If you ever planned a baby shower you might now how hard coming up with the right theme can be. Whether you know the gender or not, the options are endless and they are one of the most important decisions, as they’ll set the mood for the whole party.

A jungle baby shower theme can be a great option for a boy or a girl, although it is generally used for boys as girls have several other themes to pick from that can be a lot more girly. All-baby jungle decorations can also be extremely cute, and games to go with this theme are also very easy to come up with. Still, one of the best things about it is that you can even have a theme within the theme. For example, it can be all about the African Jungle, about your favorite Jungle-related movie (Tarzan, Lion King, etc), about stuffed animals or you can even propose a Safari-related dress code…! Just pick your choice and start thinking about the possible decorations that will take it to the next level.

The jungle baby shower theme is also great because it has a clear color palette you can choose from when it’s time to send out your jungle baby shower invitations. Whether you decide to get them in a store, print them yourself from pre-made found online or to send out handmade invitations, you can use lots of yellow, brown, orange and green. Red, violet and light blue are also possible options, as they remind us of the colors of the sunset. They also add a nice contrast to the basic “Safari theme” colors, which are khaki of course and a yellowish, mustard green.

You can also come up with clever ways to ask people to come on the back of your jungle baby shower invitations. You can say something like “help us get our man cub ready for the great outdoors!” The options are only limited by how far you can take your imagination.

Baby shower games can make or break the party, so choose wisely. The jungle theme can be great for games, so here’s a couple you can use:

-          Name the baby: Write down a list of animals, with a number next to each one. Put it up against the wall and give pen and paper to each guest. Step in front of the list so that nobody can read it, and get your timer ready. Whoever can write down more baby animal names in one minute, wins. Some can actually be harder than you think! These are some of the animals you can use: Pigeon/squab, goose/gosling, kangaroo/joey, fox/kit, deer/fawn, whale/calf and fish/fry.

The jungle pregnancy game: Leave your sign up and get everyone to split in pairs. Two couples play together each time. One of the participants has to guess the gestation time for each of the animals from the previous game, while the other one is only allowed to point up and down as her partner takes a “wild” guess. The couple that gets 5 correct guesses first wins. Of course, the participant that knows the answer is not allowed to talk at all.
