57. Look into the future
What will baby's future hold? Well, no one can say for sure, but won't it be fun to guess? Play games centered around guessing what baby will be like in the future (immediate or distant). Decorations can be done in a Star Trek-ish or mystic theme. Guests can be instructed to bring gifts that baby will be able to use down the road (saving bonds, time capsules, books to make baby smarter, or even just larger sized baby clothes will work fine). For extra fun, why not hire a psychic or palm reader for entertainment purposes only? If the psychic thing doesn't sit right with you, just have a friend or family member pretend to have 'the power'.
58. Garden Shower
Got a lovely garden/patio area and anxious to show it off? Garden showers can be a breath of fresh air! Serve light foods such as pastries and hors d'oeuvres, with iced tea or lemonade. Flowers make perfect decorations. As prizes, personalized seed packets are perfect.
59. Earth First
Tree huggers unite for this environmentally correct shower. Serve organic foods, plant a tree, and give out seed packets as prizes. Don't forget to tell the guests that cloth diapers, breastfeeding supplies and cards printed on recycled paper are a must!
60. Under the Sea
Prove to your guests that it IS better down where its wetter! Blue and green balloons and streamers, and tropical fish cutouts will transform your party into an undersea adventure. If you have a pool available, make use of it! Water games such as "don't drop baby" and "my water broke" fit perfectly. As far as food goes, what else? Fish!
61. Noah's Ark
Two by two, here they come, this baby shower theme is so much fun! This is an extremely popular theme for twin showers. Be sure to invite the guys to this one, as couples showers are twice as nice. Double the decorations, especially the stuffed animal kind and double the party favors for your guests! Noah's Ark themed shower decorations are in abundance at most party supply shops, so you should have no trouble finding great stuff.
62. Old McDonald's farm
63. Twinkle little star
64. Mother Goose
No childhood is complete without learning the rhymes of dear Mother Goose. Invite the guys for a "Jack and Jill" shower. Decorate with popular nursery rhyme characters such as the cow who jumped over the moon, jack be nimble's candlesticks, mary's little lamb, twinkle little stars (either star shaped items or twinkle lights), etc. Great recipes can include - Humpty Dumpty's Egg Salad Sandwiches; Three Blind Mice Cheese Logs; Hot Cross Buns; Blackbird (black berry) Pie; Cottage Cheese Fruit Dip (curds and whey); Queen of Hearts Tarts; Little Piggy's Roast Beef Salad; Peter Peter's Mini Pumpkins; and Little Boy Blue's Butterscotch Haystacks. All recipes will be added very shortly. Don't forget to mark the cake with a B for baby and me!
65. Safety Shower
Gifts for this theme center around baby safety. BabyShowerGamesAtoZ.com has great packaged games to make your safety shower a huge hit.
66. Got Milk?
This is similar to the diaper shower, however guests are invited to bring bottles and formula in lieu of, or in addition to, other gifts.
67. All about Baby
Use all sorts of baby items to decorate for this theme (bottles, diapers, toys, larger items can be used to display gifts). Serve drinks inside baby bottles (with the top of the nipple cut off) and use cloth diapers as placemats. Play baby trivia games to find out which of your guests knows the most about baby.
68. Over the Rainbow
Why pick one or two colors to decorate your baby shower, when you can pick them all! Assign guests a random color, and have them shop for a gift matching that hue.
69. Tropical Paradise
Who can resist a backyard luau party? Luau items such as grass skirts and leis, as well as drink umbrellas and pineapple drinking glasses can be purchased at most party stores. Hawaiian style food (ham, pineapple recipes) go great. Local bird clubs might be able to help you find bird trainers with tame/trained parrots to join you at your party (please don't purchase birds for the sole purpose of shower entertainment).
