Boy Baby Shower IdeasDecorations Decorating for a baby boy shower should center around "baby boy" colors. First ask the mother if she is doing her nursery in a certain color scheme. Not all parents decorate in the normal blue for boys or pink for girls. A boys room might be done in blacks and browns. Or blue and brown, or purple or green. If she has a certain color, make the shower colors to match. If she has a certain theme, make the shower theme to match. Cowboy, dinosaur, Winnie-the-Pooh, Mickey Mouse, Thomas the Train, Toy Story, etc. Use balloons and streamers to give it a fun festive appearance. Use "baby" favors of pacifiers and baby spoons and vintage diaper pins. Make a centerpiece for the main table out of flowers in the color, then add to it pieces to match her nursery theme, such as a small stuffed dinosaur, or a Tigger, or whatever.

"Nursery will be in dark blue and white with dinosaurs", that way people can give theme appropriate gifts. If the mom is in need of certain items, it's okay to add a list of needed items in the invitation. Of course there are always gift registries, which you can state in the invite "Registered at This Store". There are "diaper/wipe" showers too if it's a mom of more than one child and really has no need of extra baby things. Be sure to have a table that is specified just for shower gifts to sit. Games Baby shower games are always fun. One of the oldest games is the toilet paper game. Have each guest to pull off the amount of tissue they think will perfectly fit around the pregnant mom. The one closest to the measurement wins. There's the clothes pin game. Give everyone one clothes pin. Pick a "word" that if the word is said out loud the person that first hears the word can steal the pin. Normally it's words like "baby" or similar. Make it a word that will be centered around having a baby, so it will be hard to not say it. At the end, the person with the most pins win. There's the baby items on a tray game. Put some random baby items on a small tray, like pacifier, diaper, thermometer, baby spoon, etc, and pass the tray around. Put the tray away and have everyone write down the items that were on the tray. The person that got all the items right wins.Be sure to have a few good shower gifts for the winners of the games. Things like scented lotions, candles, costume jewelry, etc makes good 'shower winner' gifts. Just place them in a gift bag with tissue paper to make it festive. Food A good boy baby shower should have a nice cake that reflects the theme and color of the shower. Find out the mom's favorite cake flavor and decorate it to match the theme of the shower. Have finger foods such as little sandwiches, melon balls, cookies, mints, nuts, chips or party mix, displayed on another table along with paper plates, plastic forks and napkins to match the shower theme. Have a big bowl of fruit punch (in the mom's favorite flavor) for the drink. Have some small bottles of water on ice too for those who may prefer water. This is a scrumptious baby shower treat to make - you can alter the colors to match any cute theme or color scheme. Click on the picture to see more.  Jodie, from Party NV made these cuties
