Baby Me Baby Shower Party Decorations & Supplies

Ideas for hosting a "Baby Me" shower

• Over-sized plastic baby bottles full of candies and treats make a good decoration and finger food to have around the shower area. Fill the bottles with gummy bears to match the bears in the decorations, peeps to match the duck, and those fruity, pacifier shaped candies to match the Baby Me on the decorations. Jelly beans will also match the polka dot theme decorations quite nicely. Such a classic baby shower would be nothing without the customary diaper cake centerpiece. This cute and fun creation is not only a way to give the mom-to-be extra baby supplies, but also a way to tie in the some of the party games involving diapers jokes.
• A few quick and fun games to play for little prizes, which can be incorporated into the gift giving and/or decorations are: Hide baby-themed stickers throughout the party. Try putting them underneath plates, on chairs, and so on. Each person who finds one of the stickers gets a little prize.
• Fill a pillowcase with a collection of baby supplies - which will double as a gift for the mom-to-be. These supplies should include, but are not limited to: pacifiers, sporks, bibs and small toys like Fisher Price keys or stuffed animals. Everyone gets to feel the pillowcase for 1 minute without looking and guess its contents. The closest guess wins a little prize.
• The last game involves a water melon - which triples as a game piece, a snack, and an parallel for the mom-to-be’s tummy. Each guest gets a chance to change the watermelon’s diaper with oven mits on. The guest to do it the fastest wins a prize!
• To go along with this Baby Me theme, pastel-colored round treats are the best. Cake-pops, melon balls, and cream puffs should be the sweetest of treats in your spread. For more savory courses, look into serving a variety of rich colored soups like carrot soup, avacado soup, and a sweet pink soup like raspberry. Sitting in a white bowl they’ll look like polka dots. Plus soups are light, healthy, and fun to sample with a classy bread and cheese spread.
• For your main course, something fun and flexible like a make your own pasta bar featuring red sauce, Alfredo sauce, and pesto with roasted veggies, chicken or meatballs. Pasta is tasty and filling and goes well with soup.
• A classic baby shower may seem boring on the surface, but with the right games, treats, and decorations, nothing could be classier. Watching a funny parenting movie like “Look Who’s Talking,” or “Baby Mama” may also be a fun activity to go with this more subtle baby shower theme. The mom-to-be for whom the shower is being held will have fun feeling retro and stylish in this artistic and understated party theme.
