Having a baby is an exciting time; you get to start planning for an addition to your family, as well as planning your baby shower! Baby showers are extremely fun for the parent and the guests, and there are many great themes for baby showers available.
Regardless if this is your first, second, or 14th baby shower you are planning, it’s always a good idea to find some original themes for a baby shower. A rockstar baby shower can be fun, edgy, and completely rockin! First off, you will want to find a great venue for the shower. You should coordinate the size of the venue according to how large the group of people you are inviting is. If you have a large group look into renting a conference room in a hotel or even a room in a local venue that has a live rock band playing. If the group is small you can host the party at your home, or the home of one of your friends. The best thing about this kind of baby shower is that it can be co-ed; you can invite everyone, guys and gals.
Next you will want to choose a color scheme according to the gender of the baby, there are many rockstar baby shower themes that are gender neutral for those of you that want to keep the baby’s gender a surprise. If it’s a girl you can choose colors like hot pink, black, silver, and purple. For boys you can go with colors like electric blue, red, grey, black, or hot pink and purple. (Yes, its rock and roll to wear those colors now!) You can find some cheap old vinyl records at a thrift store to use as invitations or place holders for your guests, or even as decoration around the room. Set up the baby shower with table cloths in a certain color, and contrasting decorations. You can find miniature rock instruments at many party stores, which would make great table toppers, or if you have relatives that play instruments you may be able to convince them to let you hang their real rock and roll equipment around the party. Make sure you have plenty of snacks and finger food available, especially for the mom to be! Plan on having a variety of food that everyone in the party can enjoy. You can get a custom cake with rockstar decorations for an awesome desert.
Now let’s talk about entertainment! You will want to have some fun activities that everyone can participate in including the expecting mother. Karaoke is always a party favorite, and adds to the rock and roll feel of the baby shower. I think this would be a fun game to play: find and print out a large amount of pictures of rockstars, and have the guests try to guess who the person is and what band they are in, make a mixed CD of all of the bands that you featured in the game and give them out as prizes.
Baby showers are all about spoiling the baby, so find some great rockstar gifts for the little one. Many places online sell unique and alternative rockstar baby clothing. You can search for cool one piece with rock inspired graphics and other edgy clothing. Some shops even offer clothing for mom and dad that match!
A lot of planning goes into a rockstar baby shower, but the outcome will be one to remember for ages! Make sure you have the red carpets rolled out and your paparazzi ready to capture some great photos for your future rockstar!
