Baby Shower Invitations
When sending out invitations,
use a night sky them with moon and stars. Use a silver or gold glitter
pen to fill in the shower information. Construction paper and cardstock
are good choices for making the invitations. The traditional colors
of pink, light blue, or yellow are good choices to use, however
just about any soft color will work also.
Decorations
Use construction paper to make mobiles of moons, stars, and clouds.
Hang them from the ceiling using string and thumbtacks. You could
even use some glitter to decorate the stars if you like. Place baby
powder scented candles around the room.
Games
Game ideas include a song game. Divide the guests up into teams.
The teams go back and forth, taking turns with the players on each
team, trying to come up with songs that have the word “baby”
in the title. Do this until one team cannot come up with a song.
Prizes for the winning team might be something like little night
lights since the theme is lullaby.
Another suggestion is to tape the guests singing parts or all of their favorite lullabies to give to the mother. It is a sweet guest that both mother and baby can enjoy for years to come.
Use lullaby music to play games like hot potato (only pass a baby instead) or musical chairs.
Food
Baby cradle shaped cake is a nice touch, but if there is not a good
cake decorator around, cupcakes would do just as nicely. They can
be frosted with cloud-like fluffy frosting. Sometimes, themed candies
can be found and sprinkled on top for decoration.
Cookies are another classic food that can easily be conformed to a lullaby theme by using cookie cutters to make stars and moon shapes. Whip a little bit of food coloring and icing together for decoration and, voila, a tasty and tasteful treat for the enjoyment of everyone.
Gift Ideas
Great gift ideas for the lullaby theme include lots of calming gifts
for both baby and mommy. Comfortable bedtime clothing is a plus,
blankets as well. Don’t forget mommy when providing comfy
pajamas and slippers. Also, calming bath time necessities are always
good for both baby and mom. And, in keeping with the lullaby theme,
bassinet and/or crib sheets are something parents of newborn can
never have too much of. Baby swings that lull a baby to sleep are
also perfect.
