When throwing a shower for your expectant moms think about using the Baby Shower Nursery Rhyme Theme Party. We all know the familiar lyrics from the Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes and guests will find the theme based on the rhymes cute and entertaining. Use your creativity in coming with activities geared towards these Nursery Rhyme parties. For fun have guests split into teams of two or three and have them draw a nursery rhyme written on a slip of paper from a hat. They then have to coordinate and act out the rhyme for the other guests. The guests have to guess, of course, which rhyme is being acted out. Food can be lots of fun at these parties. Have you thought about making some of the foods mentioned in nursery rhymes? Not everyone will be partial to Curds and Whey from the Little Miss Muffet story, but you can certainly make up Jack and the Beanstalk Beans or Little Gingerbread Men. For a centerpiece you could even create a candy and gingerbread house like the one from the story about Hans and Gretel. The colors used in a Nursery Rhyme party would be similar to any other Baby Shower. Think light blues and pinks, pale yellows and greens against a white or off white background. You could make the Baby Shower into a costume party and invite guests to come dressed as their favorite nursery character. To help make permanent memories of the event you can set up a traditional fairy tale landscape in one corner and take Polaroids of the guests as they arrive in costume. For party favors you can set these Polaroids into pre-made frames decorated with Nursery Rhyme words and colors. Just make sure that you take two Polaroids of each guest so that you can collect the extra Polaroids into a Baby Shower album for the expectant mother. |
