The hardest part is coming up with a fun and festive theme where gender doesn&rsquo;t always matter. Here are some of my ideas for a fun baby shower theme:<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b style=\"line-height: normal\">Fiesta<\/b><\/h2><p>It isn&rsquo;t a real party until you have a pi&ntilde;ata! Having a fiesta-themed party is a great way to celebrate the new baby coming into the world. Appetizers like chips and salsa are easy to prepare and you can serve food in the form of a taco or burrito bar.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Decorate the house with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/179014811\/papel-picado-mexican-papel-picado-party\">papel picado<\/a>, sombreros and fun and funky colors.&nbsp;As far as favors for your fiesta themed party go, you can give out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/210975482\/mini-pinatas-cinco-de-mayo-fiestas\">mini pi&ntilde;atas<\/a> (pictured below) with candy or other treats inside of them. They are sweet little keepsakes that match your theme perfectly.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.kinsights.com\/content\/images\/melindamckee-201543091143903415.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-woodland-creatures\">Woodland Creatures<\/h2><p>Who doesn&rsquo;t love woodland creatures? If you&rsquo;re totally in love with woodland creatures, it&rsquo;s a great way to get props and items for your baby&rsquo;s nursery while decorating a fun baby shower.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Everyone at the shower can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/214917043\/woodland-wild-animals-nature-theme\">dress up like a different woodland creature<\/a>, and you can have a fun paradise of your own for your shower.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.kinsights.com\/content\/images\/melindamckee-201548091148558289.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-diy\">DIY<\/h2><p>While this may not sound like a theme, it actually can be a lot of fun. Decorate your entire space with different craft stations for babies. For example, you can have a station where you make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/190707895\/baby-shower-headband-kit-party\">baby headbands<\/a> (shown below) or a place where you make wall art for your baby&rsquo;s nursery. If you have a lot of fun and creative friends a DIY or Crafters theme can be a really fun time for everyone.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.kinsights.com\/content\/images\/melindamckee-201551091151795401.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-candyland\">Candyland&nbsp;<\/h2><p>Who doesn&rsquo;t love playing the game candyland? And, who doesn&rsquo;t love candy? Create a magical wonderland of candy while playing the game candyland. You can decorate all of the tables with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/220875329\/neon-bright-pinkorange-green-yellow\">sweet trees<\/a> (shown below) and have candy-centered games and activities.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.kinsights.com\/content\/images\/melindamckee-201558091158048699.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-harry-potter\">Harry Potter<\/h2><p>For those who love the Harry Potter books, a Harry Potter themed shower may just have all the elements they want! You can even play a game where people have to guess which house the baby would be sorted into. Decor can feature items like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/86184916\/harry-potter-sorting-hat-pinata\">sorting hat pi&ntilde;ata<\/a> (shown below) and banners for all of the different houses.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.kinsights.com\/content\/images\/melindamckee-201559091159805597.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-books\">Books<\/h2><p>Is the mother-to-be an avid reader? You can create a magical atmosphere for a baby shower in a library or bookstore. Everyone who comes can bring a book to fill the baby&rsquo;s bookshelf! You can feature characters on the wall from the Mr &amp; Mrs books, and create luminaries and other decorations from old book pages. Even send out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/218175013\/little-golden-book-birthday-or-baby\">invitations that look like children&rsquo;s books<\/a> (shown below).<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.kinsights.com\/content\/images\/melindamckee-201502091202131561.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It feels like everyone I know is expecting these days and I love being able to help and plan baby showers for all of my friends.
