For those mothers-to-be who are expecting in the spring or early-summer, an Easter-related theme might just be the perfect thing for a hostess to go with. If the baby shower is occurring prior to Easter, why not tie that holiday theme in with that of the baby shower. Decorating with Easter flair is not only appealing to the eye but easy as well.

Baby Shower Decorations
Using Easter as a theme for a baby shower is wonderful in many ways as it provides for a nice color scheme and happy connotation. The tables can be decorated with ceramic or actual painted Easter eggs and small rabbit figurines. Tulips which grace the center of each table really pull off the Easter theme as well. A baby shower sign in pastel colors can be hung at one end of the room and balloons in the same color pattern can be spread throughout the baby shower. A fun way to get the mom-to-be truly involved with the Easter theme is to purchase an Easter bonnet for her to wear or make an Easter bonnet for her out of the bows and ribbons after the gifts have been opened. As for a baby shower cake, a carrot cake with a rabbit design on top will be in perfect keeping with the theme of the party.

Easter Theme Baby Shower Games
A fun and thought-provoking game for the guest of honor and attendees to play at this Easter-themed baby shower is an Easter-oriented word search. The hostess will prepare a word search prior to the shower which contains hidden words that relate to Easter and/or babies as well. The winner of this game is the individual who has the most correct answers at the end. A prize with an Easter theme can be handed out to the winner.

A variation of the traditional board game of Pictionary, in this game the clues are formed in play-dough or clay. Two teams race to see who can guess what one team member has made before the other team guesses.

To set up the game, form into two teams. Each has a pile of play dough and either word cards from the Pictionary game or words made up by the host. When the timer starts, set for 30 seconds, then the selected team member starts forming the word. If the host wants to play, then have each team make up words that the other team has to form.

If making up your own words, you can use such items as, river, birdhouse, Texas, confetti, hemline, etc. Remember you are choosing words that may be picked for your team or the other team, so you don’t want them to be too easy or too difficult.

Frequently, a hostess who is responsible for throwing a baby shower wishes to stay away from the usual bear and bunny themes when preparing for a celebration of this type. A wonderful way to consider thematic options is to review what is popular with children at the moment. Whether on television or film, there are a number of theatrical characters which please children and are the perfect characters to use for a baby shower theme. One such group of characters which can be used is the Power Rangers.

Fun Decorations
Decorating with this theme in mind can be done for a guest of honor who is having either a boy or a girl. The hostess can pick and choose amongst a wide variety of color schemes as the Power Rangers are quite a colorful group. If the mom-to-be knows she is having a girl, why not stick with feminine colors such as pinks and purples. Alternatively, for the guest of honor with a baby boy on the way, the color scheme can feature more boyish colors such as blues and reds. Streamers can be spread throughout the room in varying colors depending upon the chosen color scheme and Power Rangers balloons can be scattered throughout the area. Power Rangers figures can be set at each table and on the gift table as well to really get the theme across.

Power Rangers Baby Shower Games
The Power Rangers theme can also be incorporated within the baby shower games. A baby shower word search can be constructed using the names of the Power Rangers as well as other items and concepts which relate to Power Rangers. The Clothespin Game can also be played with a Power Rangers twist. Everyone will receive a clothespin upon arrival to the shower and anyone who says Power Rangers will have their clothespin taken by the individual who heard the person say those two restricted words. The person with the most pins at the end of the shower wins a prize selected by the hostess.

By throwing a baby shower with a Power Rangers theme, not only is the hostess being unique in the way of baby shower themes but is incorporating a current phenomenon into a very special day.
