Barnyard Bash Baby Shower Decorations

Tips s & Ideas for a Farm Animal & Barnyard Baby Shower

Don’t miss these tips on how to pull off the best barnyard bash baby shower:

• When decorating for your Barnyard Bash baby shower, set up picnic tables and hay bales for seating in the backyard or, if the shower will be held indoors, cover your table with a red and white checkered or black and white polka-dotted table cover. Scatter stuffed barnyard animals, garden tools and toy tractors around your party space. Set out polka dotted plates and napkins mixed with bright solid colors and use hay or raffia to roll and secure silverware and napkins. If you have a scarecrow, bring him out for the party! Make a music playlist of country western or square dancing tunes.
• When guests arrive, instead of pinning on a corsage or nametag, use bandanas! Fold the bandana once to make a triangle, point facing down. Write the name of each guest with a fabric marker and then tie around his or her neck. Crown the guest of honor with a cowboy hat. Decorate the brim with baby socks and pacifiers.
• For party food, start with an appetizer of pigs-in-a-blanket or chips and guacamole. For your main dish you can’t beat a barbeque, cookout, pulled pork or fried chicken. Don’t forget the cornbread, coleslaw and baked beans. Keep novelty sodas cold in galvanized steel basins filled with ice or serve iced tea and punch out of mason jars. For dessert do root beer floats, cupcakes decorated like farm animals, candied apples, or s’mores.
• Fill barnyard bash polka dotted cello treat bags with favors for your guests. Include: trail mix, animal crackers, chex mix or farm-themed candies. For more favors and prizes that incorporate your barnyard bash theme, give out small jars of homemade jams or pickles, galvanized buckets filled with gourmet snacks, hand garden tools, or packets of seeds.
• Get your guests involved at your barnyard bash with a few farm-themed games. Provide classic baby shower games, like the memory tray game a farm twist by loading up your tray with toy tractors, animal figures, seeds and small tools. Give the guests a few minutes to remember the contents and then take the tray away and see who can remember the most items. If you have a fun-loving crowd, separate the group into two teams and play barnyard charades. Write farm animals and farm activities on cards. Have the guests pick and then try to act out for their team. The team that guesses the most right answers wins. A farm trivia quiz is also a great indoor game. And don’t forget Pin The Tail On The Donkey!
