Prince Baby Shower Theme Ideas
In the case that the mom-to-be knows that she will be having a baby boy, why not consider a prince baby shower theme?
Invitations
There are a number of commercially available baby shower invitations, usually classified as “sweet prince” invitations. However, for those looking for a more personal option, use an exacto knife to cut a piece of shiny gold card stock into a crown shape. Glue on some crown jewels to the front, and write the party information on the other side in Calligraphy.
Decorations
For centerpieces, an easy idea is to start with a royal-colored wide candle. Place a crown around it, wrap with tulle, and tie with a pretty ribbon. Or, leave the tulle and ribbon off and leave as is. A simple cardboard drawbridge at the door sets the stage immediately for a prince baby shower theme. Sprinkle tables with gems and baubles. Make your own knight in shining armor by taping tin foil on the clothing of a large doll, and prop in the corner. Make flags out of different colors of felt and hang on the walls and from the ceiling. No royal room is complete without a throne. Cover a regular chair with some plush luxury red fabric. Add golden colored rope as well as a crown and you are good to go!
Games and Activities
Baby shower games are half the fun to any baby shower. One easy game is tossing crowns onto baby bottles. Simply fill the baby bottles with something relatively heavy, such as candy. Another activity is to give each guest a long balloon (or two) and see who can make the best balloon sword or crown. One silly and fun activity to pretend to joust. When two “knights” are equipped with bike helmets, balloon swords, cardboard shields, and hobby horses, have the “princess” (mom-to-be) drop a hanky. The object of the game is to break the other person’s “lance” or knock it out of their hand.
Prizes and Favors
The candle/crown centerpieces can easily double as prizes. Favors can consist of gold and silver costume jewelry, chocolate gold coins, crown shaped soap, and crown candles. These would be perfect placed inside a carriage favor container.
Food
Luncheon sandwiches cut into the shapes of castles are in keeping with a prince baby shower theme. There are number of cake pans in castle shapes- enlist the help of an artistic friend to icing and decorate the finished cake. Or, use a crown-shaped cake mold, add yellow icing, and decorate with edible “jewels.” Sugar cookies shaped like crowns are perfect for this theme. Also, fondue with fresh fruits is a decadent option as well. In regards to drinks, a large punch bowl with edible flowers frozen in a ring of ice adds a special touch. Or, “royal champagne” (sparkling water with fruit juice) in champagne flutes adds another royal touch for a toast to the mom-to-be.
A prince baby shower theme is perfect for any expecting mother that is eagerly awaiting the arrival of her special prince. By following the above tips, you can host the party of the season!
