Babies Are A HooOoOT!

This is the perfect theme for a baby shower with Fall right around the corner, it adds that rustic flair in which autumn is all about!  But where to begin?  Oh, cute invitations of course!  This lets every guest know the need to know details.  Of course, the event, time and place; but it also lets them get the feel of the baby shower.  A cute owl shaped invitation with cute “who” sayings is inevitable, it’s a huge must!  Some fun examples are “Guess Hoo’s Coming?” or “Look WhoooOO’s Having a Baby” and “Whooo Doesn’t Love a Baby”.  All so cute and irresistible.  There are so many cute owls in different colors, shapes and sizes.  This is a great way to show your guests the theme and add a rustic flair too, you’re sure to find cute stuff at your local store for invitations and even stationary to create them yourself.

Too Hoot Decorations

The key to a great and fun shower is the baby shower decorations.  What better way to show off the theme of the shower?  Get into it!  It doesn’t have to be expensive!  For this shower, run to your local party store and look for cute vintage decorations.  You should be on the look out for cute owls in different sizes and colors, brown polka-dotted tablecloths will be perfect, vintage small vases and decorative branches.  You can put owls in the trees, hang hand-made banners, use browns, pastel greens, blues or pinks and add small flowers to the vases to add an extra detail.  Another cute idea is to hang a clothesline and hang pictures of the mommy and husband-to-be from when they were small owls.  Don’t forget the ever so cute diaper cake and diaper wreath!  There’s your chance to deck them both out with owls and even nests with eggs!  Think rustic charm and simple.  You’ll have an adorable baby shower on your hands.

Hooooo’s Hungry?

When deciding what to serve, think simple.  Appetizers will be perfect for this adorable shower ranging from homemade chips and salsa, cheeseballs and mini sandwiches.  Everyone loves finger foods and hiring a great caterer would be perfect for this event too!  It will be stress-free and free up your time to mingle with the guests.  Also, caterers always have an amazing selection of delicious appetizers that everyone will love.  Punch is always good, but what about serving lemonade in cute mason jars.  Serve water bottles with custom labels that feature cute owls.  For dessert?  A cute owl themed cake and delicious cupcakes!  A cute blue or pink owl with huge eyes would be so cute on the cake and cupcakes.  Your local and delicious baker could whip those right up for you too!  Jazz up the cupcake stand to replicate a tree and hang owls, too cute!  Again, rustic charm and there can never be to many owls!

Hoo Likes Games?

Not everyone’s favorite, right?  Some people love games and it truly is a good way to get everyone involved and make them feel apart of something, instead of sitting off to the side.  There are the classic games such as the dirty diaper game where people guess what kind of candy bar is in the diaper and the baby clothes pin game, where guests try not to say the word baby.  Classic games and easy for everyone.  More fun and exciting games may include stroller Olympics, where guests maneuver the stroller around obstacles, change the diaper and feed the baby.  The team with the fastest time wins.  Run to your local party store and they are sure to have a ton of baby shower games too!  However, this shower theme may call for more laid back games such as offering the mom advice or having a cute sign out asking guests will he/she be an astronaut, a president, fashion designer or a novelist.  Games are just a great way to get everyone involved and gets them into having a good time.

An owl themed baby shower is too cute of an idea to pass up.  This themed baby shower will have guests oohing over the mother-to-be and the gorgeous baby.  Everyone will definitely think you are the hostess with the mostess with this too cute for words baby shower!
