Baby Shower Ideas on Themes, Gifts and More

Your best friend is pregnant. You are planning to give her the best baby shower and want to make it very memorable for her. Listed below are some ideas about what themes to choose, the gifts and goodies to buy, to make it an unforgettable experience for your friend. The ideas mentioned below have been tried, tested and liked many moms as well as moms-to-be.

1. Choose a theme for the day. The theme can range from fairy tales, to books to diapers to frozen and packed food. If the name of the baby has been decided then incorporate them in all the elements of the theme. If you are going with a diaper theme then you can send an invite to all asking them to walking with a hamper containing a diaper pack. You won’t have to worry about what to buy and the mom-to-be will have enough diapers that last at least for a few months.

2. Yet another fun theme would be “everyone-with-a-bump”, where each guest arrives with a pseudo bump stuffing cushions giving them a ready-to-pop look. This idea will make the mom-to-be at ease and she will not feel out of place, well at least physically! Also hand out wishes-for-the-baby forms where in each guest pens down some wishes for the soon-to-arrive baby.

3. You can also have the guests to pen down on the ‘advice for mom to be’ form that might be helpful for the mom-to-be.

4. It would be a good thing to concentrate on what you will gift your friend for the baby shower if there is no theme involved. The safest bet would be in buying clothes for the yet-to-be-born baby. Stuffed toys, baby beds and feeding bottles too are safe buys because it will be very useful for the family once the baby has arrived.

Let your creativity take the lead. Just keep it simple but memorable!
