There are plenty of baby shower themes that are centered on cute animals and cuddly cartoon characters but if you want to break that mold, you can choose a theme that is out of the ordinary and yet still be enjoyable for adults. The baby shower café theme where you bring the coffee shop into the baby shower venue is one such theme. This is a very cute theme that will be loved by the mother and father alike especially if they both love to drink coffee and their friends enjoy coffee as well. It is a theme that not very many people use and will give you plenty of chances to flex your creative muscles when you need to plan things that will be part of the theme.
As any good planner knows, the most important thing is that you send out invitations that will let the guests know what the theme of the party is. Imagine how delighted they will be once they open that invitation and see that the theme is not just some cartoon character but a really cool café theme? First thing you ought to do is make the invites. You can print the invites on paper that have a delicate little coffee cup printed in gold at the top or you may choose to have it printed menu style like they do in coffee shops. Your guests ought to get a kick from that and will be very excited to see what other strokes of genius you will come up with for the baby shower.
You will also need to work on the décor and in this instance you should have brown as a dominant color since brown is the color of coffee. If you know the sex of the baby you can mix in the appropriate secondary colors. You know the drill, blue if the baby is a boy and pink if the baby is a girl. Take for instance if the baby is a boy then you will have to use blue. Use this blue for the head table in the form of a blue hued tablecloth. Your brown accents will be your tableware and the confetti that you scatter on the table. Also, do not forget to place a tiny coffee cup in front of the plates. For the other guests’ tables, you will use the colors in reverse. That means blue table cloths and blue confetti and tableware.
The tables will need some centerpieces so you can go ahead and really get creative. Why not fill a coffee cup with some aromatic beans and finish it off with a nice blue colored flower in the center? You may also try to fill a coffee pot with a bunch of baby things in the color blue? Should the baby be a girl then you can switch the color blue for pink. As for favors, give your guests some bags of ground coffee or you can opt to hand them some coffee chop gift checks.
