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.

There are a multitude of different themes which a hostess may select from when finding the perfect theme for a baby shower. Along with the usual themes such as teddy bears and bunnies, there are the more unique themes like celestial and jungle animals. However, a hostess may sometimes overlook a baby shower theme which is related to the most important of all types of children’s television shows…the cartoon. One cartoon in particular which captivates children of all ages and sets the perfect stage for a spectacular baby shower is Scooby Doo.
Decorating with Scooby Doo Style
Scooby Doo has been around for a long time which makes decorating for a baby shower of this type a snap. Because the hostess most likely is familiar with Scooby Doo as opposed to more recent children’s shows such as the Boohbahs, it makes it much easier on the hostess when selecting decorations. Each table can be decorated in a style which is keeping with individual characters of Scooby Doo. For example, one table can be the Shaggy table while another table can be the Velma table. In keeping with each character table, the hostess can decorate each table using colors which are associated with their character. A Mylar balloon which has a picture of the character can be attached to a floral centerpiece in the center of each respective table. A cake which has either all of the Scooby Doo characters or just Scooby Doo himself can be prepared for the party. As for invitations, the hostess may choose to obtain and send out Scooby Doo invitations or even general theme invitations if she doesn’t want to go overboard.
Scooby Doo Baby Shower Games
Baby shower games are a great way to liven up the crowd and propel individual interaction amongst others. Should the hostess choose to stick with the Scooby Doo theme from start to finish, including the baby shower games, there are a few word games which can be constructed by the hostess quite easily. A word search is always fun and gets the crowd to think a little bit while having a good time. The hostess can hide Scooby Doo related terms in a word search format and the guest with the most correct answers in the time allotted wins a prize. The hostess may also choose to do a Scooby Doo crossword puzzle whereby the guests would need to answer the clues in order to adequately solve the puzzle and win.
Scooby Doo is the perfect theme for a baby shower and is one which will be recognized by most and appreciated by all.

For those baby showers which are being held in March and honoring the arrival of a new baby boy or girl of Irish heritage, what better theme to use for a baby shower of this type than one with an Irish twist to it. As St. Patrick’s Day arrives mid-March each year, if a hostess is looking for the perfect theme for a baby shower which is being held around this time, an Irish themed party might just be the best bet.
Decorating with White and Green
There are many ways to pull off an Irish-themed baby shower. Some simple items to keep in mind include Shamrocks and green and white decorations. Decorating the room with white and green streamers and balloons will create a real feel for a theme of this type. Additionally, floral arrangements can be positioned at each table and perhaps in the middle of the food table which have a green and white overtone to them. Placing a sparkling shamrock in the middle of each arrangement will also help with furthering this type of baby shower theme. If the hostess wishes to get a St. Patrick’s Day prop for the Mom-to-be to wear, a nice green felt hat would be the perfect thing to add a little fun to the party. As for party favors, the hostess can provide shamrock candles or scented soaps to take home with them.
Shamrock Games
One fun game which can be played at the baby shower is a version of the Clothespin Game, called Shamrock. When each guest arrives to the party they are given a clothespin to attach to their clothing. If anyone says the word “shamrock” throughout the entire baby shower, the person who heard someone say it gets to take that person’s clothespin. The guest who has the most pins at the end of the game wins a prize, preferably Shamrock-related.

When one hears the word summer mentioned, they are sure to think of sun and fun at the beach. For this reason, what better theme to use for a baby shower that takes place in the summertime than a beach theme. There are so many ways in which the hostess of a baby shower can pull off this theme and make it nothing short of fantastic.
Decorations Which Make the Attendees Feel Like They Are at the Beach
There are so many different directions in which a hostess can go when decorating with a beach theme in mind. If she wants to go full force and the place where the room is reserved allows it, why not try to obtain some sand and place the sand in various areas throughout the room. The color scheme of a baby shower of this type can be blues, whites, and yellows with a little red thrown into the mix as well. A big sun cutout can be placed on one of the walls and beach chairs can replace either all or simply the mother-to-be’s chair in the room. Another fun way to bring out the beach theme is to have sunglasses and/or sun visors as party favors for the baby shower guests to take home with them and even wear at the shower to really get into the mood of the beach theme. A baby shower cake with little beach umbrellas and beach chairs placed on it will impress all who see it.
Games with a Beach-oriented Theme
There are a number of usual baby shower games which can be played with a beach theme twist to them. The first is a baby shower word search which, instead of having baby terms for the guests to find, it will have beach-related terms within the puzzle, such as sun, ocean, seagull, etc. Another fun baby shower game which is often played is the Clothespin Game where the guests are given clothespins to put on when they arrive and usually if they say “Baby” the other person takes their clothespin. However, at this type of baby shower, anyone who says “beach” will have their clothespin taken away. The one guest at the end with the most clothespins wins a prize.
