When planning a baby shower, coming up with baby shower ideas can be really hard to do. Having a theme makes it easier because you can just go with whatever happens to fit the theme. The frog prince theme is adorable. You get to refer to the baby as a prince or prince (baby name) if you know the name they picked. And all of the decoration options are adorable. Every mom thinks of her baby boy as her little prince anyway, why not celebrate him as one.
You can get anything printed on an invitation. If you want to go with royal prince themes for the invites a nice silver crown at the top with the invite info underneath can look darling. And it works great with white or blue paper. If you want the invites to start with the frog theme you can go with that as well and add a mini crown to the frog. You could even have them put the latest sonogram photo on it and put a little crown on his head.
There are some options for the cake as well. Especially if you didn't do it for the invites, having the cake with the sonogram photo on it with the baby wearing a royal crown is very cute. You could keep the cake theme to green so you are still flowing with the theme. You could even have them put 2 sonogram photos side by side, his first, when he looked like a tadpole and his most recent to show him going from frog to prince. You could also go with a frog cake. Depending on your budget and personal tastes you could do anything from a sheet cake with a drawing of a frog wearing a crown to something bigger like a cake shaped like an actual big frog.
For decorations you can get a bunch of frog stickers, a set of frog plates, green napkins. Basically anything green and some gold, especially the balloons and cutlery. There are a lot of things that you could do. You could even print out frog pictures on thick stock paper and hand them up. Using those little stuffed frogs would be perfect too. Or you could go more with the prince theme and go crown everything. The decorations, the plates, and the paper crowns you hang up. Even a few actual plastic crowns would be cute decoration.
Going half and half is the best way to go through. You could pick one extreme or another but why not mix them together. Have some frog decorations and some crown decorations. You can pick which aspects go where and for what, and it will look more cohesive to tie it all together. Telling everyone at the party that only so many months ago this little guy was only a tad pole, then he grew arms and legs and was a tiny little frog, but soon a prince will be born will make everyone smile. It will also make mommy feel very special about helping her little tadpole grow all the way into a baby prince.
No matter which way you go with this theme it is sure to come out spectacularly because with a theme based on such a true metaphor for babies is the prefect baby shower. You can even advise guests that considering the theme they may want to get gifts like one-sies that say little prince or ones with frogs on them. It is always nice when some of the gifts can bring the mother back to the day of the shower when everyone she loved came together and celebrated her bringing a baby into the world. One day she will be d ressing him, see the frog on the outfit and remember all of the fun that she had with all those she loved most.
Sometimes when you have a new baby in the house, it is good to have something sweet to look back on because at first, it kind of feels like a nightmare, but it gets pretty great too. This story does have a happy ending.
