Plan
a “wild” party by throwing a
Safari Baby Shower

A safari baby shower or any animal baby shower theme is
perfect for a mom-to-be who loves the outdoors, wildlife, and cute,
cuddly animals. Here are some ideas that will bring this party to life.

Invitations

Start the invitation with something like “Please join us for a Safari
Baby Shower!” Use various pictures of trees, leaves and baby animals
for your background.

Decorations
For this theme, you can either select a color scheme, or have
multi-colored decorations. You want to definitely have brown and green
in your colors in order to have that “safari” feel, but you can easily
incorporate pink, blue or any other color into your decorations. These
decorating ideas will be based on a multi-colored scheme.

Head Table:
– A white tablecloth with a different color plate set at each seat.

-Little animal shaped candles or figurines in front of each plate. Use
a different animal for each seat.

-Safari baby shower confetti scattered on the table.

Guest tables:
-Make each table a different color, using that color for the
tablecloths, tableware, and centerpieces. Or, use a white tablecloth
for all the tables and use different colored tableware at each table.
In either case, make sure you use the same colors that are in you head
table.

-For the centerpieces, use a tree plush toy or a real plant, and
surround it with little safari animal figurines. You can find other
suggestions under the “centerpieces” section of this page.

-Safari baby shower confetti on the tables.

Small accents:
-Instead of using streamers, use synthetic vines to hang across the
ceilings and along the windows and doors.

-A couple of large safari animal plush toys in two corners of the room.

Guest of honor chair:
– Use some of the synthetic vines to drape on the back and arms of the
chair.
-Surround the chair with some plush toys.

Buffet table:

the runners from the back of the table to the front, instead of side to
side, so they can be seen.
