Baby Shower Elephant Theme



Who does not love a sweet cute pink (or blue) elephant? Are you wanting to coordinate a baby shower with a pink (or blue) elephant theme and looking for ideas? Well, look no further! Let us talk baby or is it let’s baby talk? Gather your guests with an adorable invitation with a mother elephant being sprinkled and showered with rain drops. You could use a little glitter or pink (or blue) rain drops. You could also have a mother elephant and a baby elephant side by side with a little ribbon bow (for a girl) or a tie (for a boy) on the baby elephant. Pick a cute title like A Little Pink (blue) Elephant Party and provide the name of the mom to be, the date, time, and location of the event. 

 There would great pictures to follow if you asked guests to dress only in pink (blue) and white. Setting up the room for the shower can be very easy, just start with a nice large table by the front door. Cover the table with burlap and add a picture frame with a stenciled figure of a pink (blue) elephant or a baby book about elephants displayed. This makes an awesome keepsake for the mother to be and usually is put in the nursery. Place a bowl of pink (blue) and white mints and a book for the guests to leave their loving words of wisdom to be cherished and a remembrance of such a special time. 

 Next, set up a small table for the cake and cover the table with burlap. Place a clear glass vase / jar at each end filled with pink (blue) and white lollies. Wrap pink (blue) and white ribbon backed by burlap around the vase and tie in front when a large bow. Give guests a pen and paper to guess how many lollies are in each vase and the winner gets to take them home. A two tiered round cake covered with white fondant and a pink (blue) elephant on top, maybe even some small square baby building blocks and a pacifier would be a cute cake. You could have a fondant made puddle of water or rain drops coming out of an elephant's nose showering the cake. That would make a perfect cake. 

 Add fresh pink (blue) assorted flowers to the vase and attach a elephant balloon bundle with lots of ribbon dangling. Spray the balloons with silver glitter spray to add a little elegance. To decorate the floor, have pink (blue) and white round rugs to spread around the table to welcome guests. If you plan ahead, you could organize a vinyl pink (blue) elephant figures and white balloons to apply to the wall behind the cake. These are fantastic because they are an easy application, easy removal, and no mess. It serves as a great take home decoration for the nursery also. Perfect! 

 On the other side of the room place a long table to serve as the buffet. Keep it simple with key items like ham and cheese filled pastries, a pink grapefruit or strawberry or blueberry salad, and an assortment of cake pops presented on a tiered spindle plate. Go nuts, an elephant's favorite with the color of the cake pops dark pink (blue) and brown. Make sure you have a bowl of peanuts served on your table with a cute label to say 'peanuts for elephants'. Have a label for all the food in elephant theme, swamp lemonade, chocolate blow brownies, aquatic cookies and so on. 

 The tableware could include individually wrapped dinnerware wrapped with a napkin and tied with white, pink (blue), and dark brown ribbon. Place the guests parting gifts on the gift table also. A great idea for favors by filling clear square plastic containers with elephant animal crackers or cookies and wrap the box with lovely pink (blue) ribbon with a pink (blue) elephant plastic figurine tied into the bow.  Enjoy!
