Neutral themes
often result in beautiful neutral gifts and nursery decor.
Neutral themes are best for baby showers where the parents do not know the baby's sex. This type of shower can be even more creative than gender-specific baby showers because you are not tied to the typical "pink for girls" and "blue for boys" idea. There are many gender-neutral themes to consider for your shower. Does this Spark an idea?
Noah's Ark
Plan a baby shower around the Bible story of Noah's Ark. Choose from the many party decorations that fit the Noah's Ark theme. If the parents-to-be are planning to decorate the nursery like Noah's Ark, purchase invitations with the theme and write in that Noah's Ark decor is the theme for the baby's room. This way, the parents should receive gifts that fit the room. There are several versions of Noah's Ark bedding and accessories available on the market.
Rubber Duckies
Plan a theme around rubber duckies and other bath-time items. Use rubber duckies as cake toppers and as table decor. Purchase balloons and banners with rubber duckies on them and hang them around the room. Tie the ends of helium balloons to baby bath towels and bottles of baby lotion or baby soap. Put your drinks on ice in a galvanized metal washtub. Give out rubber ducky key chains or tiny bars of scented soap as party favors.
Eco-Friendly Baby Shower
Center your shower decor, gifts and even invitations around saving resources and using eco-friendly materials. Send out invitations on recycled paper, and ask guests to purchase only organic and eco-friendly items. Decorate the party with houseplants rather than balloons, and use much-needed baby items such as bibs, bottles, pacifiers and diapers as part of the decor. Use the items to decorate a diaper cake centerpiece so that the new parents will use each item after the baby comes. This cuts down on waste as well as the budget for unnecessary paper banners and Mylar balloons. Serve organic snacks and desserts.
