Sugar and spice, and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of. And so should baby girl shower ideas be made of!

Sunshine and rainbows, and ribbons for hair bows, that’s what little girls are made of.
Tea parties, laces and baby doll faces, that’s what little girls are made of. And so will baby girl shower ideas be made of!

Listen to women as they look at baby girl outfits …”Ooooooooh how cute is that?” “That is so adorable.” “How precious” and the like.

Baby girl items seem to come with a natural sweetness. That’s what makes planning a baby girl shower so easy. How about asking each guest to bring a frilly pair of booties or hair bows?

Here’s one of the fun baby girl shower ideas. If you know that the mother to be is going to have a girl, then get her a little girl baby doll. Get the doll the frilliest, laciest outfit you can find (mom will keep all these after the shower). Try to find some little lace tights and hair bows (or the elastic ‘brain squishers’). Make the doll as girlie as you possibly can.

Mom has to care for the “baby” all throughout the shower. Tell the guests ahead of time that anytime mom says “cute, adorable or precious” someone has to cry like a baby – thus causing mom to pick up the baby and check the diaper, see if she might be hungry or maybe just tired and need some rocking.

Carry on the shower festivities as planned, but mom has to do it with baby in tow. It’s fun to see if mom delegates grandma or all the other ‘aunties’ in the room to take care of the baby, or if mom tries to do it all.

Then for one of the games you can play “Baby [or insert baby's name if it has been decided]” is now in puberty” and then “Baby is in high school”. Have all the guests ask hypothetical questions – about how mom will react when … questions related to periods, boyfriends, sex, squabbling best friends, no one asking her to the dance…”

Give mom a dry run what she has to look forward to. It’s guaranteed to be a memorable shower.

So, baby girl shower ideas must be fun and girlie! Go overboard! Make it as frilly as you can. Baby girl shower ideas can still incorporate any other theme as well, just make sure it is frilly and girlie.

Snips and snails, and puppy dog tails, that’s what little boys are made of….  what are baby boy showers made of? I need some baby boy shower ideas please!

So your friend is having a boy -he will be her little buddy, pal, her man, champ, little guy, handsome devil. Don’t you dare call him sweetheart, angel, princess, peanut, honey or baby, right? Heck no. She is adamant he’s going to grow up to be a manly man.

Before the newborn boy is shaving and off to college, let’s get through the baby shower first. Some obvious themes or décor for boys include sports – baseball, basketball, football, soccer; or fire trucks; policemen; robots; doggies; cowboys or super heroes.

You won’t have a lot of frilly lace or dainty bows at a shower for a baby boy. You can never go wrong with anything in the color blue – and lots of it.

It’s a horrible experience for new parents to have strangers in the store refer to their little man as a precious girl. Baby boy shower gift giving made easy – give outfits to dress the handsome boy up in blue, blue, and blue. Even if his little sleeper has footballs all over it, the well meaning fan won’t take the time to notice the boyish pattern. Give them bold blue to clue them in.

Back to the shower ideas – generally baby showers are a woman dominated event. Your mother-to-be may not have much experience raising a boy. You could center the games on boy things.

1. Make a list of questions that pertain only to boys:

• Perhaps how to change a boy diaper
• What will you say when your son comes up to you and tells you …

2. Another idea would be to play:

• What not to do to embarrass your son (such as lick your finger then attempt to get the toothpaste off his cheek – in front of his friends.)
• Or don’t shout embarrassing honey-pie comments to your son while he’s playing with his friends.

3. Do a football quiz. Mom may need this information some day!

Guests who have sons will be able to help with this one. Raising a boy is not the same as raising a girl. Have fun but make it informative and fun for all shower attendees.

So, take these baby boy shower ideas as a guideline and come up with your own fun baby boy shower ideas!
