Themes, Decorations & Favours












Clever use of a theme and decorations can make all the difference in the success of your baby shower. Your theme could be anything as simple as 'pastel colours' or as involved as a 'Mad Hatters Tea Party' theme. You can run the theme right through your event from invitations to games and the food you serve, or you could keep it simple and just choose a few decorations that work well.

Decorations alone can create a sense of occasion, and make the guest of honour feel special. And even better - they don'ít have to cost the earth! Have a go at making some yourself or you can buy various party products such as baby-themed table confetti from our online shop.

Particularly as all the guests will have brought a gift, it is nice to send them away at the end of the baby shower with some kind of party favour. It really doesn't have to cost much - just a small token for each guest to go home with. It is not so engrained in our culture as it is in the US, but why not have a look at our ideas and then decide whether you want to provide favours.

We know that lots of you out there like to be creative and think of your own ideas, and are often just looking for inspiration, so here are some ideas to get you going...
