want to make sure that some family members of the parents-to-be (especially the grandparents-to-be) could attend. You'll also need to contact them for information (a family tree for example.) The invitations could be decorated with a family tree on the outside cover. It could be blown up as a poster and displayed on the wall or front door for decoration. Food could be the expecting couple's favorite foods as children.

Games would include friends sharing trivia about their own families -- famous relatives, traditions, or a funny family story. One game that might be played would be to have everyone bring a baby picture and display them on the table, numbered. Then everybody writes down who they think matches which photo; the winner will be the one with the most correct guesses. You can also give prizes to the attendee who has a birthday closest to the baby's due date, the mother's b'day and grandma's b'day. Your gift could be a baby book or memory book for the expecting mother.

Baby's Day in History. Plan your party around the baby's expected due date. Use seasonal decorations for Spring, Summer, Winter, or Fall or any holidays that may fall near the date. Decorations and invitations would also reflect the season in which the baby is due. A food idea would be birthday cake, marked with the baby's name(s) if the parents already know this detail.

A game would be a quiz about the day in history that you create by doing a little research. Notable births, inventions, battles, and other events in history are a few items you could mention. Another game would be for friends to place bets on when they think Baby will actually arrive! Your gift could be a birth survival kit: full of small items designed for the day of the birth such as hard candy for Mom to suck on, a stress ball to squeeze, a water bottle, a tape or CD of relaxing music, etc. You can place all of the items in a small tote bag.
