Baby Shower Tableware
There’s nothing more exciting than sharing a friend or family member’s joy at expecting a new baby! You want to be there for support, to help her in any way you can, and you want to throw her the perfect surprise baby shower. It can become frustrating when you’re trying to make sure you have everything right, and keep it all a secret. Here are some great tips to help you throw the perfect surprise baby shower.
Have a co-conspirator!
You should enlist the help of someone close to the Mom to be, like the Dad to be, or perhaps a Grandma to be. They can be invaluable when it comes to certain things. For example, they would know what day would be perfect for the shower, and who or who not to invite. They can also give you inside tips as to what the mom might need for the baby, or what she already has. They will be able to help you get phone numbers and addresses for people to invite from both sides of the family.
Enlist the help of a few friends!
Keeping things organized and getting everything ready can be tiresome, but a few girlfriends to help you will lessen the stress on you, and keep things fun. You could assign different tasks to each one of you. For example, one person could be in charge of mailing the invitations and handling the confirmations. They could assemble the final confirmed guest list so that you know exactly how much food to buy, how many seats to have, and how big of a place you will need for the shower.
Another friend could take care of shopping for the party, buying tableware, napkins, food, a cake, decorations, and gifts for the winners of the shower games. (Make sure to get a few extra gifts in case of a tie!) This would leave you free for other tasks, such as assembling the items you will need for the games, wrapping the gifts, finding the right place for the shower, and any other extras you want to include at the shower.
On the day of the shower, you could also get these friends to help prepare the food, set up, and decorate.
Games!
When you have a baby shower, you’ve got to have games. There are a few favorites that you may want to include in the surprise baby shower you are throwing.
Dirty Diaper…Get enough napkins for each one of the guests, including mom to be, to be able to pick one. Fold the napkins in half, and then over again. Squirt a bit of mustard on one of the napkins and fold it. Place the napkins in a basket and let each guest put their hand in and pick a napkin. Whoever picks the ‘dirty diaper’ wins a gift!
Guessing game…Purchase a lot of small baby items such as pacifiers or baby booties and place them in a jar after you’ve counted them. Have the guests try and guess how many there are. Whoever comes closest wins a gift.
Don’t say Baby….Inform the guests at the proper time that they can’t say ‘baby.’ At the end of the party, whoever is left that hasn’t said baby wins a prize!
The most important thing about a surprise baby shower is that you, the guests and the mom to be have a great time. These ideas will help you pull off a smooth, exciting and fun surprise shower!

Does anyone know where i can find baby zanzibar themed shower tableware?
I’m having a baby shower for my sister and her baby room is in the Baby Zanzibar theme. She would love it if I could do the baby shower in teh Baby Zanzibar theme as well. But I can’t find tableware and decorations. Any ideas?
You will have a hard time finding plates in that theme….Kidsline doesn’t make actual shower supplies.
HOWEVER….safari is always a fun shower theme and I have some really good ideas that will carry the theme home like you want:
MICHAELS has wooden two dimensional wooden animals in their craft department. They have the turtles, lions, zebras, giraffes, alligators….pre-painted and everything. They large ones (about three inches across) run 50cents each but sometimes go on sale for a bit less. The smaller ones (about an inch across) run about 25 cents each. Get a lot of those and you can decorate all sorts of things (hot glue guns are a wonder.) After the shower…momma to be can decorate baby’s room with them (she could use them as a border accent, make a cool nightlight with one, fashion them to some pegs and have a neat Wall Quilt hanger, etc.)
You could use these figures to make placecard holders on the table if it is a sit-down meal at the shower, too!!
Target has great stuffed animals that run about $5.00 for a medium sized one. You could use safari themed animals all around to decorate, too!! Once again…the parents get to take these home to decorate the nursery!! Babies R Us also has great animals (a bit more pricey) and they also have wonderful plush rattles and wrist rattles towards the front of the store (in wooden display shelves). So don’t forget to take a look at those, too!
Zanzibar is a kind of muted pattern so you will find, instead, a lot of BRIGHTLY colored safari items, instead. But don’t forget that a role of the coordinating wall paper (border) can go a long way too. You can use that to decorate the guest book or advice book for the guests. You can somehow fashion that to make a table runner or buffet runner, too! You can cut out some of the animals from a role of that and frame them to hang up during the shower too (use inexpensive frames).
A diaper cake centerpiece done in this theme….a nice one created with the Zanzibar theme. I know this sounds like a ruthless plug….but just think of a 4 or 5 tier cake made with the coordinating receiving blankets, giraffe topper, safari animal wrist rattles, custom onesie front and center also with a safari animal…..and that great Zanzibar Fleece blanket, customized with baby’s name embroidered on it, with the giraffe cuddling it!! THAT could be done with Size 2 diapers and it could decorate the nursery, afterwards, until baby fits into those diapers!!
A clothesline could be strung up and safari-themed clothing items could be pegged to it. Think of all the wonderful onesies and shirts with the themed layette attached!! Once again you could use those wooden animals to decorate the clothes line, too!!
Just remember that you can always find Kidsline items less expensive at non-Babies R Us sites. You can find them on Ebay (new!) and Amazon…just google Zanzibar and you can find a lot of discount websites selling these items!!
Have fun……and know that I would truly be delighted to create a truly custom diaper cake for this!! I simply love working with the Kidsline themed nursery decors (my own child had the Malawi theme…which was also safari but in a different color scheme!)
Safari is one of my all time favorite themes!!! I wish I was throwing a safari themed shower now…..
Another great place to shop for Baby Shower Tableware products is Amazon. They have more than just books!
