What is great about summer is that everything thing and everyone goes outside. For those hosts who are planning,it is important to know that baby showers are no exception. In fact , summer showers are arguably the most fun because you can actually make the entire season your theme and seize the opportunity to make your party fun, festive and colorful.

One great theme to consider is the Toodles Gifts Tropical Trendy Baby Decoration. As Mom to be nears the end of her pregnancy, there is probably nothing more that she would like than to be whisked away to a relaxing tropical retreat. But with the real option probably a financial impossibility for most, not to mention being against doctor's orders, you can give that special Mom the next best thing and bring the islands to her.

There are so many advantages to using the tropical baby shower theme including the fact that you have many vibrant colors to choose from. This wide array of colors makes it ideal for baby showers where gender is unkown. This neutrality also makes this fun theme great for co-ed showers.

 

From the guest invitations that you can send in a bottle to the fruit smoothies you can serve up as refreshment,there are so many little things you can do to make your theme come alive.

 

Another bonus to having a tropical soiree is the fact that it can accomodate any budget. Remember baby shower hosts alot of your usual summer home decor put in place annually can be incoporated into the shower. The freshly planted flower garden or the newly cleaned pool can serve as a geat backdrop for your event. On the actual day, greet guests with an inexpensive hawaiian lay found at most party stores or simply give them a flower from your garden as hair accessories. Again, the possibilites are endless.

You may decide to make it a general tropical theme or, do as we would here at Toodles Gifts and add an even more personal touch. Find out if Mom to be has a favorite destination that she either has been to or would like to visit and then make that specific place the shower theme.

For example, our favorite tropical spot is Jamaica. A very simple and easy way to pull off a Jamaican baby shower would be to play reggae music at the shower. It immediately sets the tone for the party if guests are greeted with that. There are some really great Bob Marley songs that would work well too including, I wanna love you and One love.We would include some Jamaican food, even if it is not a complete entree, (bearing in mind Mom to be probably can't handle spicy food) , just serve your food on home made palm tree place mats and you'll have the same great effect. You get the idea, have fun!

What about shower games and activities,you may ask? Well here's an idea, have the guests pad themselves with a pillow to mimic Mom's pregnant belly and then have them all play calypso limbo. The aim would be to see who can go the lowest in their current "pregnant state". Can't you just picture the laughs!!

You get the point, by selecting just the right theme, you have so many ways to create a fun , personal and unforgetable baby shower, so go on...let your creativity be your kind.
