So, if you choose a theme, make sure it will be easy to execute, otherwise you are simply making a lot of unnecessary work for yourself. Remember our motto, relax and enjoy.

Of course the reason for the shower is the baby and the ideas for baby shower themes should not replace that, but you can also decide to have a particular theme.

Here are a few ideas for baby shower themes.

1. Have a fall harvest theme:

With this baby shower theme you could decorate in orange, brown and gold colors. Serve pumpkin pie, cider, spiced chai tea and apples. Make some soups and warm dips; and burn cinnamon candles.

Having a fall theme is just another added dimension to the baby shower. It in no way distracts from the main focus of celebrating baby.

2. Have a pool party theme:

If it is summer time perhaps you'd like to have a pool party theme. Suggest everyone bring their bathing suits and a towel. Host the shower outside. Serve lemonade and popsicles.

The seasons of the year offer wonderful ideas on themes. A spring baby shower theme could include lots of flowers. Favors could be a little package of bulbs. Stress the new birth that comes with spring and tie it in with the new birth of the baby.

3. You could do a "pamper-me" theme:

Let everyone take their shoes off and dip their feet in the foot massager. Then rub peppermint lotion on your feet. This would be a fun get together – all the while making mom and baby the focus. It will be enjoyable and memorable for the shower guests too.

OK, someone else will have to rub the lotion on the mommy-to-be as she will not be able to reach her feet!

This is one of the ideas for baby shower themes that can really make for a lot of fun. You can make it as elaborate or as easy as you wish. I’ll go for the latter when keeping our motto of relax and enjoy in mind.

4. What about a cookie exchange?

Have all the guests bring 2 dozen cookies and swap them out. Chances are your guest of honor will have fun too. Of course a baby shower is all about mom, but sometimes there are only so many baby festivities to do in one afternoon.

5. What about a luau theme complete with grass skirts, leis and coconuts:

Well, here is another one of the ideas for baby shower themes. Make your shower FUN, remember our motto, relax and enjoy!

It doesn't have to be about tea and crumpets while sitting quietly in a chair. If your guest of honor was fun before she was pregnant, she'll still be fun. (Give her one last hoorah before baby settles her down.)

These are only a few ideas for baby shower themes to show you that you do not have to go with the traditional baby shower themes. Often the Barney and more kind of themes turn out expensive and stressful. Keep it simple and relax and enjoy the occasion!

I hope these ideas for baby shower themes will inspire you to have fun.
