Baby Shower Themes for Boys

If you're planning a shower for a new mom expecting a baby boy, it's a good idea to browse baby shower themes for boys. A baby shower theme helps you pull together a cohesive event for the mom-to-be and her guests, including invitations, decorations, party supplies, the cake, and favors. Sometimes you can even give the guests gift-ideas based on the shower theme. Here are five great themes for a baby boy shower:

• Monkeys: This baby shower theme is fun and whimsical. Start by sending monkey-themed party invitations for the shower. Then, work your theme into your menu planning by incorporating bananas into your appetizers and desserts. Guests will love banana chips, banana bread, and banana cupcakes. You can really go bananas with a monkey theme!  Monkey decorations and party supplies are also easy to find so you'll be able to pull this theme together in no time.

• Blue and Green: Sick of the classic pastel blue baby boy shower themes? Make a statement with bold blues and greens as your theme colors like teal and lime green. Work the theme colors into everything from your party supplies to the shower menu. One delightful idea is to serve refreshing drinks for guests like cucumber water and blue raspberry soda. For desserts, try tiered blue and green frosted cupcakes.

• King of the Jungle: Lions and exotic animal prints will make this theme come to life. Both cute and playful, it's perfect for any boy baby shower. To make it work, incorporate exotic prints like leopard, zebra, and tiger on your tablescapes, supplies, favors, and decorations. Serve a cake with jungle animal toppers to add an extra special touch.

• Wild, Wild, West: Invite your guests to experience the Wild West with a western themed baby shower. Go the extra yard and ask guests to dress in western clothing. They'll be excited to wear their cowboy boots, leather jackets, and cowboy hats to get in the Wild West mood.

• Sports Baby: If you're considering a Jack and Jill type of shower, or if you know the dad-to-be is a big sports fan, host a sports-themed baby shower for the new parents. Learn the couple's favorite team and focus your theme entirely on that team. If the team is local, you can hit up the clubhouse to get some team-inspired party supplies. Additional items like foam fingers are a fun touch to add to the sports vibe at the shower.
