Ideas for Planning a Safari Baby Shower

Are you planning a baby shower? A themed baby shower is much more original than a typical pink or blue baby shower. How do you know a safari baby shower will put a smile on the mom to be's face? If she's ever visited Africa on a mission trip, she will appreciate this theme. Is the zoo one of her favorite places? Maybe she just loves the outdoors! Is she a fan of wildlife? Does she have her own array of unusual pets at home? If you answered yes to any of the above, a safari baby shower is sure to please the mom to be!

Decorations for a safari baby shower start with the colors you will use. Either brown and pink or brown and pink makes a great color scheme. You can find complete safari baby shower supplies in both of these color schemes online. A cute way to decorate the table is with animal figurines. You can also buy safari confetti and scatter it. Use a real plant or stuffed tree toy as the table centerpiece and put little animal figurines around it. Mosquito nets, binoculars and safari hats also make unique table decorations. You may even want to decorate a safari hat for the mom to be!

What is the best way to decorate the room for a safari baby shower? Use streamers that fit your color scheme or get original and hang pretend vines across the ceiling, and over the windows and doors. Make little piles of stuffed safari animals in the room. You can decorate the mom to be's chair with pretend vines, too! You can dress up a stuffed animal in a diaper holding a bottle and use it as a decoration. Everyone knows no safari is complete without a Jeep! Remember how you made a car out of a cardboard box when you were a kid? Prepare to be a kid again; make a cardboard Jeep to give your safari theme a truly realistic feel! All you need to do is get a large cardboard box and cut the sides so it looks like a Jeep. Put clear cellophane on the space you cut out for the window; it will look like a window shield. A Jeep isn't truly a Jeep without roll bars; create your own by spray painting empty paper towel holders. Run wild with your imagination as you decorate the rest of the Jeep any way you choose!

A safari baby shower is perfect for an adventurous mom and a lot more fun to plan than a traditional baby shower!
