Ideas For A Noah's Ark Baby Shower One of the most popular choices for showers, a Noah's Ark baby shower is both fun to plan and attend! If Mom is expecting a bouncing baby boy she plans to name Noah, if she is an animal lover, or if she is planning to decorate the nursery in an ark theme, the choice of this shower theme is a no brainer. If Mom is expecting twins, the Noah's Ark two by two concept works great as well! In this post, I give you ideas for the invitations, baby shower food, decorations, gifts and even baby shower party favors for your guests. Throw the best Noah's Ark baby shower ever by following some of these tips! Your guests will be talking about how much fun they had for months to come. Noah's Ark Themed Invitations For the invitations, you have several options and your choice will most likely be influenced by your budget and time schedule. If you are throwing an upscale shower and you are running a bit short on time, the best option will likely be fully customized invitations that have an ark theme such as the Noah's ark baby shower invitations shown in the photograph. This type of invite can be customized with all of the shower details and will arrive at your doorstep ready for mailing. The second more affordable option are the fill-in type invites that feature a Noah's Ark design on the outside and then blank lines on the inside where you must hand-write all the shower details such as the time, date, location, RSVP information, etc. While these invitations are more affordable, the process is much more time consuming as you must write the details inside each and every invite... this can take a long time for large showers. Finally, if you are crafty and have some time on your hands, creating your very own one-of-a-kind baby shower invitations is a great option. You can create them on the computer using a program like MS publisher with clip art to achieve the desired Noah's ark theme. Alternatively, you can use construction paper or brown paper bags along with your creativity to make ark-shaped invitations with all the shower details. In either case, you can look around online for a clever verse to put on the invites. For twins, consider something like: "All creatures large and small came two by two and so are [mommy-to-be's name]'s little two! Please join us for a twins baby shower!" Noah's Ark Tableware & Decor Many online shops and party supply stores sell Noah's Ark themed shower supplies. However you can also create many decorations on your own that tie in perfectly with this baby shower theme. For instance, gather up all the stuffed animals in your home (and ask your friends for their animals too) and then place them all around the shower area in pairs (remember the two by two concept especially if the shower is for twins). You can also use pairs of animal balloons and pairs of cardboard animal cut-outs that you either buy or make yourself all around the room and on the walls. Buy additional latex balloons and streamers that tie in with the color scheme of the party. I suggest that you buy at least a few of the many Noah's ark themed tableware supplies such as plates and/or napkins and then use those items as inspiration for the party color scheme. The Noah's Ark baby shower tableware shown in the photograph is available on our website! I found instructions for creating some adorable animal-balloons with faces made of tissue paper at MarthaStewart.com. They would be perfect for a Noah's Ark themed shower. For table centerpieces, how about cutting out cardboard and forming it to create a boat/ark shape? You can fill it with snacks and/or small toy animals (in sets of two of course). Another centerpiece option is a Noah's Ark themed diaper cake that is constructed mostly of size 1 brand name diapers... what Mom wouldn't love getting diapers as a gift?? The great thing about diaper cakes is that they do double-duty as the shower gift and centerpiece. Noah's Ark Food Ideas Use these creative food and dessert ideas to tie in the Noah's Ark theme! No shower is complete without a bowl of punch for guests to drink. Rainbow colors are the perfect choice so why not try this Rainbow Punch recipe.
