Are Sophisticated Baby Shower Themes More Your Style? 

You’ve come to the right place for upscale or sophisticated baby shower themes. Book baby shower, Pamper Mom baby shower, Tea Party baby shower, and more!

This is one type of theme where you really have to watch your budget.

Build Baby’s Library

If parents love to read books, you know they will love to read to their baby. Build Baby’s Library is the perfect sophisticated baby shower theme for them. Reading to infants help establish a life-long love of reading and this is a great way to build baby’s first library.

For this theme, in the invitation ask that the guest bring a signed book instead of a card. Suggest they pick a book that was a favorite of their when they were a child, or one that they read to their children.

Soft pastels would work well for party plates and napkins; powder blue for a boy, or pink for a girl are the traditional colors. But pick a color that the new mommy would like, perhaps the colors she is using in her nursery.

If you are the creative type, you could make your own invitations in the shape of a book. Buy or make bookmarks to give as favors. Give small inexpensive books as game prizes.

Pamper Mommy-to-be

Being just a few weeks or less from delivery, mommy-to-be is probably feeling a little ragged. A little pampering is in order with these sophisticated baby shower themes. And with luck, the guests will get some pampering too. Why not make it a spa day?

Perhaps you could hire a manicurist to come in and paint everyone’s nails. Or how about a masseuse to give a soothing shoulder and neck rub. If you can’t afford to bring in a professional, the guests could give each other facials and manicures. Just have fun with it.

Keep the colors relaxing and the food indulgent. Maybe serve a chocolate fondue with all sorts of things to dip in it such as strawberries, cheesecake, or brownies. Break out your new age or nature CD’s to create a soothing atmosphere. Take a look at menu ideas that might appeal to you.

If you decide to play games you could give lotions or oils as prizes. They would work well for favors too.

Tea Party

This theme would work for both a very upscale shower or a frivolous garden shower.

If the weather is nice, set up tables in the yard or garden and serve tea. You could even combine this with everyone wearing a vintage hat.

Pick delicate colors and use flowers for decorations and centerpieces. Keep everything sweet and light.

Cucumber sandwiches, scones with Devonshire cream, and delicate tea cookies are the order of the day. If you serve a cake, decorate it with real flowers. In the summer, you could serve sorbet and lemonade at an outside tea! This is one of the very sophisticated baby shower themes. Take a look at a classic tea party menu.
