An elephant baby shower is truly adorable, and your guests will appreciate the lovely decorations and party favors that you’ll have in store for them.
Turn this special event into a memorable one by applying these simple tips on how to plan your upcoming baby shower.
From the decorations to food, you and your guests will have a blast with these unique party ideas and tips.
Step one: Ideas and Decorations
As for the ceiling, attach swirly streamers cut outs from gift wrappers with elephant designs. You may also match the color with your party’s motif.
If you are expecting a baby girl, use pink for the streamers; on the other hand, blue would be perfect if it’s a baby boy.
Neutral colors such as yellow and green are excellent in case the mom-to-be is still unsure about the baby’s gender or if she wants a gender reveal party.
Decorate the door by hanging a banner with elephant prints. Place plenty of balloons on the chairs and elephant posters on the walls and all over the living room. Purchase tableware and tablecloths with elephant designs that blend well with your baby shower’s theme.
Step two: Invitations
Throw some hints to your guests about the party’s theme by sending out elephant cards for invitations.
You can print pictures of a mother and baby elephant with their tusks intertwined, which would symbolize the great bond between mother and child.
Make sure you include a fitting title for the invitation such as “___ (insert name of mom-to-be) is expecting a little peanut.”
You should include pertinent details about the party such as the date, time, location, and other specific details.
Another fabulous idea is to make an edible invitation such as a cupcake with an elephant design on top. For the topping, choose a color that matches with your party’s color pattern.
Then, cut out a small piece of cardboard and include all the details about the baby shower. Attach the card on a toothpick, and place it in one side of the cupcake. Your guests will adore this interesting and unique invitation.
Step three: Favors
You can choose from numerous options when it comes to the party favors. For instance, you can bake brownies, and top these with elephant-shaped candy. Then, wrap the brownies with a clear plastic with elephant prints. Tie a bow neatly around the wrapped brownie to complete this fantastic look.
If you can order elephant-shaped lollipops, these will also make the perfect party favors for your baby shower. Make sure the candies match the motif, and do not forget to wrap it with cellophane and tie a nice ribbon around it.
Send your guests adorable party favors including soaps, plush toys, cupcakes, or any other items that come with elephant shapes. Then, you can place these in a paper bag with cool prints and stunning colors.
Step four: Games
Games add life to any party, so make sure you have a nice line up of games and activities for your guests. You can include the typical baby shower games such as “decorate onesies”.
Instructions:
Hand out plain white onesies to your guests, and ask them to decorate these with elephant designs. Allow them to use fabric pens, glitter glue, beads, and other items when they work on the designs for the onesies.
The expecting mom chooses the best one and the winner gets a small prize!
Another great game you can play is “Pin The Trunk On The pachyderm.” Print a huge image of Dumbo, and post it on the wall. Then, ask your guests to pin the trunk on the right place while they are blindfolded. Your guests will enjoy this cute and entertaining game. Do not forget to hand out prizes to the winners.
Other popular games include “Name My Little Peanut”, and guests will have to think of brilliant names for the baby. You may also play “Guess How Many Peanuts” by asking them to guess the number of peanuts in a jar.
Step five: Food
Make elephant-shaped cookies and sweet treats for your guests. You can also serve other finger foods such as peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwiches, animal crackers, and fruit juices. A cake shaped like an elephant is another food item that you can include in your menu.
Serve plenty of chocolates with elephant prints, as well as finger sandwiches. Use tablecloths and utensils that complement your party’s theme. Placemats, paper plates, cups, and napkins should also match your theme.
Step six: Diaper cake and Centerpieces
One of the best highlights of any baby shower is the diaper arrangement. Make a diaper cake that with an elephant theme. Include plenty of tiny stuffed elephants to decorate the diaper cake, as well as bows and baby items to complete the design.
For the centerpiece, you can have a sheet cake with images of a mother and baby elephant. Then, throw in some peanuts on the table. You may also line a few elephant figurines and trinkets that will give the table a charming appeal.
