Baby Shower Ideas for Boys and Girls

Planning a baby shower can be a fun and exciting way to show a friend or relative that you care. Having a good theme is an excellent place to start, since many times a good theme will determine what kind of decorations and favors you should have.

Below are a few theme ideas for boys:

Teddy Bears: Not only are they inexpensive, but they make great favors and decorations.

Animals: A jungle theme is always a great idea where you can incorporated lots of animals.

Sports: This is a great idea if the father is also interested in sports. A good idea is to ask the parents what sport they hope to have their son participate in when he gets older.

Cowboys: It's almost impossible for any little boy to go through childhood without playing "Cowboys and Indians". Little cowboy outfits can be adorable too!

Now let's look at the girls. Below are a few theme ideas for girls:

Princess: Once of the most popular girls themes. All little baby girls can be princesses after all!

Anne Geddes: Her photography is not only beautiful, but unparallel. You can incorporate some of her artwork in both the invitations and decorations.

Care Bare: They are so cute and all babies love to cuddle them.

There also may be times when twins are expected. Here are some themes for twins:

Two Peas in a Pod: This is a great idea if you're unsure of the gender.

Jack and Jill: This is a great idea if both a boy and a girl are expected. This popular poem is something that could have been printed on the invitations or decorations. If you do not want to use the same poem you can create your own. Creating an original baby shower verse is a great way to make this theme your own.

These are just a few ideas that could make any baby shower an event to remember.
