Baby Shower Names
You’ve played a baby shower names game, so why not dedicate a shower to the theme of baby names.
Treasure Box Kids Baby Shower Names
One the most important tasks of expectant parents is to determine their baby’s name. The actual meaning of the baby name , family names, religious influences, popularity, and uniqueness…these are all factors that play into the baby name choice. Then why should you not have fun with it?
If the expectant parents know the baby’s gender then find all kinds of names related to the gender. Print out these baby names and decorate each of the printouts with glitter or stickers to decorate the room. Childrens’ wooden blocks with letters can be placed in different locations around the room and then guests can see how many different names can be created from each set.
Where to search for the baby shower names<h/2>
The social security administration allows you to search popular baby names for any given year after 1879. This information is great for developing a top 5 baby names for any given year type of game. Players can choose the top 5 names from the list of 10 to see if they guess correctly. Baby name scramble is another fun team game for baby shower guests.
If a name hasn’t been picked yet for the baby, you can provide the parents-to-be with a great source of inspiration that’s also a nice memento of the shower. Buy a cute notebook and pass it around to all the guests. Have them enter ideas for boys’ or girls’ names, along with any notes they may want to share about why they like that name.

Homemade Baby Shower Favors
Crafted homemade baby shower favors add a special, one of a kind touch to your party. To show appreciation for the guests coming to the baby shower, consider having favors for them to take home as mementos. Homemade baby shower favors are inexpensive to make, and the mom-to-be will surely appreciate that you took the time to make them by hand.
Simple Homemade Baby Shower Favors

The most simple baby shower favor can be made by filling inexpensive baby bottles with pastel-colored candies and decorating with a ribbon and label. Fold napkins like diapers, pin and fill with candy for another cute baby shower favor. Fragrant sachets filled with potpourri, organic teas and wrapped with a ribbon make for a unique baby shower favor.
Advanced Homemade Baby Shower Favors
If you are good at folding baby washcloths with colored edges, then you can make whimsical baby shower favors that look like cupcakes or lollipops. Fold the washcloth in half lengthwise; start at one end and roll the washcloth so that it looks like a cinnamon bun. Pull from the center to make a frosted cupcake look and then place in foil cupcake papers. Tie with a ribbon to help hold the shape. For washcloth lollipops, take the rolled washcloth and put it in a lollipop bag or saran wrap. Use a rubber band to secure the bottom of the bag or wrap. Insert a lollipop stick into the bag through the middle of the rubber band until it is touching the washcloth. Take a piece of ribbon and tie tightly around the rubber band.

Baby Shower Gift Baskets
Giving personalized baby shower gift baskets is a caring and unique way to share in the joy of new motherhood. Baby shower gift baskets can be filled with a wild variety of items or can adhere to a specific theme.
How to make a Baby Shower Gift Baskets
Once you have found a gift basket that you like begin to decorate the basket with pastel colored ribbons. For a baby bath-time basket line the basket with baby bath towels instead of tissue paper. Add baby bath products such as baby shampoo, wash cloths, baby lotion, baby powder, wash cloth puppets, a rubber duckie and so on. A sleep-time baby shower gift basket can be filled with a soft blanket, baby-safe stuffed animals, baby monitor, crib sheets, a soothing music collection, and a musical mobile. A breastfeeding gift basket could include a breast pump, handy meal plans for nursing moms, a nursing cover and a nursing pillow.
Other Baby Shower Gift Baskets Ideas
Another baby shower gift basket idea can be based on baby clothing. No baby can ever have enough clothes. You might offer some starter items that you think the mother would like and that would be comfortable for the baby as well. Vitamins Baby Clothing has several multiple-piece sets that contain matching items that new mothers need. I just went to a baby shower where the parents wanted to be surprised by the baby’s gender. A children’s boutique gift certificate allows the mother to pick up something special once the baby is born…a gift that keeps on giving.

Baby Shower Ideas: Nursery Rhyme Shower
Are you having a hard time coming up with good baby shower ideas? Why not throw a nursery rhyme themed baby shower. Grab a well-loved book of nursery rhymes and start planning. You’ll soon find yourself with plenty of ideas for a great baby shower.
Play games such as Finish the Baby Rhyme, found on this great list of baby shower games. You could also play Nursery Rhyme Charades. Have each guest draw a name of a nursery rhyme out of a bag and act it out. This is sure to bring lots of laughter! Another fun idea would be to fill a jar with cotton balls and have the guest guess how many bags of wool “Baa Baa Black Sheep” has. The person who guesses the closest to the correct number would win a prize.
There are many great baby shower ideas you could use for decorations. Use pages from old nursery rhyme books. You could make a garland, a table runner, wall decorations or small framed table decorations with these pages. Borrow stuffed animals that are related to nursery rhymes, such as lambs, ducks or geese. Moons, stars, and flowers would also all complement the theme. Use an old nursery rhyme book as a guest book. Have each guest sign a different page and present it to the guest of honor. This will be a special memento of her baby shower.
More baby shower ideas for your Nursery Rhyme Shower:
You can easily serve food that relates to nursery rhymes. Serve “Humpty Dumpty” deviled eggs, “The Muffin Man’s” muffins, or cheese chunks for “Little Miss Muffet’s curds and whey”. You could serve star-shaped cookies to represent “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and moon-shaped cookies to represent “Hey Diddle, Diddle”. For a drink, serve hot tea to represent “Polly Put the Kettle On”.
As favors, send your guest home with flower seeds or small potted flowers. Attach a tag with “Mary, Mary Quite Contrary” printed on it. Another option for favors or prizes would be tapered candles with tag that has “Jack Be Nimble” printed on it.

Baby Shower Activities
Well-planned baby shower activities can make your shower a success. Baby shower activities are exciting and help guests connect to one another. Baby shower guests become closer to the expectant mother as they share their own stories and group activities. Activities such as making keepsake items provide immediate fun and lasting memories. Personalize t-shirts, onesies, crib sheets or blankets; take photos of baby shower guests, print them out and put them in an album with advice or notes from each guest. Fun baby shower games can be less embarrassing when doing something like choosing a flower from a centerpiece, counting the number of petals on the flower, and offering that many pieces of advice to the mother to be.
