It's springtime, which means you may be ready to start planning baby showers. Along with hosting a baby shower, comes all the adorable themes that you have to pick from. There are great ones for boys and girls or neutral genders with various themes. What exactly are some great baby shower themes if the parents want to be surprised on their baby's gender? Don't get discouraged on not being able to go with a boy, girl, pink or blue shower. Wedding and Party Network has an adorable baby shower theme that is great for any gender and any mom will love!
So, what's this adorable theme? A charming honey bee baby shower is great for everyone and there are fun little details that go along with it. It's all in the details and how you make this shower stand out to make it a success.
Baby Shower Invitations – For any type of invitation, the guests immediately get the feel of what type of even it will be. There are lots of cute sayings that you can put on this party invitation like, "B is for baby" or "Mommy to bee". Just get creative and play off the word bee. Of course, the colors yellow and black are essential on the shower invitation.
Black & Yellow Party Decorations – When you think of bees, you think of them being black and yellow. Therefore, if you're going with this theme, these two colors are a definite must. Make the main focus yellow, since black seems a bit dreary and just add pops of color of black and even gray to the yellow.
For the tablecloths, get yellow and maybe do a black and white polka-dotted table runner. Accent the gift table, food table and anything else you would like with fun floral centerpieces. Be sure to talk with your florist, tell them the theme and they'll definitely come up with great arrangements fit for the shower. Flowers will be an intricate part of your decor, especially since bees love flowers. Also, you can hang adorable bees, paper lanterns and yarn poms from the ceiling. For this shower, party decor should be kept to a minimal. What you will have though will absolutely be perfect.
Shower Party Food – Keep the food light and refreshing, especially if it's during spring or summer. Of course, create a refreshing fruit and vegetable tray with what's in season, tea sandwiches, pasta salad, mini grilled cheese sandwiches, bumble bee cupcakes, shower cake or you can even go with a brunch theme. Keep with appetizers you know everyone will enjoy and especially the mother-to-be. You can even get with your caterer to come up with unique food to serve.
Also, don't forget about the presentation. It's definitely a big part of any shower. Serve the food at varying heights, have fun platters and even create adorable bee toppers to place in the cupcakes and sandwiches. Even have little bumble bees spread throughout the food to add a unique touch.
Shower Activities – Of course, with every shower comes the fun and games. However, not everyone enjoys the games. So, for something different, set up a table where guests can decorate onesies for the baby. It's easy to decorate onesies, even if they aren't creative. Just set out different iron on sets, fabric, puff paint and even beads and sequins to glue on the onesies. Once the guests are done, hang them from a clothes line for all to see.
This baby shower theme is great for any gender and especially if the parents are waiting to find out what the gender is going to be.
