List of Baby Shower Themes - Over 60 Inspirational Themes to Celebrate Your Baby on the Way

Find the Perfect Baby Shower Theme to Welcome You Little One on the Way
We all have those moments, when you just can't think of a perfect theme for your upcoming baby shower, or need some inspiration to figure out the look for your best gal pal who's about to pop. Here's a huge list of over 60+ Baby Shower themes sure to get you inspired and ready to start planning that special celebration for the new mom-to-be:

A Star is Born - You can already tell your little one will head to the silver screen! Throw a Hollywood style baby shower fit for any new star. This theme is easily adaptable to the red carpet look, or vintage-style Hollywood glam.

Alphabet - An Alphabet shower is the perfect place to start off your parenting experience. Vintage wooden ABC blocks, or ABC cards are an easy start to a look for this shower. Or, if you'd like to be creative, assign your guests a letter (between A-Z) and have the bring a baby gift that starts with that letter.

Around the Clock Baby Shower - As a new parent will soon learn, babies need things around the clock, so assign an hour of the day (and night) to each guest and be ready when ever the little one may be up!

Baby on the Move - Babies these days are sure on the move, even well before they learn to crawl. This shower is the perfect way to help the new parents stock up on things that will keep the baby on the move-- from strollers to front packs, diaper bags to portable cribs. New parents may not want to slow down once the new one arrives, and this shower will keep them going!

Baby Sprinkle - A baby sprinkle is a term used for a "light" shower. It's perfect for the mom who's about to have her 2nd, 3rd or even 4th child, and needs a little celebration, or a great way to celebrate a new one for the mom who doesn't want a big "fuss." The theme can be used year round, but if you want to play on the word sprinkle, get out your umbrella and host this in the Spring when sprinkles may be in the forecast!

Blankies and Bedtime - This theme is the perfect lullaby for any baby to be. Have guests bring gifts associated with bedtime and the nursery like a soft blankie, traditional bedtime story, sweet teddy bear, bedding and more.

Bun in the Oven - Here's the perfect shower for those who like to bake. Spread out a bunch of home baked goodies and shower the mom-to-be and her bun in the oven with gifts, treats and all those things a new mom will need in the kitchen with her baby: bottles, food mashers, bibs, high chair, baby spoons, and more.

Bundle of Joy - The perfect baby shower theme for those cold months when everyone wants to bundle up. Have guests bring soft blankets, baby quilts, winter clothes, hats and more that will help keep the little one warm and toasty.

Pixies and Pirates or Mermaids and Pirates - Playful Alternatives to a Pirate Party Theme

Pixies and Pirates Party Invitation & Mermaids and Pirates Party Invitation by B.Nute productions
Your little one is begging for a pirate party theme but you're thinking the Pirates of Caribbean look may be a bit much. Or, perhaps, your rough and tumble girl loves pirates, but is also partial to a bit more girly theme too. Here are 2 great pirate party theme alternatives that are perfect for these scenarios and more-- a Pixies & Pirate Party and a Mermaids & Pirate Party.

Pixies and Pirate Party
A Pixies and Pirates Party is the happy marriage of a fairy theme and a pirate theme with a dash of Peter Pan's magical Neverland world. Tinkerbell and all her pixie friends always loved a little tussle with pirates every now and again, and this theme is the perfect blend of both fairy magic and fearless pirate fun. Check out this book below for some visual inspiration and party ideas:
In the Realm of the Never Fairies by Monique Peterson on Amazon.com
Mermaids and Pirates Party
For this party theme, just blend a mermaid theme with a pirate theme and sprinkle with a bit of the Little Mermaid to add pizazz! Pirates and Mermaids both love the sea-- although some are underneath the sea and some are above. Playing off these themes, your Mermaids and Pirates Party can be filled with hidden under water grottos, sunken treasures, secret sea shells and pirate mischief. Below is wonderful book for mermaid inspiration:
The Mermaid's Treasure by Stephanie True Peters on Amazon.com
Note: For Pirate inspiration, be sure to see all my Pirate Party ideas on this blog - from games, entertainment, food ideas and more.

The Party Girl's Library: Party Book Review- "Great Parties for Kids" by Rose Hammick and Charlotte Packer

Great Parties for Kids by Rose Hammick and Charlotte Packer on Amazon
"Great Parties for Kids: Fabulous and Creative Ideas for Children Aged 0-10" by Rose Hammick and Charlotte Packer is without a doubt a must have for all party girls' libraries! Although many of the party themes are tried and true, the ideas surrounding these themes are incredibly creative. Also, the photos are stunning. Just looking at them without reading any text will get your mind flowing with many ideas.

Besides the great photos and creative ideas, the one thing that is most attractive to me about this book is that the parties have an element of "home made" that make them realistic and doable. They don't appear so high-end, or expensive, that when you look at it, you can't fathom how you'd ever put that party together, let alone be able to afford it! These parties are creative and achievable.

The book is broken down by age-- parties for 1-2 year olds, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-10 year olds. Here is a quick summary of the parties that stand out in this book:

Under the Sea Party - Ooo, the turquoises and greens and the little ones dressed as mermaids and sea creatures, perfect! The "coral" Queen of the Sea crown just adds to the touch.

Pirate Party - The jungle gym in the backyard decorated as the pirate ship is brilliant. Looks like an afternoon of fun!

Wild West Party - There's nothing like a Wild West party filled with red and white checks, teepees, saloon doors, a sheriff's hut, cowboys and squaws! Everyone will have a blast at this western gathering.

Gangsters and Molls - A Flapper filled, 1920's gangster party- filled with urban art deco appeal, and kid flair. The sundae bar looks messy and delicious, just how it should be!

There are several more outstanding party ideas in this book, as well as plenty of recipes. Your Party Girl library just won't be complete without this book, so head out and get it now.

Under the Sea Party: Game Ideas

Throwing an enchanted Under the Sea Party? Looking for ideas on how to entertain the crowd? Look no further! Here are a bunch of game ideas perfect to get those little mermaids and fish tired out!

Under the Sea Party Games
Fish for Treasure
I remember this game from my elementary school fair way back when! How fun it was to see what I would "catch" on my fishing rod! To play this game, all you need is a tub/large box or container, some pretend fishing rods, toys and magnets, and there you'll have your very own fishing hole!

Create some simple fishing rods with long sticks and a sting tied to the end. At the end of the string, tie a magnet. Now attach another magnet to a small toy. Fill a large tub (i.e., plastic container, or cardboard box) with all the small toys with magnets. Have children line up and fish for a toy!

Jelly Fish Relay
Set up an obstacle course around your yard, park or party space. Make the obstacles that are part of the course named after areas in the sea, such as: a coral field - a bunch of chairs that they need to zig zag through; an underwater cave - a play tube the kids need to crawl though; the deep abyss - a fold up table the kids need to crawl under; a jelly fish swarm - hang many crepe paper strings from the ceiling or branches of a tree that they have to "swim" through; the tide pools - put out a kiddie pool with only an inch of water in it that they need to skip through; etc. Have fun with the areas and ideas. Now simply line the kids up and have them run through the course!

Shell Hunt
Think how much fun kids have on Easter for an Easter egg hunt. Why not use the same concept, and just replace eggs with shells. The kids will love to gather the shells, and have them keep them as part of another craft or a goodie bag gift.

King Neptune Says
Here's a spin on Simon Says... same rules, just make Simon into King Neptune. If you can find a crown, a turquoise cape, and Neptune's trident for the "new" Simon, even better!

Under Water Dress Ups
Kids love dress ups, so why not set out a box of Under the Sea dress ups for the kids to put on and have fun. Here are ideas on what to put in the box:

  • King Neptune's Crown
  • Mermaid Crowns
  • King Neptune's Trident
  • Mermaid tails (perhaps this can be as easy at simple green sequin skirts with elastic waists.)
  • Mermaid bikini tops
  • Shell Accessories (necklaces, hair clips, etc)
  • Fish Masks

Under the Sea Party: Decoration Ideas, Menu Ideas and More...

Under the Sea Party Inspiration Board
including Under the Sea Party Invitation by B.Nute productions
Dive into a magical underwater world filled with colorful fish, shells, dancing jelly fish and mermaids too.. welcome to your dreamy Under the Sea Party! Below are some decoration ideas and more for your enchanted affair, all will adore.

Decoration Ideas
Water - Of course an Under the Sea Party needs water-- but who is willing to flood their living room with water? No need to go to those lengths, just head out to your local party store and pick up some rolls of blue and green cellophane. Now, have fun decorating. Cover the windows with the cellophane, or crumple up large pieces and cut into long strips and hang from the doorway or ceiling. Guests will have to wade through the space, and love it!

Another great water accent is to fill glass fish bowls with fish (real or pretend aquarium fish) and set out on the buffet table or dining table.

Sand - Fill a kiddie swim pool with play sand, and set outside for some fun playtime. If you'd like to use sand as an accent, fill in small glass bowls or vases with a couple shells and put on the buffet for a great look.

Sea Shells - There are several places on the internet to find sea shells to decorate your space. Check out Oriental Trading for inexpensive shell decorations. Place shells in glass vases with sand, or just scatter about the buffet table and party space. A shell garland to string up is perfect as well.

Seaweed - Cut out large green seaweed shaped from construction paper, and place around the party space. Also, hang green crepe paper strips from the ceiling for more seaweed the guests can "swim" through!

Bubbles - Cut long, single row strips of bubble wrap and hang from the ceiling for more aquarium fun. Another way to add bubbles is by having a bubble machine in the corner blowing out loads of bubble at the party goers. All little ones love bubbles!

Fish and a Fish Net - Purchase a fish net and hang from the ceiling. Now dangle decorative paper fish from fishing wire from the net. Your space is now truly becoming an underwater scene!

Vintage Maritime and Seaside Imagery - Old seaside imagery would be perfect to frame in a weathered wood frame and put next to the buffet table.

Shabby Chic/Weathered Accents - This party is the perfect time to get out those Shabby Chic furniture pieces to use to serve food or put goodie bags on. A weathered wood tray or crate would be great to put drinks or other food items in for folks to grab and go.

Menu Ideas
Below is a list of food ideas perfect for an Under the Sea Party

  • Fish Sticks
  • Tuna Sandwiches
  • Sushi
  • Small Sandwiches Cut Out in Fish Shapes
  • Gold Fish Crackers
  • Under the Sea Treasure Snack Mix (Salty/Sweet Cereal Mix)

By the Boardwalk Treats

  • Salt Water Taffy
  • Extra Large Lollipops
  • Pink Popcorn Balls
  • Pink Cotton Candy

Happy Party Planning!
