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.

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.

SpongeBob SquarePants is an entertaining character which many children love these days. For this reason, what better theme to have for a party celebrating the future arrival of a little one than SpongeBob SquarePants?

Decorations with SpongeBob in Mind
One of the attractive things about utilizing a SpongeBob SquarePants theme for a baby shower is that it is gender neutral and will suit a baby shower which is being thrown for the mother-to-be of either a baby boy or baby girl. When decorating with this theme in mind, specific colors which will really bring out the SpongeBob character are blues, greens, yellows, and reds. A SpongeBob SquarePants centerpiece can be placed in the middle of a nice flower arrangement on each table throughout the room. A nice baby shower sign can be hung on the wall which features the complimentary colors used throughout the room. To mark the guest of honor’s chair, a Mylar SpongeBob SquarePants balloon can be tied to her chair and the chair can even be draped with a nice yellow chair cover or cushion to really bring out the “Reserved” aspect for the guest of honor.

Fun Games to Play
An entertaining baby shower game which can be played that not only the guests but the mother-to-be will enjoy as well is the Name That Food game. The hostess will provide 12 different jars of baby food with the labels removed but marked with numbers from 1 to 12. Each guest will need to take a sample of each jarred food and write down what they believe each food jar contains. The person with the most correct answers wins a prize that has a SpongeBob theme to it, such as SpongeBob-shaped soap, or a prize with coordinating SpongeBob colors, such as a yellow and red photo album. The clothespin game is also fun to play at baby showers. With regard to this theme, whoever says “SpongeBob” throughout the baby shower gets their clothespin taken away and the one with the most clothespins at the end of the shower wins a prize.

Whenever anybody thinks about fall, they usually picture pumpkins in their mind. When a mom-to-be is expecting a baby during the fall or shortly thereafter, there is no better theme which is seasonal and unique as well than one which favors pumpkins as its featured topic. There are so many ways to tie in a pumpkin theme to make a fall baby shower simply wonderful.

Decorating With the Pumpkin Theme in Mind
Pumpkins are great centerpiece materials for decorating a table. If the hostess wishes to use flowers for centerpieces, floral arrangements can be placed on each table and little pumpkins can surround the centerpiece. A wonderful way to bring out the fall-like feel to the baby shower is to have orange napkins with festive fall napkin ring holders. For the party favors, why not try individual votive candle holders with pumpkin spice candles in them. The holders can be as plain or as jazzy as the hostess likes. Orange, yellow, and white balloons make for an even more festive fall atmosphere for this very special occasion.

Pumpkin Games
A fun baby shower game to play which has a pumpkin theme twist to it is Draw the Baby. Guests have to draw a picture of a baby on little pumpkins which the hostess hands out to them. The mother-to-be will then judge the pumpkins and decide which one she likes the best. In order to make it anonymous, the guests should write their initials on the bottom of their pumpkin. The winner of the game wins a prize.

Fall is a great time to have a baby shower and the possibilities are unlimited when it comes to what a hostess may do to make the fall-themed shower a success.

During the month of December, many individuals are busy getting into the Christmas spirit. For those mothers-to-be who are expecting a child in January or February, their baby shower may indeed be celebrated in December. What better way to get into the Christmas spirit and celebrate the future arrival of a new baby boy or girl than have a Christmas-oriented baby shower?

Decorate with Christmas Flair
There are so many decorative ideas which can make a Christmas-inspired baby shower simply perfect. Poinsettias make wonderful centerpieces and accents for around the room when it comes to a Christmas style baby shower. A great idea with regard to guest party favors is to purchase Christmas ornaments which have the name of the mother-to-be on them and the date of the baby shower, along with any other pertinent information the hostess wishes to include. The color scheme which can be used for a baby shower with this type of theme is red and green, of course. If the hostess wishes to dress it up a little, throwing in some gold and/or silver decorations will make the room look a bit flashier.

Baby Shower Games
One particular baby shower game which can have a Christmas overtone to it is the Possible Baby Name Game. With this game, the hostess will prepare sheets of paper with CHRISTMAS listed vertically down the left-hand side of the page. The guests and mother-to-be will have 5-10 minutes to list both a boy and girl name for each letter of the word. The individual with the most answers in common with the mother-to-be wins a prize. Prizes for baby shower games can be centerpieces, Christmas angel figurines, or even ceramic ornaments.
