We have some tips that will help you in choosing a baby boy shower theme that will impress the mother to be as well as give a nudge to the dad’s ego. Baby blue decorations and invitations with the simple announcement “It’s a Boy” printed or handwritten across the front will always be appropriate and stylish.
However, there are ways to incorporate the traditional look seen at
baby boy showers
of the past with modern themes that will give your festivities a fresh new look. One that is more personalized to the lifestyle of today’s family. Choosing a boy’s baby shower theme can be as easy as finding out how the nursery is decorated or what sports the daddy to be played in high school or college. Or for that matter, the theme might be based on what the family enjoys doing in their leisure time.
BABY BOY SHOWER THEMES ACCORDING TO NURSERY DESIGN
If you have not already done so, a trip to your friend’s home to admire the nursery may be advisable.
Farming Theme - If she has her baby boy’s room decorated with farm animals perhaps a John Deere baby shower would be nice. Tractors and toy farm sets would make an excellent and inexpensive centerpiece for the gift table.
Jungle Theme - Pay close attention to which jungle animals seem to be most prominent in the room and follow through with your shower decorations
Cowboy baby shower – Bales of hay, checkered table cloths and other wild western motifs will guarantee that all have a rip roaring good time at the party
NASCAR shower – Black and white flags and racecars big and small set the tone for this shower
SPORTS and HOBBIES
Dads like to think their baby boys will grow up to be just like them. They dream of the day that they will play the same sports that they played in school and will take up the same hobbies. This is a great place to pick up boy baby shower ideas if daddy will be attending the festivities. You should have no trouble finding tableware and decorations to reflect any of these recommendations.

BEST BOY BABY SHOWER COLORS
The modern rule of thumb when it comes to a baby boy shower color scheme is that anything goes. If you choose a sports theme, the team colors are the way to go. Farming themes in classic John Deere green will beat powder blue any day. Pastel blue is classic and traditional and many feel anything else is a letdown. If you feel the need to take this route, add some other colors into the mix to jazz it up a bit.
Some hostesses will tell you that when dads began to be seen at girl and baby boy showers, the task of planning got more complicated. The themes had to be appealing to both men and women where previously there was little distinction between showers for baby boys and girls other than color. I hope that our recommendations will help take the mystery and complexity out of planning a baby boy’s shower the next time you are called upon to be hostess.
