A Book-Themed Baby Shower
Whether traditional or modern, party themes are an easy way to tie together the invitations, decor, menu, and more. They can also bring a greater sense of festivity to a baby shower. But remember, the theme you choose doesn't have to be over the top: The star of the show will always be the new mom.
Celebrate the mom-to-be's love of literature with a whimsical menu, darling decorations, and plenty of fairy-tale fun.
Flower Power Baby Shower
Combining bright balloons and sweet flower shapes is an ideal way to celebrate the anticipated arrival of a bright and beautiful baby. You can set the party indoors or outdoors, where a sunny day and garden can decorate the shower for you. All you need are a few special touches.
Baby Bird Shower
Many expectant mothers begin the "nesting" process -- cleaning house, preparing baby clothes, assembling furniture -- as their delivery date approaches. Entertain them with a baby bird-themed dessert shower.
Spa Shower
Since the mother-to-be will have little time to spoil herself after the baby is born, now is the perfect time for her and her friends to indulge in healthy spa food, nourishing treatments, and luxurious bath accessories.
Baby Shower By Mail
If the expectant mother doesn't live nearby, you can still shower her with love and good wishes by creating a "baby shower in a box." Choose a theme such as Baby's First Bath, Decorate the Nursery, or Pampering Mom, and invite friends and loved ones to contribute.
All-in-White Shower
The color white signifies goodness, innocence, and purity -- all of which describe a baby. Give a white-themed shower and you will honor mother and child in style. Creating a white theme is simple. Fill a living room or dining room with white balloons and streamers. Ask guests to bring their gifts wrapped in snowy hues. Glass and white porcelain serving dishes complete the theme. Include a candy table where guests can nibble on sweets and later bundle their favorites in swatches of white tulle or muslin to take home as favors. The only centerpiece needed is a towering white layer cake.
Daisy Baby Shower
A simple and cheerful flower inspires an outdoor baby shower with fresh-picked decor, favors, and food. The daisy is easy to replicate in decor and favors, but not every detail is flower-shaped; yellow-and-white favors -- lollipops, rubber ducks, and paper cones holding penny candy -- are just as fitting; a gingham tablecloth adds to the summery theme.
Beauty Shower
Treat the mommy-to-be to some well-deserved pampering before the baby arrives. Find a spa that offers prenatal massages, as well as manicures and pedicures for all your baby shower guests.

I am in the the process of planning my sisters baby shower and haven't yet decided on a theme yet. So far, I have found these jungle safari favors online which have been inspiring me to have a jungle / rain forest themed baby shower for her. On the other hand though, this post has given me an idea. Some of us are part of a book club, and the book themed baby shower seems like it could be the perfect fit for the occasion. I was just looking at the link to it and the mother goose themed food looked delicious! I see that you have a Facebook and twitter page, but by any chance do you have a Pinterest page at all I could follow.
