Jungle Shower cakes / sweets Safari Themed Invitations – gender neutral, girl and boy version Jungle shower decor Safari themed food and drink ideas Party with a purpose – how to give back to the jungl e FREE Welcome Poster Thank you favor tags and more

Jungle theme baby shower cakes make a wonderful centerpiece.

This adorable baby shower cake is perfect for the new mom celebrating with a jungle or safari theme. The jungle animals (even a little hippo) surround the cake to make an amazing centerpiece for your party.

You could also have several little cakes – like this three some featuring a giraffe, lion and elephant. Each one could be a different flavor to add to the variety. You can find the cute toppers here.

The elephant topper on this baby shower cake is adorable! And the cute giraffe is super sweet too. Yes, the kangaroo is generally not found in the jungle but somehow mom and joey hopped on for the ride.

Here’s a different take on a jungle theme cake – a three tiered cake featuring animal prints and jungle leaves.

Make the cake the centerpiece!

This cake is a standout and needs to be front and center. Mint green and gold are a perfect combination for a jungle shower. The decorations surrounding the cake are as creative as the cake itself.

If you like golden safari showers, there are plenty of options available. Here’s some inspiration for you to set the tone. This cake and dessert spread showcases the golden theme perfectly.

Jungle theme cookies and cupcakes – sweet as can be.

Are you a cookie baker with animal theme cookie cutters ? You can make your own jungle themed cookies and decorate with colored frosting and a steady hand. If not, just head on over to etsy and get these sweet faced jungle animal cookies delivered in time for your shower. Sweet elephant, spotted giraffe, curious monkey, orange tigers, cute zebra and baby lion cookies will accent your shower perfectly!

Are these the cutest jungle cupcakes you’ve ever seen? Monkeys, tigers and zebra make their debut on chelseasmessyapron . Head on over for complete step by step instructions.

Safari and Jungle theme baby shower invitations. Lions and tigers and so much more!

Unique jungle animals take front and center on this safari theme shower. I love the colorful toucan, the napping lion and the cougar on the prowl.

We’re wild with excitement! This is one of my most recent designs featuring playful baby safari animals. I have a swinging monkey hanging from a vine, a baby zebra, jumping lion, a sprinkling elephant and smiling giraffe all front and center. This is also available as an instant download – so you can download, edit and print on your home computer today! Can also be emailed too 🙂

I also have this design and quite a few matching pieces in this theme (such as this cute baby elephant with sprinkling water thank you favor tags ). Head on over to see the entire collection .

Baby girl safari themed invitations

I also had a request for a “girl” version of the safari themed baby shower invitation. I added a bit of pink, some ferns and flowers and of course, a pink elephant 🙂

You can also customize this baby shower invitation via Corjl – change background colors, fonts and more!

If you’ve never used Corjl before, here’s a quick video with the “how to”.

Super cute jungle animals hiding among the ferns. The elephant, hippo, lion and giraffe are soft watercolor versions – perfect for a gender neutral shower.

Here’s a creative touch to the lion king theme – multi colored jungle leaves surround the baby lion. And too, these are easy to customize for your own lion themed shower.

Fun jungle animals including a not too scary lion, blue elephant, spotted giraffe, hungry hippo, crazy crocodile and ready to party palm tree! Back has a repeating jungle pattern featuring the cast of safari characters.

Here’s a baby girl shower invitation featuring some jungle animals with cute flowers in their hair: a zebra, tiger, elephant and giraffe all join the party. Love the creativity!

Baby boy shower invitations

These safari animals are heading out on a hot air balloon with “It’s a boy” in the banner. So sweet!

Twin elephant safari themed invitations

Is your mom to be having twins? There are plenty of designs available for the twin theme – including these adorable baby elephants.

Jungle theme baby shower decoration ideas.

There is such a variety in jungle themes – your creativity and imagination can bring your ideas to life. Whether you’re hanging palm leaves from the ceiling or adding boho accents, you can’t go wrong with this crowd pleasing theme.

The animal prints above or those shown below can be showcased at the shower on the food table, gift table, or sprinkled around the room. Then when the shower is over, off to the nursery for the baby’s wall. This is a really inexpensive way to add cute jungle decorations throughout the shower.

An adorable stuffed animal always adds sweetness to the party – like this super cute stuffed lion . Plus he would look darling in the nursery after the shower. You can find tigers , zebras and elephants too

Safari theme welcome sign

There are plenty of welcome baby flags but this one is super cute. I love the accents on the flag and the fun animals – from My Happy Party shop on etsy.

Safari theme baby shower guest book

Greet your guests with a smile and a pen – and have them sign this adorable baby shower guest book. This sweet book gives guests the opportunity to add wishes and make predictions. It also includes a gift tracker log (great for mom!) and blank pages for notes or other mementos. Best of all, it’s less than $10!

If you’re handy with a needle and thread, these jungle animals would also be fun to decorate at the shower. You can find patterns and other beautiful fabrics with a safari theme.

These cute baby blocks will instantly add to your safari theme shower. Don’t forget the tropical balloon arch !

Safari theme balloons instantly set the tone with very little effort. These decorative balloons from evescraft at etsy include patterns for cheetah, tiger, zebra and giraffe.

Stuffed animals are always a great hit at a baby shower. I love this elephant rocking chair idea! Or you could also have a large giraffe at the entrance to really set the mood when guests arrive. Both also make great baby gifts once the wild one arrives!

Diaper cakes with a jungle theme

There are plenty of creative jungle theme diaper cakes on etsy but this one stands out for his simplicity and creativity. Another perfect accent for the popular golden safari baby showers.

It’s about to get wild! Featuring an ever so cute elephant, lion and giraffe, this diaper cake is sure to get the admiration of your guests.

So simple – safari themed food ideas!

How fun are these pretzel sticks with animal print patterns? You can find the basics on creating chocolate covered pretzels here . For the white chocolate, you’ll need some food coloring to create the giraffe, cheetah and tiger patterns. What’s even easier? Just order them from dalicakesweetshop and she will ship them to you!

This adorable tiger dip works perfectly for a jungle themed baby shower. Just cut up some red, orange and yellow peppers for the mane, arrange a few black olives for the face and crackers for the ears. You can use store bought dip or hummus – or if you’re feeling brave, you can create your own homemade hummus .

Ok – it really doesn’t get any easier than this to create a cute snack for your shower. Cheese cubes on a skewer with a little decorative jungle animal (or two) and a sign. These are poked into the side of a melon. Fun – and simple!

Love this pineapple palm tree! It looks pretty simple to do too – just stack up some pineapples (have a rod to hold them straight). Next add some palm leaves on the top. Lastly, surround the base with tropical fruit. So creative – and such a dramatic display!

Other fun food ideas for the party are:

Fruit skewers Sausage rolls Little Debbie Zebra cakes Finger sandwiches Animal crackers (make cute thank you favors as shown below)

Jungle Juice – fruity, flavorful and fun!

For drinks, what could be easier? Add some tropical fruit and ice to your water pitchers and you have instant jungle juice – perfect tropical drinks for the party. Super easy – and flavorful too!

Parties with a purpose!

Since you’re having an African theme, why not give the mom to be this so cute “ Save Elephants from Extinction ” from the Elephant Cooperation with cute mom and baby elephant. There’s also one for the kiddo with Jungle Love featuring two elephants with cute hearts. What’s more, this could be a great gift idea for the big brother or sister. Best of all, 100% of profits from the sales of the tees goes directly to protecting the gentle giants.  Buy a tshirt, save an elephant. ?

There are many more charitable organizations you can showcase at your party. I love this Wild in Africa store with beautiful bracelets. What’s more, they donate 50% of all profits to the charities such as the Wild Tomorrow Fund , the Rhino Rescue project and more!.

Thanks for coming!

This is such a cute saying on the favor tag – the sentiment is so sweet. It reads “Please light me up when you hear the news that baby Sawyer has made his debut. The flame will glow to celebrate little Sawyer’s arrival date.” It’s easy to do too … get your candle votives with lids ( or without lids ) next add some twine, punch a hole in your note card and lastly, add to your candle favors. You can customize the tags with your own wording or poem too!

The Thank You Card features the golden safari animals. What’s more, there’s plenty of room inside to add your special notes.

Hello. Can you tell me where I can get the elephant and giraffe cake toppers?

February 28, 2022 at 2:00 pm

Hi Ima! Those little cake toppers are so cute! You can find the cute toppers here.

February 9, 2023 at 3:17 pm

Do you know where I can get cutters or templates for fondant cut outs for the animals in the cake with the kangaroo?

February 11, 2023 at 2:25 pm

Hi Tracy – It appears that the templates were handmade with fondant. The cookie cutouts I’ve seen are similar – but not the same. There are a lot of cute ones out there though on etsy – you may find something you like!

How To Throw A Safari-Themed Baby Shower

Welcome to the jungle!

There’s a lot of hard work that goes into planning the perfect baby shower . Not only do you have to find a great venue and work on a guest list that everyone will be happy with, but you also have to come up with the right theme, and then stick to it... with everything. A safari- themed baby shower is a really fun idea for the mama-to-be who loves nature or animals (or both), and is even more perfect if the parents are going to be doing a safari theme for their little one’s nursery.

To throw a safari-themed baby shower that feels Pinterest-worthy, you’ll need to put a lot of thought into every little detail. I recently threw my daughter a safari-themed birthday party (2 Wild!), so I consider myself something of an expert here, OK? The good news is that the safari theme is a popular one, so there are tons of cute options out there to choose from, whether you’re looking for the best invitations, the most creative food selections, or the most fun decorations. Check out the ideas below to get started.

We only include products that have been independently selected by Romper's editorial team. However, we may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.

Safari Baby Shower Invitations

Invitations are the first step in your party planning. Picking an on-theme invitation is important because it shows everyone exactly what to expect and sets the mood. You have some options on how to go about this:

• Opt for a calligrapher . If you have the budget for it, hire a calligrapher or similar professional to make your invitations for you. This gives you the ability to help them create a totally customized invitation, and they will typically also write out the envelopes as well, so all you have to do is put them together and send them out. Keep in mind that this is the most expensive option.
• Order invitations online. Not into the custom idea? There are tons of sites online you can order invites from, and they range from very inexpensive to more premium, depending on what you’re looking for. I personally love Minted because the prices are reasonable, and they will also address your envelopes for no extra charge.
• Go the Etsy route. For an even cheaper option and something that feels more unique, look for invites on Etsy . Lots of artists make the most adorable invitations, and many of them offer the ability to download them as a PDF for a flat rate (this is usually less than $10). From there, you can get them printed at a store like Staples and send them out yourself, or print them at home.
• Do e-vites! Evites are super easy, inexpensive (or even free), convenient, and the most sustainable option. A lot of my friends use Evite.com and it works out really well. This is also the easiest way to keep track of RSVPs.

If you do want to order your invitations online, here are some of the cutest safari options.

Safari Baby Shower Centerpieces

Get creative and DIY your own centerpieces or buy them already made. Here are some ideas to take inspiration from:

A Sand-Filled Glass Jar

Buy some glass jars, sand, fake palm leaves, and gold jungle animals (like these from Etsy ). Fill the bottoms of the tall jars with sand, throw some animals in there, and add some leaves. It looks both cute and sophisticated.

Mini Diaper Cakes

These mini diaper cakes work double duty as a fun centerpiece idea and as a gift for the mama-to-be — they can unravel them and use the diapers when baby gets here. Buy them from Etsy or craft them yourself.

Palm trees are perfect for a jungle-themed party. These don’t require much else at all and they’re super easy since they don’t require any DIY.

Palm Leaves Bouquet

For something slightly more chic, get some artificial monstera leaves and put them in a slim white vase. This is simple and feels more elegant and less cutesy.

Safari Baby Shower Balloons

Balloons are an easy and relatively inexpensive way to make any room or backyard look more festive and on theme. You can either buy balloons online and blow them up yourself (just be sure to look into helium machines), or you can order them from a party store near you. I love the animal print balloons that I used at my daughter’s party (linked below), and it’s also a cute idea to get some animal-shaped ones as well. A balloon arch is always fun, and while they can take a while, they’re worth it for the photos. Or you can hire someone to make them for you!

Safari Baby Shower Signs

Signs are a cute decoration for the entrance into whatever room or venue you’re using, and they’re also fun to scatter along the various food and gift tables. Banners are also a great idea to add below a balloon arch or draped from a table.

Safari Baby Shower Decorations

You can also scatter some other decorations around the room. Think baby blocks with a safari theme (bonus points if they can be used as nursery room decor later on), small items like hand-held fans to place at the tables, or diaper cakes that are on-theme.

Safari Baby Shower Photo Backdrops

You obviously need to have a great spot for photos for social media! This is so fun for making memories and capturing images of your guests that you’ll want later on. You can do a sign with your name and date, or something a bit more general, like leafy greens that can easily be reused for photos or an event later on.

Safari Baby Shower Games

This is a baby shower, so of course you have to have games, no matter how corny it might seem. You can keep games on theme with cute decorations that go along with them. Some cute ideas: put animal crackers in a jar and get people to guess how many, match the Disney animals to their parents, and do a jungle Price is Right. You can also rely on classics like advice cards, diaper raffles, and bingo.

Safari Baby Shower Paper Goods

If the baby shower is being held at someone’s home or in an outdoor venue that requires you to provide utensils and plates and all of that, then you’ll need to have paper goods on hand. And sure, you could opt for a solid color for everything, and that’s totally fine. But it’s a little more fun to stay on theme. Opt for fun animal print napkins and plates, and Meri Meri offers this amazing line of creative plates and napkins as well.

Safari Baby Shower Party Favors

A small favor is expected at something like a baby shower, and they can be fun to pick out. You can go for something traditional and classic, like a candle or hand sanitizer (which is really popular right now), or something that feels more appropriate for the theme: think animal crackers in a bag or leopard print scrunchies.

Safari Baby Shower Dessert Ideas

Maybe the most fun part of the whole baby shower is coming up with a safari themed dessert table. If you’re planning on supplying desserts for the shower, there are tons of ideas out there for the cutest jungle animal treats.

Safari Animal Pretzel Sticks

Inspired by an image on Pinterest , I *painstakingly* made these pretzel sticks for my daughter’s safari party, and they were a hit. I chose to do tiger stripes, cheetah/leopard print, and zebra print. It’s simple, but time-consuming: dip pretzels in melted chocolate (I found orange, salted caramel, and white chocolate at the craft store near me), then add the design using melted dark or milk chocolate. I used a toothpick to create these designs, and yes, it took about as long as it sounds like it would. But I think they came out so fun! And, bonus: these also work as a good edible favor.

Monkey, Lion, & Tiger Cupcakes

Inspired by the recipes for jungle cupcakes on Chelsea’s Messy Apron , I made these lion, tiger, and monkey cupcakes. These were not as hard as they seem — I’m not a professional by any means and had no trouble doing these with my mom and aunt. They’re a little time-consuming, but completely worth it, because they were adorable — and delicious. I chose cupcakes instead of cake, but you can do both.

Chic Safari Cake Pops

You can buy these chic gold safari theme cake pops from Etsy , or you can make them yourself. These definitely look like a professional is necessary, so I recommend buying them if you’re not a pro at this kind of thing.

Jungle Theme Rice Krispie Treats

Another item you can buy from Etsy or make yourself is these jungle-themed Rice Krispie treats. You would decorate them with melted chocolate, which seems relatively simple, if not a little time-consuming. These are another item that look so cute on the dessert table, or can easily be wrapped up and sent off as edible party favors.

Jungle Cookies

Custom decorated cookies like these are always a popular option. They taste good and look so amazing. You can buy these from Etsy , or you can try creating them yourself. This palm leaf and animal set is adorable, but the options here are really endless.

Jungle Safari Themed Baby Shower Ideas

Hosting a baby shower soon? Well, you cannot go wrong with a jungle safari-themed baby shower as a unique and exciting way to welcome the upcoming arrival of your little cub. Imagine a whimsical atmosphere filled with vibrant hues, exotic animals, and wild adventures. It is the perfect way to honor your own little adventurer while creating memories that will last a lifetime. We will get into the world of jungle safari baby showers and provide you with all the tips and ideas you need to throw a roaring success. From invitations to favors, get ready to embark on a wild journey with us and plan a truly unforgettable baby shower. So, grab your safari hats, and let's dive in!

Jungle Safari Baby Shower Invitations

Before you can start picking your decorations and games, there's one element that needs to be checked off your list: the baby shower invitation. While it may seem like a small detail in the grand scheme of things, the invitation sets the tone for the entire event. Choosing the perfect safari invitation for your baby shower is essential as it gives guests a glimpse of what's to come. First things first, think about the overall aesthetic you want to achieve. Do you want to feature cute safari animals or a more elegant and sophisticated motif with muted colors and intricate patterns? Make sure it matches the decorations you will have at the party.

The most important part of a safari-themed invitation is the design. You can pick from adorable lion cubs to majestic giraffes and cheeky monkeys. You can even make it special by adding a photo of the expecting parents in safari clothes or a fun pun or quote that goes with the theme. Then, consider the type of invitation you want to send out. A traditional paper invitation can add a touch of elegance, while an electronic invitation is a more eco-friendly and convenient option. Whichever route you choose, ensure it is easy to read and includes all the vital information, such as the date, time, location, and RSVP details.

Jungle Safari Baby Shower Games

As you prepare for your safari baby shower, you may find yourself stuck on which games to include. While traditional baby shower games are always a hit, why not take it up a notch and add a touch of jungle and excitement? With a safari theme, you have a wide range of options to choose from. One idea is to have game templates with a jungle safari motif, such as a safari-themed Diaper Raffle or Guess the Birthdate. Not only will this tie in perfectly with the theme, but it will also add a bit of challenge and variety to the games.

Other interactive activities include a safari scavenger hunt, where you hide baby-themed items around the party venue and have guests compete to see who can find the most items. You can also set up a station for guests to craft their safari-inspired baby shower favors. Provide materials like animal print paper, stickers, and ribbons for guests to decorate their bookmarks or magnets. This not only adds a personal touch to the event but also allows guests to take home a unique and memorable keepsake from the baby shower.

Transport your guests to a jungle safari adventure with tropical decorations that will give a fully immersive experience. Imagine stepping into a lush tropical rainforest surrounded by vibrant greenery and the sounds of exotic animals. To achieve this, hang leafy garlands from the ceiling and drape them over tables and chairs. Create a jungle canopy by attaching strands of faux vines overhead. For an added touch of authenticity, scatter potted plants throughout the space. You can also incorporate animal figurines into your decorations to give your guests the feeling of being in the wild. Place them strategically throughout the space, on tables, shelves, and even hanging from branches.

For a fun twist, use animal print tablecloths or rugs to add a touch of safari flare to your party. Another impressive way to infuse tropical decorations into your party space is with a balloon decoration. Use green and gold balloons to construct a stunning balloon garland or arch that mimics the dense landscape of a tropical jungle. This will add visual interest to your space and offer a fun and interactive element for your guests to enjoy. They can take pictures under the arch or even walk under it as they enter the jungle safari adventure. Don’t forget a welcome sign that will greet your guests by the entrance of your venue.

Jungle Safari Baby Shower Menu

(IG Photo Credit: sallysbakeblog )

The next thing you have to plan out for your safari baby shower is your menu. From incorporating safari animal shapes into your dishes to using exotic ingredients, there are countless ways to infuse the theme into your food choices. But before that, you need to consider a few key factors. First and foremost, think about the time of day and duration of your event. For a daytime shower, lighter fare like mini quiches, finger sandwiches, and fruit skewers may be more suitable, while a dinner event may call for heartier dishes, such as grilled meats and vegetables or a pasta station. Also, think of the length of your shower and remember to plan enough food to keep your guests satisfied throughout the event.

(IG Photo Credit: chefmoses_ )

Next, think about your budget and the number of guests. It is always a good idea to offer various choices to accommodate different dietary preferences, but be realistic about what you can afford. You can make some items yourself and purchase ready-made options for others to save time and money. When it comes to quantity, the safest plan is to prepare for one or two servings per person, depending on the type of dish. Aside from the food itself, the presentation can add to the overall experience of your safari baby shower. You can use animal print tablecloths or add small stuffed animals to the serving trays.

(IG Photo Credit: glitterandgraze )

Now, let's get to the fun part - the menu itself! Start with the basics and add a creative twist to make each dish fit the theme. For appetizers, you can't go wrong with a cheese platter shaped like a giraffe or a fruit plate formed to look like a lion's face. For the main course, serve up a hearty and flavorful African stew or a tropical fruit salad in a carved-out pineapple. For dessert, fill your table with a selection of animal-shaped cookies or a cake with a safari landscape design. And don't forget about refreshing drinks like hibiscus tea or a mango lassi to keep your guests hydrated and satisfied.

Jungle Safari Baby Shower Favors

As the party winds down and everyone starts to say their goodbyes, it's the perfect time to start handing out the favors you carefully prepared. These little tokens of appreciation are a way to show your guests that their presence was not only requested but truly valued. Think outside the box and opt for something special and unexpected. If you want to provide different safari-inspired favors, you can put up a table where guests can take whichever gift they want. You can include jungle-themed cookies, soaps, hand sanitizers, keychains, and other practical gifts. Your guests will feel truly appreciated when they see the effort and consideration put into these baby shower favors.

Jungle Safari Baby Shower

Jungle Safari Baby Shower by Lacey of  Lacey Cakes  

This is one of the most brilliantly designed Jungle Safari themed baby shower that I have ever seen! From the earth-toned tablecloths to the safari animals surrounded by foliage, this beautifully done shower has been executed with care. The backdrop, tablecloths, decorations are all demonstrated with flair.

The dessert table is gender neutral with its mix of browns, greens, yellows, blues and grays. I love the nicely crafted personalized banner of twisting vines and blowing leaves with smiling monkey faces. This adorable banner reads the little baby’s name.

Each piece that is on the table itself is amazing. There are palm trees that are made from tall, clear thin vases filled with brown gumballs and leafy fronds. They are set at each end of the table with a beautiful backdrop of green paper streamers with several dark and leafy vines. The idea of using a large leaf as a place mat for some of the treats I thought was perfect.

Some of my favorite treats are banana-shaped cookies sitting onto a leaf-shaped serving platter and the dipped marshmallow pops. They look like Marshmallow roasting sticks for the bonfire!

What can I say about the cupcakes! The jungle animals in both their 2D and 3D make their appearance on scrumptious cupcakes. I absolutely love the custom made cupcake stand. The use of the paper leaves was a brilliant idea! Even the baking cups were kept with the theme with various animal prints on them.

When to Throw a Jungle Baby Shower

The ideal season to throw a jungle baby shower would be late spring and summer, especially if you’re able to organize the event outdoors. You’re already surrounded by green, so you can often use the natural landscape as a decoration in and of itself. 

Jungle-themed baby showers aren’t just for the summer months, however. If you happen to live in a warmer climate all year round, you’re not really limited by the season!

After all, a region that’s more like a desert (think Arizona or New Mexico) would be the perfect place for a jungle safari-themed party. 

We always say that it comes down to what the expecting momma wants. If she’s set on a jungle baby shower in the dead of winter, you bet you’re going to make that happen for her!

Example Party Schedule

While you don’t have to have a schedule for a baby shower, we like to have a general idea of what will happen throughout the day.

Here’s a sample schedule for a fall baby shower:

1-1:30 pm – Guests arrive and mingle

1:30 – 2 pm – Shower Hostess says a few words and outlines what to expect with when you’re planning food, games and gift opening. This would also be a good time to do a warm up game, like our favorite baby scavenger hunt. This game can help other guests meet each other. If you’re doing a diaper raffle, we recommend introducing it at this time so guests have time to drop off their gift and fill out any raffle entries.

2 – 3 pm – Food and drinks are available

3-4 pm – Baby shower gift opening and diaper raffle. We like to sprinkle raffle prizes in between gifts to keep guests engaged and entertained.

If you’re having part of your shower virtual, this is a great time to have guests log into Zoom!

4-5 pm – Final games and goodbyes

I hosted this Jungle Themed Baby Shower for one of my friends who was having her first baby. It was so much fun celebrating her and her new baby.

First things first, pick your Theme, colors and then choose your invitations. Get the guest list from the mother to be and contact info for everyone.

I used some printables that I found on Etsy that made the decor, invitations, and everything related easy as well as so adorable. There are so many great ways to make or buy customizable invitations nowadays.

I loved that these printables were easy to customize. Here are the items I ordered and then took them to the UPS store and had them printed out on card stock and other papers.

• Water Bottle Labels
• Welcome Sign
• Cake Topper
• Centerpiece
• Cupcake Toppers
• Baby Banner
• Animal Cracker Game Sign/Cards them on Etsy

For the decorations, I used jungle leaves that I bought from the party store (you can get them on amazon too) and layered them under the desserts on the serving table and on my island where I served the food.

I catered sandwiches and soup from a local grocery store which made hosting so much easier.

I have made all the food for other showers I’ve hosted in the past but this one I decided to order the food ahead of time since I was short on time to prepare.

Make sure if you do this, you give plenty of notice to whoever or wherever you cater it from.

Because this was on a Saturday and mid day, I decided to do soup and sandwiches.

I also had fruit and veggie trays, and fresh rustic bread from the bakery.

I served water in the water bottles and then also made my Pink Party Punch which is always a hit.

For dessert, I had cupcakes and used the cupcake toppers on those and I had my friend, The Blonde Who Bakes , make a jungle themed cake and macarons in the color of the baby shower theme colors. I also had some custom sugar cookies made by a local cookie artist. Are these not the cutest jungle themed cookies? Everyone loved them!

I asked the Mom to be what her favorite cake and macaron flavors were and those were what I had my friend make!

I served lunch on my kitchen island buffet style and this works great so everyone can serve themselves and it’s more informal which is what I prefer! I want everyone to feel welcome in my home!

I set a simple jungle themed tablescape using some faux olive branches and garlands and set the table with some green dinnerware.

For the games we played the Animal Cracker game and a few others I can’t recall. It’s been a year since I hosted this and am finally getting this up on the blog! Forgive me for not remembering the other games. (I’m pretty sure I delegated that to the mom to be’s other friends so that’s why I can’t remember)

Speaking of delegating, I highly recommend delegating to others that offer to help or want to be involved in celebrating the arrival of a new baby!

I always find that everyone wants to help so include everyone that offers if you want help! It makes people feel a part of the celebration and who doesn’t love celebrating a new baby and mother to be!

You can also set up a table with a sign that says “gifts” so everyone knows where to set their gifts down.

I also included a note in the invitation on where the mom to be was registered and also offered an option to contribute to a group gift so we could purchase some larger items that would be helpful for the first time parents.

Overall this was a wonderful celebration of my sweet friend Kim, (I call her Kimmy) and she’s like another daughter to me. I love celebrating every baby and mother and this one was extra special to be a part of!
