BABY SHOWER SUMMERTIME THEMES

Welcome to the end of summer which makes a great time to throw a baby shower. You have the weather on your side to have some fun in the sun as well as indoors. Choose a baby shower location that is right for the mommy-to-be; does she like the indoors or out? You can have it at a favorite restaurant, home party or just about anywhere that is weather friendly! Bring in a baby shower theme that is based on the season or something the mommy-to-be enjoys. Whether it is the beach, summertime, butterflies, princess/prince theme, have fun with it. Get the baby shower decorations that match with the ideas you have. There are so many wonderful ideas which may mean a pre-shower meeting with all the girls who want to participate!

Make sure to get everyone's emails early and even create a blog site or baby shower twitter site that all the girls can feed into and share their thoughts. Its free which is the best part of creating a site like that where all can communicate back and forth. Also make sure the baby shower invitations go out as early as possible since you want to make sure everyone can attend. Include glitter, summer confetti, or if you know the gender of the baby, bring in blues, teals and pinks!

It is always fun to plan a baby shower in the summer months. This year seems to be a record breaking heat in most of the country (US) which needs to be taken into consideration when planning the lovely shower. Below, we have listed some great summer baby shower tips to help with the party planning:

Cool things off with making sure you plan a venue that has air conditioning, an indoor element (even if it is being held outdoors) and to have iced water handy for your baby shower guests. On the baby shower invitations have fun with a summer theme and include shovels, pails, starfish, beach ball and chairs, the sand and surf.

If going by a beach or lake, add an element of sand to the invitation while confetti is also a great accent to any invite. Make sure to remind your guests to wear hats and bring sun screen if it is at all taking place outdoors. A fun baby shower theme to add is for everyone to bring hats and umbrellas to the shower.

There are a great amount of summer foods to have at the shower including passion fruit, watermelon, strawberries, blueberries, with a touch of cool whip or whipped cream. Have cold salads and cucumber finger sandwiches on your favorite breads.

Bring out the chilled wine (other than for the mommy-to-be) as well as mixed drinks like daiquiris, martinis, and marguerites. Make a non-alcoholic version for the mommy-to-be. If you have a home party, get really into the theme by having tikki torches, grass skirts and baby shower leis handed out.

Baby shower games can be played throughout the shower with a huge listing on our site for the best in planning. Mix the games to having some that are active and some that are more cerebral (mind using) so everyone can participate in the types of games without feeling uncomfortable.

Decorate the baby shower with summer themes using beach chairs, beach balls and towels. These can be given to the parents-to-be after the shower. Create a baby shower gift pack including baby sunscreen, wipes, towels and other fun seasonal items which can be your baby shower gift.

The year is almost halfway over already and it is time to plan for a baby shower in July! There is nothing like the weather heating up for you to have the most awesome baby shower party outside to enjoy the weather. Just make sure to listen to the weather reports and have a back-up plan since there is still rain and storms in certain parts of the states.

This summer season, bring in flowers for baby shower decorations but make sure the mommy-to-be is not allergic to the flowers you get. You can also have little plants in the middle of tables as cute baby shower centerpieces and give them away at the end of the shower - a great symbol of life and growth.

For the hot months, it is great to serve healthy and energy finger foods like cucumber and egg sandwiches on wheat or pita bread. Serve light wine or sangria with lots of fruit and make a non-alcoholic drink for the mommy-to-be.

Choose some great baby shower games to set the mood and space them out throughout the baby shower. Our favorite is baby shower bingo where you can place numbers on each of the baby shower gifts and have the mommy to be choose them randomly while everyone else plays bingo. Share baby stories of those who have known the mommy-to-be throughout her life. Create or purchase baby shower invitations and have everyone write a memory about the mommy or daddy-to-be as well as one parent advice so someone can make a memory book out of all the baby shower rsvp cards that come back.

Make sure to take lots of pictures and assign someone responsible this task as well as being in charge of the video camera. It is cute to have baby shower favors for the guests that are inexpensive or that are made by the mommy or her friends as a keepsake. Cute summer ideas are to use jelly bellies of your favorite colors or other baby candy. Make the baby shower festive with wall hangings, balloons and dress the mommy-to-be in a cute baby shower shirt.
 

It's time to party for the baby shower - Summer style! - This festive party time makes a great theme for any baby shower since there are so many things you can do to tie in summer to the theme of the party. A few ideas are to use the theme of either hot or cool where you play games like "Hot Potato with a Diaper" (see the baby shower games page), listen to summer related songs like Summer Time by Will Smith or Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles, and place items that coincide with Summer such as beach/sand, sun, warm colors (red, orange, and yellow, etc.

Decorations can be purchased for the summer season and cups, place settings and other items can also have a summer theme. Wall decorations can be summer festive with the use of beach items on tables such as buckets, shovels and other items their baby can enjoy! A great baby shower game to play is to have everyone write a message for the mother and father to be on cut out sun's or summer festive item cards and present them to the mother to be by placing them in a keepsake box. Have the mother to be read each one out loud as she takes them out of the box which makes for a sentimental and funny time. Shells and other items can be used to decorate the room.

There are so many ways to tie in Summer to the baby shower theme. We also have tons of other ideas throughout the site and hope you enjoy our information. Have a great time at the upcoming party and we hope to help out in your planning with babyshower101.com.

Summer planning for a baby shower can be really fun since there are many more ideas for shower venues (indoor and outdoors) due to the warm weather. Get into the season by creating a baby shower theme of summer by bringing in warm colors (reds, yellows, orange, and vibrant colors) into the baby shower decorations. Use sunflowers, cut outs of sun, beach and palm trees to make the room festive. You can sprinkle sand on the tables or baby shower centerpieces. Cut out summer icons and have the baby shower guests write down some baby advice for the new parents. Get a camera and take pictures of each baby shower guest and place each photo with the flower to place into a memory scrapbook! There are other great baby shower photo opportunities which we have more of on our photo page.

A cute baby shower game for the beginning of summer is called "Whose Water Breaks First. All you need is clear plastic cups and minature plastic babies. Prior to the day of the baby shower, fill plastic cups with water, enough to cover the plastic baby toys at least halfway (since they may float). Place the cups in the freezer until frozen stiff (you need to prep the night before). The day of the baby shower party, give a cup to all the baby shower participants as they arrive. Whoever can melt the water the quickest or their water breaks gets the prize. The baby shower attendees can try to melt by blowing hot air on it or putting it in the sun (everything goes, let them get creative).

A cute baby shower gift is to get the mommy-to-be some baby beachware including pails, shovels, sifters, beach chair with covering or anything else the baby can play with at the beach. Check our our partner who has great themed diaper cakes which are excellent gifts for any occassion, including the baby shower!

Another great gift is a customized baby t-shirt for both mommy and baby! You can add a cute Summer saying like "I'm ready for the summer" or creating a summer sun where the pregnant mommies tummy protrudes. A great baby shower gift idea for the month of June and July is to give Gift Cards to the parents-to-be's favorite stores. This way, you know you are giving the new parents something that they want and need. Just make sure to choose those stores that you know are not closing due to the recession.

It is a great time to get outdoors and enjoy the weather! Just make sure to check the weather report to make sure there are no June showers. A great idea is to choose a baby shower venue that you can enjoy inside and out! Remember that mommy-to-be may feel uncomfortable in the sun so have her dress appropriately with fans and air conditioning if at an outside venue!

Baby shower food can stick with the holiday spirit by being placing sun flowers around the plates and tables. Strawberries, grapes, cherrys and fragrant pineapples are in season and make great munchies! Cucumber finger sandwiches, celery, salads, and colorful jelly bellies are fun and great tasting!
