BABY SHOWER THANKSGIVING THEME

If you have your baby shower during the Thanksgiving season works out very well as for planning baby shower themes, decorations and supplies. A few ideas are to use the theme of "giving thanks", by having everyone say what they are thankful for. It is also a great time to give by having everyone donate to a charity of less fortunate people, especially to a single mother's or children's organization. A cute baby shower idea is to have everyone sign a Thanksgiving theme board (i.e., in the shape of a cornucopia, turkey, pilgrim, fall colors, etc on the board) and give the parent's to be so ideas that would be helpful for their preparing for their little one.

Symbolic candy, including candy corns, miniature pumpkin candies, and fall colored candy are great to place on tables of the baby shower. Serving finger food out of Cornucopia's (the horn looking container that is symbolic of thanksgiving) as well as spreading colorful leaves and flowers (sunflowers) on tables is a nice touch. The pumpkin theme is still cute and works for Thanksgiving as well as Halloween. Finding pumpkins that are symbolic of a mother, father and child is a cute idea. You an even decorate the pumpkins which is always a conversation piece.

Food that you serve can also tie in such as little finger food turkey sandwiches, ham, corn, cranberries/cranberry juice. Baby shower decorations can be purchased or created for the Thanksgiving season as well as cups, place settings and other items. The use of brown, gold, orange, red, black and yellow is festive for the November season. Dried leaves can also be cleaned and used as decorations. Pass the baby pumpkin (like hot potato) can be played.

Wall decorations can be Thanksgiving related, with the use of pilgrims, pumpkin cut-outs, Indian feathers, turkey, and fall symbols. Items can be placed on tables for the baby shower guests to enjoy! A great baby shower game to play is to have everyone write a message for the mother and father to be on cut out pumpkins, cornucopias, leaves or pilgrim hats and present them to the parent's-to-be by placing them in a keepsake box shaped like a cornucopia. Have the mother-to-be read each one out loud as she takes them out of the box which makes for a sentimental and fun time.

A cute idea is to purchase pumpkins and place a smaller pumpkin in the larger hollowed-out pumpkin to symbolize the pregnancy! Dress the "mommy" pumpkin up for the baby shower and it will be sure to get some laughs from the baby shower guests!'
