Jungle themes are not necessarily new, but they tend to be used for boy showers. Do not let this scare you away from a jungle theme for a baby girl. Many jungle characters have a more cartoonish feel, which means there can be pink tigers and purple leopards. Use pink and purple table settings, with jungle animals as centerpieces. Use medium-sized stuffed animals, such as tigers and leopards, as balloon weights on the corner of the gift and food tables.
A jungle safari theme is a safe bet for a boy baby shower theme. Suspend plush animals from “vines” around the house and from the ceiling. Use bright greens, dark browns, and vibrant gold accents for tablecloths, napkins, and cups. Artificial trees with white mini lights or topiaries around the celebration area are a great decorating accent.
Decorate with inflatable jungle animals. You can find inexpensive ones at Oriental Trading Company online.
Using Solid color party supplies can really help make the "Queen of the Jungle" themed items "pop" in terms of impact and design. Use lime green, classic pink, light yellow and brown balloons, streamers, cutlery, and accessories to put that professional finish on your shower decorations.
Plan to have activities and a craft set up in rotating stations. This will help the children to keep moving and not become bored. One activity idea is to play "Pin the Tail on the Monkey." Print out a picture of a monkey and cut off his tail. Make enough copies of his tail for the number of children invited to the party. Hang the monkey on a wall and have children take turns trying to pin on his tail (using tape works just fine) while blindfolded. Hand out a prize to the winner.
Serve animal snacks. Snacks for the party can be lots of fruits, especially bananas that monkeys are known to love. Also have animal crackers, and serve fruit punch as a drink. For a heavier snack, offer sandwiches cut with animal shaped cookie cutters, tiger balls (round cheese doodles), or pigs in a blanket (hot dogs).
