Take the baby for a nice trip among the clouds! Hot air balloon themed baby shower!

So you might not be taking the baby on a hot air balloon, instead, you will be taking the hot air balloon to the baby on this special day of Baby Shower!
As you might have seen, when planning a baby shower we are planning not just a party but a complete and astounding experience by itself. 

The first thing to take into account is the invitation. The invitations can be very simple and yet very eye catching. Start off making some circle shape in a cardboard to resemble a balloon and beneath it a basket shape. This way your invitations speak for themselves: We are having a Hot Air Balloon theme baby shower hooray!

 For the decoration, have in mind that hot air balloons, they have mostly bright rainbow colors. So anything that you are going to decorate the room with, avoid dark and plain colors, remember it is a baby shower! 

 Needless to say, have lots of helium balloons all over the room. Recommended colors are blue, red and yellow. At one side of the room have a relatively large basket with a giant helium balloon tied to it, this way the guests can put the gifts inside of it. You could also use white balloons to resemble clouds around the basket. If you have a dessert table, you could have a big rainbow drawn up on a large paper to go behind the table. 

 As for the food, this can be very easy. Make some roasted chicken or order it from a restaurant. This is a relatively cheap alternative and will save you time of cooking and cleaning your kitchen. Besides, roasted chicken is liked by the so many people.

Le's now go on to the cake. According to the number of guests you can make a normal or a tiered cake. The tiered cake will prove to be visually more attractive. In the place you buy the cake, ask them to put hot air balloons as a decoration for the cake, a little baby could be sleeping in the basket or peeping out the basket waiting to arrive. These can be done in either edible or inedible ingredients. If done on edible ingredients, guests can actually get to eat the candy hot air balloons, can it get better than that! If you decide to have a fairly plain cake on the outside you can surprise the guests with a rainbow colored sponge cake on the inside.

 Everybody loves funny stories. Since hot air balloons are fun, you can then suggest a game in which people tells anecdotes of their lives. Finally, the person with the funniest story wins. What does he or she win? The prize can be a gift card to shop at a local store. 

 If you have kids attending the shower, they love helium balloons even if they don’t have a basket beneath them so have plenty of colorful balloons filled with helium. Have more than enough of them to give each one of the kids at the end of the baby shower, they will love them.

 For adults, the souvenir is a little more complex. Grab some little helium balloons and tiny baskets. You could use foam cups instead. You could tied them up with a little rope or thick string using glue gun or tape or buy cutting up small holes on the foam cup to loop the string. Inside the basket you could put some sweet Jordan almonds and candies. 

 Have a nice Hot Air Balloon theme baby shower with these wonderful ideas!
