Throwing the Perfect Princess Baby Shower

Everyone has been to the typical baby shower, with the same favors, games, and food. For the special mom-to-be in your life, why not consider throwing a more memorable shower for her and her soon-to-be little princess? Princess-themed baby showers are one of the most creative, fun and unique ways to truly “shower” the mom-to-be with the royal treatment.

Planning

In planning your princess baby shower, you want to remember that your focus is on the princess-to-be, and in celebrating everything that will make her special and unique. There are a few fun ways to do this. You can center your party around “princesses” in general, you can choose a specific princess that most reminds you of her, or you can roll out the full royal treatment and treat each guest as her own princess (or prince, if you choose to have boys/men involved as well). Having one of these specific objectives in mind as you are planning, will help to create a more memorable experience for all the guests.

All the Royal Elements

“Girls” of all ages will enjoy this theme with fun elements such as princess invitations, favors, place cards, decorations, food, games and gift ideas. And best of all, you don’t need to look far to find all of the items you need.

Announcing the theme to your guests is the best way to generate excitement for the party! Create the perfect distinction with the right princess themed invitations. Then, in the invitation, be sure to clarify to your guests if the “princess-to-be” has any special requests for her “subjects”, such as a princess wishing well gift, or special prince/princess attire!

Princess-themed favors can be as simple or elaborate as you want, and there is no shortage of selection to choose from. Again, consider these from the perspective of your objective of the party. If you are treating each guest as her own princess, small tiaras or crowns at each place setting would be a fun surprise! You can even personalize each one with the guests name and use them as your place cards! Or for a more general princess theme, you could consider these adorable baby carriage favors and place card holders.

The decorations for a princess baby shower may be one of the most enjoyable parts of the planning. There are so many beautiful ways to prepare the perfect princess setting, without overspending. Consider highlighting areas of the room, such as the entryway with a star curtain, and add princess balloons to every corner. Guests can receive ribbon wands as they enter, or to guide them to their tables. And the tables themselves would be perfectly suited for royalty with the princess castle centerpieces and princess tiara tea lights. Of course, for the ultimate in luxury, consider going all out for the princess with the ultimate party package!

You can have a lot of fun with food selection for this type of party as well. Among other ideas, food can be themed by the princess’ favorite color. For instance, for food themed in pink, you could consider salmon as your main course, and strawberry pound cake, or pink cookies for dessert. Keep your imagination open and you are sure to have fun with it, whether you consider making your own food or desserts, or are looking for ideas to give your own baker. And remember, the classic princess party cake is always a sure hit!

As far as entertainment goes, consider making your own princess trivia game (either based around the princess-to-be, or existing princesses, like the Disney princesses). There are also many great suggestions for games online.

Lastly, you’ll want to surprise the mom-to-be and her little princess with the perfect baby gift. Among the favorites, are a fabulous diaper cake, personalized gift sets and beautiful personalized jewelry. For a fantastic selection of a variety of other items, check out these baby gifts.

With all the great resources available, throwing the perfect princess baby shower is not difficult at all. Your guests will enjoy a memorable day, and the mom-to-be will truly indulge in the royal treatment she deserves.
