Going Bananas for a Jungle Themed Baby Shower!

Help! I'm throwing a jungle themed baby shower and have no clue what to do!
Ok, so maybe your baby shower planning is a little less dramatic than that (at least we hope it is). Planning a baby shower is a fun way to show that special mama-to-be that you care. With a few fun and coordinated details you can make that jungle theme come to life.

The first thing your guests will see is the invitation. Get creative and have fun with it! A custom, handmade invitation will help set the tone for the party and let everyone know what the theme is. Is the shower sophisticated and elegant or fun and laid back? A jungle themed invite definitely needs a fun and creative twist. A brightly colored monkey invitation is the perfect way to bring the jungle to the party. You can be sure that the perfect invitation will get guests talking and let everyone know that you are ready to go bananas at this jungle shower.




What next? The cake..... a diaper cake, that is! Everyone knows you will have a yummy cake at the shower. It will probably be decorated in the mama-to-be's chosen colors with cute little animals on top. Sounds good, right? If you ask me, I'd say a diaper cake sounds even better (but I'm probably a little biased) =oP. A diaper cake makes a great centerpiece and conversation piece and is a great way to add to the decorations at the shower. Not only does it make for great decorating but it also makes a great gift for the mama-to-be! Choose a diaper cake that is decorated to coordinate with the invitations for a finished look.




Looking for the creative touch of a diaper cake in a smaller portable package? Why not try adding some diaper cupcakes to the mix? Present them in a traditional cupcake box as a gift or spread them out individually as decoration. Bring in the colors of the jungle. Blues, greens, yellows and browns will turn those diaper cupcakes into treats that look almost good enough to eat! Just like the diaper cake, these bite sized treats can also be taken home and used by the mama-to-be.



Have fun and go bananas for your jungle themed baby shower!
