Choosing A Theme For Your Baby Shower

People who are organizing their first baby shower may feel at a loss over exactly how to get started. With so many different considerations to make in the course of party planning, an ideal shower may feel like an unattainable goal for some timid first-timers. If you are a party organizer having trouble coming up with ideas, then maybe you should consider using baby shower themes.
Themed showers are becoming a trend among pregnant women today. They are fun and memorable ways to celebrate the arrival of a new baby boy or girl. Creative hosts can come up with their own shower themes. You can even get your own ideas for themes by taking a page from the expectant mother's own hobbies or interests. Some party suppliers may also offer prepackaged themes that are easy to set up if you prefer those.
With today's large variety of baby shower themes to choose from, you may have trouble settling on just one. Whatever theme you eventually decide upon, you must resist the temptation to bite off more than you can chew. An overly ambitious or elaborate theme can be laborious or time-consuming to set up, especially if specific supplies or props are required. When planning a party, you must always allow some 'wriggle' room in the event that things do not go according to plan. If you can, choose a theme that you can easily carry out in broad strokes. A classic theme with wide appeal can work best for your purposes.

One of the easiest and most affordable themes you can go for are color-based motifs. A shower bedecked in a basic, timeless color can add a touch of both unity and elegance to the proceedings. With the right choice of streamers, balloons, and other colored decorations, you can easily establish a lively party ambiance. You can choose between a classic pink or blue motif if you know the gender of the child. You can also use classic white, the expectant mother's favorite color, or even two to three combinations of different colors.
You can also get theme ideas from the guest of honor herself. One must never forget that the baby shower is intended to put the mother and her child at the center of attention. Since it is her time to shine, it is vital for you to choose a theme that would appeal to her sensibilities. If the baby shower is going to be patterned after a theme close to her heart, then it is even better.
Some of the most imaginative ideas for baby shower themes don't just influence how the decorations will be done. They can also dictate the choice of games, gifts and food choices at the party. If the mother-to-be is an animal lover, for example, hosts can opt for a jungle-themed baby shower full of animal-centric games. If she is a voracious reader, guests can give children-oriented books as gifts. Other whimsical ideas for baby showers can include costume contests, disco-themed dance-offs and geeky movie marathons.
