BABY SHOWER NEW YEAR THEME

If you have your baby shower right before or after New Years, it can work out very well as a baby shower New Years theme. A few ideas are to use the theme of "New Year", by having everyone say what their resolutions are. It is also a great time to give by having everyone donate to a charity of less fortunate people, especially to a single mother's or children's organization. A cute baby shower idea is to have everyone sign a 2008 or Baby Time theme board (i.e., in the shape of a clock or baby with a clock). Another idea is to have "Father" or "Mother" Time on sheets of paper with a text bubble next to them or on a big poster board and give the parent's to be some ideas that would be helpful for their preparing for their little "Baby Time".

Symbolic candy, including candy clocks and miniature new years candies are great to place on tables of the baby shower. Serving finger food out of clocks or things with Happy 2008 as well as spreading colorful decorations and shredded paper/tinsel on tables is a nice touch for the new year celebration. The Baby Shower New Years theme is still cute and works for the beginning of January as well as the days prior to New Years. Decorations can be little baby plastic dolls in diapers with clocks with a 2008 on their diaper, signifying baby time, are symbolic along with a mother or father time doll or decoration.

Baby shower decorations can be purchased at any party store that sells new years decorations or created for the New Year as well as cups, place settings and other items. The use of black, white, gold, and silver are festive for the Dec/Jan season. Balloons and Poppers can also be used and Champaign can be given as a drink! Party hats with "It's a Boy" or "It's a Girl" with 2008 can be a party favor and festive with the theme. Baby Blocks can spell out Happy New Years 2008 which can be given as a gift after the party is over but used as decorations.

Wall decorations can be New Years related, with the use of streamers, balloons, and firework art to bring in the new year. A game can be played to guess when the baby is coming in 2008 which can be emailed to everyone when the baby actually comes. A time capsule can be created with pictures of the baby shower event as well as writings from the baby shower guests for the little one to open when they are older (a shoe box can be used or a small box which will be tapped up and put away for the baby to open when they are older. Everyone can contribute by placing words of wisdom, funny little sayings along with money if they want to. It will be a memorable box to open when the child is a teenager or young adult.
