Alice in Wonderland Baby Shower Theme

Alice in Wonderland themed baby showers provide a unique theme that allows for more creativity when planning your shower theme. Typically, baby showers are influenced by the baby's sex. However, an Alice in Wonderland baby shower can be unisex, relieving the need for finding gender specific baby shower décor and favors.

Favor Ideas

Possible favors for an Alice in Wonderland baby shower include packets of tea, decorative teacups, and playing cards. To tie your favor display into your theme, tie gift tags to your favor bags or boxes with the words "Take Me" printed on the tag.

Another favor idea, which can be combined with other ideas, is to use customizable mint tins. Print labels for each small tin with an Alice quote or a public domain Alice in Wonderland image.

Decorating Ideas

Wonderland offers a myriad of ideas for decorating. One of the most popular scenes in Alice in Wonderland is Alice's meeting with the Mad Hatter at the Mad Tea Party. Decorate the area you're holding the baby shower as if guests are at the Mad Tea Party. String festive, brightly colored paper lanterns from the ceiling and decorate the buffet table with mismatching teacups and teapots in bright colors.

To make a festive, themed garland, you can use a deck of playing cards. Punch a hole at the top of each playing card and string them onto a thick red or black ribbon. Tie a knot after placing each card on the ribbon as you continue to string. This will ensure that the cards won't slide together, thus ruining the visage of hanging garland.

Invitation Ideas

An Alice in Wonderland baby shower offers numerous options for designing whimsical invitations. Flower shaped invitations with tiny faces in the center of each flower evoke Wonderland's colorful and whimsical nature. As well as flower shaped invitations, you can also purchase tags and decorate them with scrollwork handwriting encouraging guests to "Open Me" or "Attend Me."

Food Ideas

Tea parties, mushrooms, magic elixirs and cookies, Wonderland is brimming with ideas for food for your baby shower. Present plates of cookies on your buffet table with a tag under the plate declaring, "Eat me." If you have access to teapot, mushroom or hat shaped cookie cutters, cut the cookies into the desired shape before baking and ice with decorative frosting.

Instead of cookies, make cupcakes with a variety of different colors of frosting. Use printable shrink plastic to craft small tags that say "eat me" to place on top of each cupcake.

Throwing a baby shower for a family member or friend doesn't have to be a chore. Creating your Alice in Wonderland baby shower theme can be fun and, best of all, it can take the monotony out of baby shower planning.
