Baby Shower Safari Decoration

Creative Decoration Ideas

Integrating simple baby shower safari decoration ideas is a smart move when faced with a limited or tight budget. Jungle safari-type decorations are inexpensive and will help you stay within your budget. You can buy complete jungle-themed kits. If you are the creative type, mix and match with a bunch of do-it-yourself creations with items lying around the house.

A baby shower is a time to “shower” the mommy-to-be with the necessities for a newborn. Practical gifts like diapers, bathing supplies and clothing offer more value than extravagant items. Keep the decorations simple. You can accomplish much with inexpensive, yet tasteful decorative accent items for your safari baby shower theme. Leave the spoiling to grandma and grandpa – it’s their job!

Do you have stuffed animals? They make perfect accent pieces. Ask your family and friends if you need more. Strategically place them around the room with a few exotic looking potted plants and green streamers as vines. You will have all the makings of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book!

One can easily envision monkeys, jaguars, snakes and exotic birds in the jungle. Feel free to exercise some creative license and incorporate animals not typically found in a jungle. Lions, zebras and giraffes for example. They are beautiful animals that add an extra splash of color and dimension to your theme.

Speaking of color, I love decorating with balloons for all festive celebrations. Balloons are perfect as baby shower safari decorations. They come in a large variety of colors, sizes and shapes. You can create an elegant ballroom fit for a princess or a magical fairy tale wonderland with enough knowledge and determination! This is all done for a fraction of what you would spend using almost any other method.

Besides a few well placed helium inflated balloons as baby shower safari decorations, I like making balloon animals. Balloon monkeys, snakes and teddy bears make wonderful centerpieces when coupled with potted plants.

Got any leftover helium?

Get everyone together and hand each person a balloon filled with helium (untied). Have everyone inhale simultaneously from the helium-filled balloons, and then belt out a few lines of The Lion Sleeps Tonight as the guest of honor enters the room.

Hilarious!

You will want the video cameras rolling for this. Who knows? It might go viral on YouTube and become an Internet sensation!

Timing is very important to pull it off correctly, so find someone to lead the group in song. Make sure to hide the balloons once you inhale the helium. You do not want to tip off the guest of honor as to what is about to happen.
