For some people, putting together a baby shower comes quite naturally. This is especially true if the host has lots of time and already has some idea of how they want the party to unfold. In a case like this a themed party can be a lot of fun, for example a safari themed baby shower. Some people may think that a theme like this is only good for boys, but this is not the case.
What You Need for a Safari Themed Baby Shower
Baby showers are often easier to organize with a definite theme. There are even stores that cater to themed parties for children and even baby showers. A safari themed baby shower has staple decorations and props that make the party safari themed when the guests see it.
Animals like lions and elephants are sure signs of a safari themed baby shower and they can be integrated into many aspects of the party. Guests can be asked to wear hats with cardboard cut-outs of the animals glued onto them, and the animals can even be part of the baby shower cake design. Even the invitations can speak of a safari themed baby shower by being in the shape of an elephant.
Other ideas for a safari themed baby shower invitation are graphics of other jungle animals, native spears and shields, tropical leaves and flowers, and many other safari icons. The invitations can also be written with safari-styled phrasing and terminology to make it more in keeping of the safari themed baby shower. Think 1880s, “great white hunter,” “Doctor Watson, I presume” stereotypically stiff British speaking. Even the food can be inclined to African or tropical foods for the safari themed baby shower.
The games that you might want to have during the safari themed baby shower can also share with the theme. There are many basic games that can be turned to safari style games by just substituting the items used with jungle themes.
Party decorations can be lions, tigers, elephants, even fake potted “jungle” plants scattered around the venue. These can be made from cardboard and easily stuck on the walls of the venue. Table centerpieces can be real tropical plants that can be obtained from florists or garden shops. Others ideas for a table centerpiece for your jungle themed baby shower are a cardboard “native” either standing or riding an elephant.
Having a theme for a baby shower immensely adds to the excitement and fun of the party. A jungle theme can be great fun because there are so many possibilities for invitations, games, and decorations.
