| Ok ladies, you've been given the honor (or | | | | can be used as a centerpiece for the gift table or |
| punishment) of throwing the Baby Shower and | | | | the head table at the event or , they are a great |
| maybe you do not even have any children of | | | | piece to place at the entryway to greet your |
| your own, have never been pregnant and you're | | | | guests and immediately introduce them to the |
| completely lost and frantic about how to get | | | | party's theme! Select a cake designer that can |
| started because the only thing that you know | | | | work with you to meet your theme's needs or |
| about a Baby Shower is that the expectant mom | | | | construct your own cake to match your Shower |
| is supposed to open a bunch of gifts while | | | | theme. Creative diaper bakeries can match a |
| everyone sits around "oohing and aweing"! | | | | cake to even the most unusual or unique Baby |
| Sound like you? Take a deep breath; the first | | | | Shower theme. |
| step to planning the perfect shower for your | | | | One of the things that I like best about planning a |
| expectant loved one is to select a Shower theme! | | | | Shower around a theme is that it can allow you |
| A theme gives you an idea to revolve everything | | | | stray from the boring "baby everything" mentality |
| else around and can make all of the little details of | | | | of Showers. For instance, if the theme is |
| planning the Shower just seem to fall into place. | | | | Cowboys or Ballerinas, you could plan a trivia |
| When planning any event, committing to a theme | | | | game that revolves around famous western |
| gives you a base for your planning. If you're | | | | movies or famous musicals or dances rather than |
| reluctant to select a theme because you think | | | | making every game and activity just about the |
| that you'll have difficulty finding products | | | | baby. After all, the guests at the event are |
| (invitations, centerpieces, games, balloons, | | | | typically all adults, right? |
| decorations, etc.) that match your theme, don't | | | | Here are just a few simple theme ideas to get |
| sweat it. It's much easier to have a theme that | | | | your creative juices flowing: |
| you stray from here and there than not to have | | | | - Noah's Ark |
| a theme at all and to wander aimlessly through | | | | - Safari |
| the planning process. | | | | - Circus |
| Discuss theme ideas with your mom-to-be. Select | | | | - Peter Rabbit (or any classic or favorite story |
| something that will be fun, entertaining and that is | | | | book) |
| in-line with mom's personality and passion. Maybe | | | | - Jungle |
| even something that will match the nursery | | | | - Teddy Bears |
| theme (by the way, "pink" is not a theme, it's a | | | | - Sports |
| color. You'll need to be more creative than that). | | | | - Princess or Fairy Tale |
| Once you've selected your theme, start thinking | | | | - Beach |
| about how you can incorporate it into games, | | | | - Ballerina |
| activities and decorations throughout the event. | | | | - Cowboy/Cowgirl |
| You'll be amazed how easily things start to fall into | | | | - Doctor/Fireman or any other occupation that |
| place! | | | | you'd like the new baby to consider! |
| As a diaper cake Designer myself, of course I'm | | | | Remember to have fun with it, be unique and |
| going to also suggest that you build or order a | | | | creative and don't get discouraged! |
| diaper cake to match your theme. Diaper cakes | | | | |
