Your baby shower theme will depend greatly on how much time you have to plan it, the number of people you plan on inviting, the allotted budget for the event and how much help you have to put things together. It's important to remember that even though the shower is a way for you, your friends and your family to celebrate your baby's imminent arrival: It's also a traditional party that's put together mainly for all involved to give gifts that will help you save on the essentials you and your spouse will need to care for your baby. It's important for you to give your guests a gift to take with them commemorating the shower, but don't unnecessarily break your bank by purchasing elaborate gifts so you don't feel cheap around your guests. Baby Shower Theme Decorations Balloons This is where you can use creativity and simplicity to make your setting fun for guests, while still letting everyone know they're at a baby shower. Balloons are a great decoration for any party; and for your baby shower you can decorate with traditional male/female colors. If you know the sex of your baby, then go with blues and purples for boys, or pink, red and white for girls. If the baby's sex is going to be left as a surprise when you give birth, then go for a mixture of everything -- or use your imagination. Don't be afraid to ask family for help inflating and hanging them. Paper Cutouts Decorative cutouts of baby bottles, rattles, soothers, etc are all great additions to your baby shower theme along with affordable stuffed toys of any kind (these can later be given to your baby when they arrive). Flowers Flowers might seem obvious and perhaps an expensive option: However, remember this is a baby shower and not a wedding. You can use daisies, lilacs, and other wildflowers to add a fresh aroma to the shower while keeping on budget. Banners Almost any baby shower theme will include a decorative banner: “It's a boy/girl” is a standard one. You can also get creative and integrate your baby's name into the banner if you've already chosen one E.g., “(Baby's name) Welcome to the world.” Keep Things Simple Whatever you choose, remember to keep things easy, fun, cute and affordable.
