Bringing Baby to Shore: A Guide to Sailor Themed Baby Shower Decorations
Let’s set sail, and bring baby home with a sailor themed baby shower. This style of baby shower can provide a unique atmosphere for the mom-to-be and her guests. From nautical decorations to sailor-inspired menu items, this guide will help you bring the ship to shore and make your sailor themed baby shower a success.
Decorations
One of the best things about a sailor themed baby shower is the decorations. There are so many ways to bring the nautical life to your party. Start by choosing a few colors for your theme, like navy and white, or blue and yellow.
You can also find a variety of decorations at stores, such as anchor and ship wheel wall hangings, sailor hats, and even sailboat centerpieces. You can also make your own decorations, like paper lanterns in the shape of a ship, or a banner with the phrase “Ahoy, Baby!”
Menu
No sailor themed baby shower is complete without a delicious menu of nautical dishes. Start with a simple seafood appetizer, like crab cakes or oysters. You can also make a traditional fish dish, like shrimp scampi or baked salmon.
Don’t forget about the sweets! You can make a cake shaped like a boat or find a bakery that can design one for you. You can also make cupcakes with blue frosting and add a few edible decorations, such as anchor-shaped sprinkles or a sailboat cookie.
Activities
A sailor themed baby shower can have plenty of activities for the guests to enjoy. You can have a game of “pin the anchor on the boat,” or a treasure hunt for “pirate booty.” You can also have a “name the baby” contest, or a “guess the baby’s birthdate” game.
Whatever activities you choose, your guests will be sure to have a blast.
Favors
At the end of the shower, be sure to give out a few small favors to thank your guests. You can find sailor themed favors, like pint-sized anchor ornaments, or make some yourself. You can also give out pirate-inspired snacks, like gummy gold coins or chocolate coins.
No matter what type of favors you choose, your guests will be sure to appreciate the thought.
