Your friend is having a baby in a few months, and she and her husband are very happy about it. Since she’s one of the most important people in your life, you have decided to hold a baby shower party in her honor. It’s a great idea, since she can have fun with her close family and friends as well as receive gifts for her newborn. You start to prepare for the party, but suddenly, you have another brilliant idea: why not make it a surprise? She’ll love it!

You might think that planning a surprise baby shower is easy, but think again—there are tons of things you have to be careful about. You must be able to go through with the party preparations quickly, without alerting the mom-to-be. Everything, from the invitations to the party favors, must be kept away a secret from her, while still trying to cooperate and work with the people she’s close to.

To help you with your baby shower surprise party planning, here are several helpful suggestions you should remember.

Letting The Guests Know: Party Invitations

Once you’ve decided on a theme, you can scout for the perfect party invitations to use for the event. Just get some at a party supply store, and you’re all set. Those with the words “It’s a SURPRISE baby shower for mommy!” are very practical because the guests will get the message loud and clear. Then, when you fill out the invites with the party details, don’t forget to include important information, such as your name as the party host and contact number for RSVP, the place where you had the mom registered and what additional items the guests should bring.

Simple and Secret Surprise Party Decorations

Your surprise baby shower party decorations should not only be eye-pleasing, but also easy to put up. That way, when you need to rush around, you won’t have to worry too much. Streamers, balloons and confetti are good choices. Just make sure they all fit the theme, or at least be color-coordinated.

Surprise Baby Shower Food: Delicious and Easy Choices

There are tons of great ideas for party food, but what’s important is to pick one those that’ll go with the time of the party. For example, if you’re holding a brunch baby shower, breakfast food would be ideal. Afternoon surprise baby showers would be perfect with tea and sweet pastries. A dinner surprise baby shower could have finger foods and wine to satisfy the guests.

It’s a good idea to get a caterer to help you fix the food, but if you want to save money and do the cooking, just choose simple party food items. Instead of getting heavy meals, make sandwiches, salad and appetizers. They’re filling and easy to prepare.

Party Fun: Surprise Baby Shower Games

You can play fun games at the surprise baby shower party! How about the “Dirty Diaper Surprise” game? Everyone is handed a diaper and whoever gets the one with a “poop” (use melted chocolate) gets a prize. Another fun idea is “Baby Song List” where the guests can name (or sing!) all the songs they know with the word “baby” in the lyrics or title. You can also play Baby Pictionary or Baby charades. Games like these are simple, fun and don’t require much material, so they’ll be easy to prepare.

Memorable Party Favors: “Surprise” Gifts for Your Guests

Since the baby shower is a surprise, you should give party favors that give the guest a wonderful surprise! Why not make cookies or brownies and put them in small tin boxes? Wrap them and tie a ribbon around them. The guests will feel as if they have a surprise gift to open when they go home.

A surprise baby shower party would certainly be appreciated by the mom-to-be, and with these suggestions, planning one would be a cinch. Go ahead and start preparing, and watch your pregnant friend have the time of her life! For more information regarding this article, read how to organize a surprise party.

A baby shower is one of the oldest and most popular celebrations people throw. It’s a special party that honors the arrival of a baby. For many parents, this is one of the most special events they’ll always cherish for the rest of their lives.

Baby showers are usually held a month or two before the mommy-to-be gives birth, and sometimes, the timing of the party happens to be at the same season of a particular holiday. That’s why instead of choosing cutesy themes, some planners use holiday themes for the baby shower instead.

Holiday themed baby showers are just as fun and exciting as the non-holiday baby showers. Here are several common examples and suggestions for baby showers that fall on special holiday seasons.

Holiday Baby Shower Invitations

Valentine’s Day - Since Valentine’s is the time when chocolate are sent out to, one great idea is to send chocolate baby shower invites. Get small boxes of chocolate, and then tape the party details to them. Place them in red envelopes and mail them to the guests.

Easter - You can send Easter eggs as cute party invitations. Get plastic egg shells (the kind that opens in the middle) and put a small blue or pink scroll inside that contains all the party details. Then, tie a ribbon around the plastic egg, along with a note containing the addressee’s name. (Learn how to make easter eggs)

Christmas - You can send baby shower invitations in the shape of a Christmas Tree, Santa Claus, a Snowman or the Christmas Star. Invites with an image of baby Jesus on the cover are also great.

Holiday Baby Shower Decorations

Valentine’s Day - Aside from the usual pink and red confetti, glitter, balloons and heart decorations, here’s another fun idea: get red and pink baby clothes and hang them around the venue. Red and pink baby blankets would also be great. You can also get cute Cupid decorations. After all, Cupid looks like a cute baby boy, doesn’t he?

Easter - Pastel decorations can give a festive Easter atmosphere to the party. To add a more elegant touch, Easter egg baskets can be useful as table centerpieces. Fill them up with colorful chocolate rabbits, peeps, jelly beans and egg candies, then place them on every table. Baby Easter bunny banners and posters can also be used for the walls.

Christmas - The colors red, green and gold must be very dominant in your decorations. To add beauty and color to the venue, you can also use poinsettia centerpieces for the tables. Silver and gold decorations, such as streamers, confetti and glitter would also be appropriate decorative elements.

Holiday Baby Shower Party Food

Valentine’s Day - Since it’s a sweet season, you can serve sweet treats to your guests. Chocolate covered strawberries, strawberry flavored ice cream sundaes and pink sherbet punch would be delightful choices. You can also make treats such as heart-shaped cheese and crackers and fruit salad with the fruit in heart shapes.

Easter - Aside from the sweet Easter candy treats, you can also serve delicious finger foods for your guests. Boiled egg halves with dressing on top would be wonderful choices. Egg salad and crackers would also be yummy.

Christmas - What’s a Christmas party without cakes and cookies? Serve delightful treats such as Strawberry Christmas Cake, Christmas Pumpkin Roll-Up Cake, Toffee-Pecan Bars and Coconut Oatmeal Cookies. For the beverage, serve eggnog and hot chocolate. (Tips on how to bake a chocolate cake)

Holiday Baby Shower Party Games

Valentine’s Day - One activity you can do is the “What I Love Game”. Each guest says something nice about the mommy-to-be, and begins by saying “What I Love about ___ (mom’s name) is. . .” Then, every guest writes a short message for her in small pink cards. The mom-to-be can keep them as memories.

Easter - Since Easter is a time for Easter egg hunting, you should play this fun game, but there’s a unique twist: the mom-to-be gets to be the “It”! She must search the venue for hidden Easter eggs, with each piece corresponding to a particular prize, such as gift certificates, baby supplies and money.

Christmas - A fun game everyone can play would be the Possible Baby Name Game. The hostess gives the guests sheets of paper with the word CHRISTMAS written vertically. In a given time limit, they must list boy and girl name ideas beginning with each letter.

Holiday Baby Shower Party Favors

Valentine’s Day - Cute party favors can include pink Jelly Beans in pink tinted bottles, red scented candles, or small boxes of chocolate.

Easter - Before each guest goes, give them party favors so they’ll remember the fun time they had. Give beautiful Easter eggs that open in the middle with a small baby doll inside them.

Christmas - Baby angel figurines would be wonderful party favors. If you want it to be a bit more special, you can bake Christmas cookies in the shape of baby items and place them in red and green tin jars.

 

Holiday baby showers are very common nowadays, and with these party ideas, you can make these special, seasonal celebrations more enjoyable and exciting for everyone!

When someone is having a baby, everyone immediately becomes excited for her, especially the people she’s close to. They not only want her to be happy about the pregnancy, but also want to celebrate it with her. That’s why a few month before her little angel comes out, they throw an enjoyable baby shower party for her. It’s an intimate event, filled with merrymaking, delicious food, gift-giving and games.

Before you can really start planning the baby shower, you need to settle on one very important aspect: the theme of the event. Baby showers aren’t complete without a motif. A party theme holds all the different aspects together, and also makes the party more enjoyable. Since it’s a baby shower, you need something that everyone can relate to, but also has something to do with babies.

A cartoon baby shower is a great example of a cohesive party theme. It’s enjoyable and cheerful. Any guest will be able to relate to a cartoon baby shower theme. As children, they probably enjoyed different cartoon shows, which is why they know how fun a cartoon shower can be.

It’s great to have a mix of cartoon characters during your baby shower, but if you want, you can settle on just one cartoon. It all depends on what’s practical for you and what the mom-to-be wants.

It’s not very difficult to plan a cartoon baby shower. Here are several suggestions you can use.

Cartoon Baby Shower Invitations: Creative Cartoon Invites

If you’ve settled on just one cartoon theme, find ready-made invitations from party supply stores. They can save you a lot of time and effort. Winnie the Pooh, Hello Kitty, Mickey Mouse and Looney Tunes characters are popular options among many baby shower planners.

If you can’t find the cartoon characters of your choice, you can simply create your own invitations. You just need some colored paper and coloring materials. All it takes is a bit of creativity. If you don’t know how to draw, just get some images from the Internet, have them printed out on your PC and paste them neatly on another piece of paper. Fill in the party details.

Character Decors: Cartoon Decorations

You can buy cartoon character decorations from party supply shops, such as banners and streamers. If you want, you can also get cutouts of the cartoon character of your choice, and then paste them on the walls.

It’s nice to have cartoon character table centerpieces. If you can find figurines of your favorite characters, use them as centerpieces. If you can’t find any, use food items! Create edible statues out of your favorite fruits and then put them in the middle of the table.

Delightful Snacks: Cartoon Party Food

You can use the cartoon character for your food decorations. For example, your cookies could have the face of baby Tweety Bird or the Powerpuff Girls frosted on them. You can also use the cartoon decoration on your cake as well.

Here’s another fun idea: think about the cartoon character you’ve used for your theme—what is his or her favorite food item? If you picked Mickey Mouse, cheese and crackers would be delightful treats. If you’ve chosen the Little Mermaid, seafood would be perfect.

Cartoon Activities: Baby Shower Games

A cartoon baby shower will be no fun without enjoyable party games to entertain the guests! One fun idea is Cartoon Charades, where several participants try to reenact a popular animated film, while the others try to guess what cartoon it is (Learn how to play charades). Another would be Cartoon Pairs, where the guests match one cartoon character with another related character. The person who gets the most correct answers wins the game.

When everyone gets tired of playing the game, you can all amuse yourselves by watching several episodes of the cartoon you’ve chosen.

Cartoon Giveaways: Baby Shower Party Favors

Don’t let your guests go home without anything to help them remember their time at the party! Give them soaps or candles carved in the shape of cartoon characters (Tips on how to make a soap). Photo frames with cartoon designs are also delightful options.

A cartoon baby shower will certainly delight the mom-to-be and the guests! Use this theme for your next party, and let everyone feel like a child again. They’ll feel more excited about the arrival of the new baby!

You’re throwing a baby shower party for one of your closest friends to celebrate the arrival of her newborn. A baby shower will not only let her spend time with her friends and close relatives, but also let her receive gifts she can use when her baby comes out. With lots of fun and merrymaking, this is the best way to welcome her little angel.

You’ve decided to have an intimate baby shower, since your friend isn’t fond of large celebrations. Even so, if you’re only going to have a small party, you still want to have a fun theme to make it more enjoyable. That’s why you’ve decided to have a baby scrapbooking party.

A baby scrapbooking party is a theme that centers on creating a scrapbook for the mom-to-be. In the midst of all the party festivities, the guests spend their time together creating a special memento for the mommy and her little angel. For small baby shower parties, this is a very enjoyable and creative theme party planners often turn to.

Planning a baby scrapbooking party is not very difficult. Here are several creative suggestions you can use for this event.

Crafty Invites: Baby Scrapbooking Invitations

Let the theme’s creative air show off in your invitations! Instead of getting store-bought invites, make your own homemade ones. You just need colored construction paper and coloring materials. You can paste photos of baby items on the invitations, or better yet, photos of the pregnant mom-to-be.

Note in the invitation that since the baby shower is a scrapbooking party, the guests should bring materials that can be used in the creation of the scrapbook. Ask them to bring photos of themselves, and if they have some, pictures of themselves with the mom-to-be.

Baby Scrapbooking Decorations: Festive Scrapbook

Most scrapbooks are colorful and vibrant with lots of materials in it. Remember this thought when decorating the venue. Use bright streamers, confetti and banners. Then, add some baby items here and there, such as diapers, baby clothes, baby bottles and pacifiers.

You can also create a small “baby shower freedom wall” for the mommy-to-be. Post a large poster paper on the wall, near the venue entrance. When guests enter, they should write a message for the mom-to-be. After the party, she can keep this as a souvenir.

Baby Scrapbooking Food: Creative and Yummy Treats

Since everyone is busy with the scrapbook, prepare simple yet delicious finger foods and beverages for the guests. Just make sure they look festive and colorful, consistent with the theme. For example, if you’re serving cupcakes, decorate them with colorful frosting. For the drinks, make fruit punch with actual fruit bits mixed in it. The fruit can add a colorful appearance to the drink.

Scrapbooking Fun Activities: Making The Scrapbook

Since the focus of the party is on the scrapbook you’re making for the mommy, make sure everyone contributes to it. Allot a page for everyone, so they can write their greetings and wishes for the mommy. Let the guests take turns when filling in the space, while the mom-to-be is busy with something else, such opening her gifts. When everyone has had her turn, let the mom choose which page she thinks is the most creative. The guest who created the page gets a special prize. (More tips on how to make a scrapbook)

Ask someone to bring a Polaroid camera, and take photos of the event. Then, allot a space for the pictures, and let everyone have fun filling in the captions for the pictures.

Scrapbooking Memories: Adorable Party Favors

It’s nice for the guests to have a keepsake to remind them of the event. You can give them cute mini-notebooks or planners, with a short “thank you note” from the mom-to-be inside. Another great idea is to compile all the baby shower photos into an album, make several copies of it, then send it to the guests after the party.

A baby scrapbooking party is a wonderful and enjoyable event you can throw for a special mommy-to-be. Go ahead and have this fun party! The mommy will surely appreciate everyone’s help in putting together the scrapbook. For more information regarding this article, read Baby Shower Ideas.

A Fairytale-Like Venue: Baby Book Decorations

Aside from the usual streamers, balloons and confetti, find cutouts and posters of popular fairytale and children’s story characters, such as Snow White, the Gingerbread Man, Hansel and Gretel and the Three Little Pigs.

Entertaining Storybook Activities: Baby Book Party Games

You can also go down memory lane and have a discussion about your favorite books when you were little. Share why you like the book, and what memories you have with it.

Another fun activity is to watch a movie that’s derived from a children’s book, such as the Snow White or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Storybook Giveaways: Baby Book Party Favors

You can’t let the guests leave without party favors! A figurine of a baby sleeping on top of a book would be a great choice. If you want, you can also give out actual baby books. Small, pocket-size versions would be nice.

You’ve decided to throw an enjoyable baby shower for your pregnant friend. You want her to have a good time with her other close friends and family members, and to receive gifts for her little one. Since you’re planning the shower, you need to consider numerous details, including the guest list, the food, the decorations and the program. Before all of these, you also need to decide on a fun and enjoyable theme.

It’s not necessary for a baby shower to have a party theme, but since many parents want their child’s party to be special, they settle on an adorable theme for the party. Of course, they want it to be fun, cheerful, but still be connected to a baby theme.

One very popular theme that has all of these characteristics is the Nursery Rhyme theme. Every child grew up reading and listening to these rhymes, and even in their adult years, they are still fond memories of their childhood. That’s why Nursery Rhyme themes are very popular among many baby shower planners.

At first, a Nursery Rhyme baby shower seems difficult to plan, but with these useful suggestions, preparing for this party would be very easy.

You can also make the lines rhyme if you want.

Nursery Rhyme Colors: Party Decorations

The colors used for a Nursery Rhyme party are the same as in other baby showers. Pastel hues, such as baby blue, pink, lavender, yellow and light green are great choices. You can also have nursery rhyme table centerpieces for your venue. For example, a black sheep figurine (Baa, Baa Blacksheep) could go on one table, while a plate and a spoon (Hey Diddle, Diddle) can be placed on another.

Snacks Inspired From Nursery Rhymes: Party Food

You can serve a wide variety of food during Nursery Rhyme baby showers, but here’s a great idea: why not serve food that is mentioned in nursery rhymes and stories? For example, you can serve Little Gingerbread Men or Bean Salad (inspired by Jack and the Beanstalk). Boiled egg halves with yummy toppings are also great choices, and you can tell your guests that it’s Humpty Dumpty. (Learn how to make gingerbread men)

Remembering Your Nursery Rhymes: Party Games

One very enjoyable game you can play is Nursery Rhyme Charades. The guests are divided into two teams. When a team’s turn comes, they have to draw a nursery rhyme written on a slip of paper from a jar. The team members have to act it out and the other members will have to guess the nursery rhyme.

If the guests feel awkward acting out the rhymes, they can just play Nursery Rhyme Pictionary. One of the team members draws the rhyme on paper instead, and the other members answer it.

Cute Childhood Giveaways: Nursery Rhyme Party Favors

You can get picture frames or baby items with designs inspired by nursery rhymes. Another fun idea is to give personalized nursery rhyme mugs. These can have drawings and quotes from the mom-to-be’s favorite nursery rhyme. It’s a simple, but cute giveaway your guests will cherish.

It’s just like a typical baby shower, except the people who attend are either married couples or those in serious relationships.

Treats For Two: Couples Baby Shower Food

Typical baby showers usually have appetizers and sandwiches, but since you’ll be inviting men, you need to serve food items that are delicious and more filling. Remember, guys have big appetites. Aside from the usual finger foods and salads for the moms, you also serve food such as casseroles and enchiladas. Barbecued meat, such as burger patties, chicken and, baby back ribs are also yummy choices.

As for the drinks, you can serve fruit juices and soda, but don’t forget the alcoholic beverages for the men. Beer, whiskey or wine would be appropriate.

Lastly, don’t forget dessert! Men and women alike love sweet treats. Cake, cookies or muffins are delicious desserts you can serve.

Co-Ed Entertainment: Couples Party Games

It’ll be more fun if you can have party games during the baby shower, so the guests won’t become bored.

A Super Bowl baby shower is like typical Super Bowl parties, except it contains a bit more cheesiness and is more baby-oriented. Usually, these parties are made for co-ed or men only showers. Here are several helpful tips you can turn to when you’re going to have a super Super Bowl baby shower.

Football Invites: Super Bowl Baby Shower Invitations

If you don’t have time to spare, you can easily get invitations with football designs from typical party supply stores, but if you want to be a bit more creative, you can make your own homemade invitations. One simple idea is to cut out invitations in football shapes, and then print the party details on them. You can also draw cute cartoons for the invites, such as a baby holding a football while he or she is sleeping.

Another wonderful idea for a Super Bowl invitation is to get small inexpensive footballs (blue, plastic ones would work) and then glue baby related items on them, such as a pacifier or safety pin. Attach a note to the invites, with the party details on it.

Football-Style Decorations: Super Bowl Decorations

Super bowl baby shower decorations can be as simple as confetti, balloons and streamers, but you should also get a baby shower diaper cake to serve as the centerpiece. Maybe you can even find one with football decorations all over it. (Learn how to make a diaper cake)

You should also get football-related table items for your baby shower. Serving trays, cups, and plates can be used for the party.

Super Delicious Treats: Super Bowl Baby Shower Party Food

If you attend a traditional Super Bowl party, the food is delicious, but not very classy. Pizza, burgers, chips and chicken wings are popular examples. To add a baby shower twist to these foods, why not include items such as applesauce, mashed potatoes and fruits and vegetables to the spread? Think of foods that babies eat or that reminds you of babies.

As for the drinks, you can still serve beer and other alcohol, but be careful not to let the mommy drink, since it’s bad for the baby.

A Super Fun Time: Super Bowl Baby Shower Games

Aside from watching the football game on TV, you should also prepare some enjoyable games of your own to play during the party. One fun example is the “Quarter Back” game. The rule of the game is that everyone watches the game in total silence. Anyone who yells or cheers has to drop a quarter in a piggy bank, which is then given as a gift to the baby.

Another game you can play is the “Receiving End” game. It’s a diaper-changing relay, but with one twist—the participants have to put on the nappy on a life-sized baby doll while watching the football game. Let the daddies play this game to practice this funny baby care routine.

Football Memories: Super Bowl Baby Shower Party Favors

You can’t let your guests leave without party favors to help them remember the event! Give them football-shaped soaps or candles. A baby figurine holding a football would also be a great giveaway. Another fun remembrance is to have the whole event videotaped and give them a copy. Of course, you’ll have to send these after the party.

 

Combining a Super Bowl celebration with a new baby’s arrival is definitely a wonderful and fun-filled idea. If you’re hosting a baby shower and it falls during the exciting football season, try this unique party theme. Your guests not only get to enjoy their favorite sport, but also get to celebrate the wonderful blessing the couple has received.

The best way to send your warmest greetings to a friend or relative who’s going to have a baby is by throwing a baby shower. It’s fun to have this type of party; the pregnant woman spends time with the people closest to her, and she receives gifts for her soon-to-be-born baby. That’s why when you heard about the pregnancy you immediately offered to arrange a baby shower.

One of the first things you’ll have to remember when you’re throwing a baby shower is the theme. There are numerous ideas out there you can choose, but of course, you need to find one that’s interesting, fun, and won’t be too hard to plan. Why not use a theme related to a baby item? A diaper baby shower theme would be a fantastic choice! Any mommy would be able to relate to this theme.

It’s easy to plan a baby shower, as long as you’re equipped with creativity and patience. Here are some tips to help you plan the perfect diaper shower party.

Cute Nappy Invites: Diaper Invitations

It would be nice if you could make homemade diaper invitations for the party. Use white construction paper, and cut out in the shape of a laid-out diaper. Then, print the party details on the inside. Afterwards, fold the paper, just like a diaper is folded up, and then secure it with a safety pin. It’s a very simple invitation your guests will love.

If you don’t have time to make diaper invitations, you can always check out those sold in party supply stores. If you’re lucky, you might find some in the shape of a diaper. If you’re not, you can always get the usual type. Just look for diaper decorations on the cover.

Dressing Up The Venue: Cute Diaper Decorations

Instead of the usual ribbon streamers, why not hang diaper decorations around the venue instead? Just get some nylon wire and string it through folded (unused!) diapers. Then, hang these up on your walls. For your tablecloths, find some with cute diaper prints on them. Lastly, don’t forget the party centerpiece: a diaper cake! It’s a tiered cake-like structure made entirely of diapers and other baby products. You can place this in the middle of the venue as a cute centerpiece. (Learn how to make a diaper cake)

Diaper Treats: Delicious Party Food

You can serve the usual sweet treats, such as cupcakes and cookies, but make sure you top them off with a diaper design made from frosting. Another fun idea is making “baby poop dip”. It’s a chip dip made from refried beans. Baby poop dip resembles actual poop, but it’s a delicious treat your guests will find amusing and enjoyable.

A No-Poop Party: Diaper Party Games

No party would be complete without fun activities, and for a diaper themed party, there are numerous games you can play. Pass The Dirty Diaper is an enjoyable example, where the guests have to pass around a diaper filled with “poop” (melted chocolate). When the music stops, the one holding the diaper is out of the game. Blindfold Diapering is another fun game, and it allows people to practice their diapering skills without looking!

Cute Giveaways: Diaper Party Favors

Don’t let your guests go home without party favors! You can get soaps or candles shaped like diapers (Why not create scented candles, read how to make scented candles). If you have the budget, diaper bags would be a useful and practical giveaway other mommies would appreciate.

A diaper baby shower party is a simple but enjoyable option a party planner can use. Try this out, and everyone will surely remember what a fun time they had at your party!
