Theme: Baby Rattle Baby Shower

A baby and a baby rattle seem to go hand in hand, so why not throw a baby shower with a baby rattle theme? Yes, if children are in attendance, this idea will be the making of a noisy baby shower. It’s an opportunity for a lot of fun too, though, and keep in mind that it’s just for one day. (Put your patience hat on!)

Baby Shower Invitations:
  • There are a wide variety of baby shower invitations in the marketplace, online and in stores, featuring a baby rattle. Because this is such a popular baby icon, it shouldn’t be difficult finding something you and the mother can agree upon (if this isn’t a surprise baby shower, that is).
  • Create your own baby shower invitation using software, a create and print program on the web, or using photo cards of baby rattles. When creating your own baby shower invitation, you’re able to customize each feature exactly the way you desire.
  • Involve children that will be in attendance by asking them to help you make the baby shower invitations. Find some coloring pages or clip art featuring a baby rattle to cut out and use on the front of the invitation. Make these baby shower invitations from construction paper, cardstock, or other decorative papers.

Baby Shower Favor:

Beyond the obvious, baby rattles, have fun with the baby shower favors. Sometimes party supply stores have baby rattles that you can fill with candy and pass out to guests. You could also bake cookies that are in the shape of baby rattles, wrap them up in a cello, and attach a tiny baby rattle using decorative ribbons. Another option is to find small pads of paper in the shape of baby rattles. There are endless opportunities when it comes to this baby shower theme.

Baby shower game:

  • Print out some bingo cards and use mini baby rattles as the game pieces.
  • Play Simon Says using baby rattles as part of the game.
  • Have a scavenger hunt where everyone looks at clues and tries to find the hidden baby rattles.

Baby shower decoration:

This is another easy one when it comes to this baby shower theme. Hang baby rattles off strings of garland, tie baby rattles to the backs of chairs, use baby rattles to weigh down helium filled balloons, add baby rattles to the table presentations you create, put some baby rattles in with flower arrangements, and so on. As you can see, the opportunities for this part of the planning process are also limitless. Have fun with this portion of the baby shower planning and try to be creative. The decorations can also serve as part of the baby shower games if you choose to have a scavenger hunt.

Baby shower food:

  • Serve baby rattle cupcakes on a tiered cake stand.
  • Ask a bakery to bake a baby rattle shaped baby shower cake.
  • If you’re feeling ambitious, make your own baby rattle baby shower cake.
  • Use mini baby rattles to embellish platters of sandwiches and other finger foods.

Don’t be afraid to be inventive when it comes to the baby shower card, baby shower gift, and other elements that make up this baby shower theme. The idea is to have fun and, if this is a surprise for the mom-to-be, she won’t know what hit her (aside from the sound of baby rattles, of course)!!

Have you ever thrown a baby rattle themed baby shower before?
