Safari Baby Shower: 12 Ideas For Your African Safari Themed Shower

A safari baby shower theme is a great way to bring playfulness to your baby shower.

I have explored the plains of the world wide web to find you the perfect party ideas for your shower.

Animal treats, safari props, and khaki accessories are just a few of the essentials you’ll find listed below.

Safari Baby Shower Food Ideas

The food table is a great place to amp up the safari shower theme.

An imaginative way to display your food is to label each appetizer as a food that a certain safari animal would eat.

Below are some fun examples of this.

Get creative!

• Turn everyone’s favorite pretzel rods into sweet and salty “tiger tails” for your guests to snack on.
• Throw together a display of “hungry hippo dip” and “cheetos for cheetahs” like this avid party planner did in this blog post .
• Serve up a nostalgic tray of animal crackers as “giraffe snacks” in these festive leaf dishes
• Do it yourself “monkey treats” are easily crafted with candy bananas and a few cheap little supplies. This blog post will teach you how to make them. Alternatively, you could choose to play around with banana pudding cups for an inspired version of monkey treats.
• Take a trek through the lion’s den to gather up these “lion’s cub-cakes”. Cupcakes are a baby shower staple. Check out these adorable  safari cupcake toppers !
• Display your “zebra pops” on a bed of green tissue resembling the safari grasslands. Cake pops are a splendid treat that will please every baby shower guest with a sweet tooth. The cake pop photos below are borrowed from this blog post .
• Your baby shower attendees will need a spot to cool off. Lead them to the “watering hole” – a cute and inexpensive hydration station for your guests – by placing a bunch of water bottles in a massive metal tub/bucket ( just like this one ). To make this idea special, wrap each water bottle with animal print tape! This idea was borrowed from a blogger who hosted a summer safari baby shower of her own. Check out these safari print tapes  on Amazon.
• Feed your baby shower guests Nutter Butter cookies in these leaf dishes . Label the dish as “elephant cookies”.

Safari Baby Shower Invitations

A clever idea for safari themed baby shower invitations is to use a passport template.

Dig out your passport for your basic dimensions, fonts, and layouts.

Keep your invitations similar to a real passport while adding festive safari touches.

If you need help deciding on what information to include in the invitation read through our post on how to word a baby shower invitation .

The finest example of the passport themed invitation we could find is pictured below. This blog post shows you how to make them.

How To Throw A Safari-Themed Baby Shower

Welcome to the jungle!

There’s a lot of hard work that goes into planning the perfect baby shower . Not only do you have to find a great venue and work on a guest list that everyone will be happy with, but you also have to come up with the right theme, and then stick to it... with everything. A safari- themed baby shower is a really fun idea for the mama-to-be who loves nature or animals (or both), and is even more perfect if the parents are going to be doing a safari theme for their little one’s nursery.

To throw a safari-themed baby shower that feels Pinterest-worthy, you’ll need to put a lot of thought into every little detail. I recently threw my daughter a safari-themed birthday party (2 Wild!), so I consider myself something of an expert here, OK? The good news is that the safari theme is a popular one, so there are tons of cute options out there to choose from, whether you’re looking for the best invitations, the most creative food selections, or the most fun decorations. Check out the ideas below to get started.

We only include products that have been independently selected by Romper's editorial team. However, we may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.

Safari Baby Shower Invitations

Invitations are the first step in your party planning. Picking an on-theme invitation is important because it shows everyone exactly what to expect and sets the mood. You have some options on how to go about this:

• Opt for a calligrapher . If you have the budget for it, hire a calligrapher or similar professional to make your invitations for you. This gives you the ability to help them create a totally customized invitation, and they will typically also write out the envelopes as well, so all you have to do is put them together and send them out. Keep in mind that this is the most expensive option.
• Order invitations online. Not into the custom idea? There are tons of sites online you can order invites from, and they range from very inexpensive to more premium, depending on what you’re looking for. I personally love Minted because the prices are reasonable, and they will also address your envelopes for no extra charge.
• Go the Etsy route. For an even cheaper option and something that feels more unique, look for invites on Etsy . Lots of artists make the most adorable invitations, and many of them offer the ability to download them as a PDF for a flat rate (this is usually less than $10). From there, you can get them printed at a store like Staples and send them out yourself, or print them at home.
• Do e-vites! Evites are super easy, inexpensive (or even free), convenient, and the most sustainable option. A lot of my friends use Evite.com and it works out really well. This is also the easiest way to keep track of RSVPs.

If you do want to order your invitations online, here are some of the cutest safari options.

Safari Baby Shower Centerpieces

Get creative and DIY your own centerpieces or buy them already made. Here are some ideas to take inspiration from:

A Sand-Filled Glass Jar

Buy some glass jars, sand, fake palm leaves, and gold jungle animals (like these from Etsy ). Fill the bottoms of the tall jars with sand, throw some animals in there, and add some leaves. It looks both cute and sophisticated.

Mini Diaper Cakes

These mini diaper cakes work double duty as a fun centerpiece idea and as a gift for the mama-to-be — they can unravel them and use the diapers when baby gets here. Buy them from Etsy or craft them yourself.

Palm trees are perfect for a jungle-themed party. These don’t require much else at all and they’re super easy since they don’t require any DIY.

Palm Leaves Bouquet

For something slightly more chic, get some artificial monstera leaves and put them in a slim white vase. This is simple and feels more elegant and less cutesy.

Safari Baby Shower Balloons

Balloons are an easy and relatively inexpensive way to make any room or backyard look more festive and on theme. You can either buy balloons online and blow them up yourself (just be sure to look into helium machines), or you can order them from a party store near you. I love the animal print balloons that I used at my daughter’s party (linked below), and it’s also a cute idea to get some animal-shaped ones as well. A balloon arch is always fun, and while they can take a while, they’re worth it for the photos. Or you can hire someone to make them for you!

Safari Baby Shower Signs

Signs are a cute decoration for the entrance into whatever room or venue you’re using, and they’re also fun to scatter along the various food and gift tables. Banners are also a great idea to add below a balloon arch or draped from a table.

Safari Baby Shower Decorations

You can also scatter some other decorations around the room. Think baby blocks with a safari theme (bonus points if they can be used as nursery room decor later on), small items like hand-held fans to place at the tables, or diaper cakes that are on-theme.

Safari Baby Shower Photo Backdrops

You obviously need to have a great spot for photos for social media! This is so fun for making memories and capturing images of your guests that you’ll want later on. You can do a sign with your name and date, or something a bit more general, like leafy greens that can easily be reused for photos or an event later on.

Safari Baby Shower Games

This is a baby shower, so of course you have to have games, no matter how corny it might seem. You can keep games on theme with cute decorations that go along with them. Some cute ideas: put animal crackers in a jar and get people to guess how many, match the Disney animals to their parents, and do a jungle Price is Right. You can also rely on classics like advice cards, diaper raffles, and bingo.

Safari Baby Shower Paper Goods

If the baby shower is being held at someone’s home or in an outdoor venue that requires you to provide utensils and plates and all of that, then you’ll need to have paper goods on hand. And sure, you could opt for a solid color for everything, and that’s totally fine. But it’s a little more fun to stay on theme. Opt for fun animal print napkins and plates, and Meri Meri offers this amazing line of creative plates and napkins as well.

Safari Baby Shower Party Favors

A small favor is expected at something like a baby shower, and they can be fun to pick out. You can go for something traditional and classic, like a candle or hand sanitizer (which is really popular right now), or something that feels more appropriate for the theme: think animal crackers in a bag or leopard print scrunchies.

Safari Baby Shower Dessert Ideas

Maybe the most fun part of the whole baby shower is coming up with a safari themed dessert table. If you’re planning on supplying desserts for the shower, there are tons of ideas out there for the cutest jungle animal treats.

Safari Animal Pretzel Sticks

Inspired by an image on Pinterest , I *painstakingly* made these pretzel sticks for my daughter’s safari party, and they were a hit. I chose to do tiger stripes, cheetah/leopard print, and zebra print. It’s simple, but time-consuming: dip pretzels in melted chocolate (I found orange, salted caramel, and white chocolate at the craft store near me), then add the design using melted dark or milk chocolate. I used a toothpick to create these designs, and yes, it took about as long as it sounds like it would. But I think they came out so fun! And, bonus: these also work as a good edible favor.

Monkey, Lion, & Tiger Cupcakes

Inspired by the recipes for jungle cupcakes on Chelsea’s Messy Apron , I made these lion, tiger, and monkey cupcakes. These were not as hard as they seem — I’m not a professional by any means and had no trouble doing these with my mom and aunt. They’re a little time-consuming, but completely worth it, because they were adorable — and delicious. I chose cupcakes instead of cake, but you can do both.

Chic Safari Cake Pops

You can buy these chic gold safari theme cake pops from Etsy , or you can make them yourself. These definitely look like a professional is necessary, so I recommend buying them if you’re not a pro at this kind of thing.

Jungle Theme Rice Krispie Treats

Another item you can buy from Etsy or make yourself is these jungle-themed Rice Krispie treats. You would decorate them with melted chocolate, which seems relatively simple, if not a little time-consuming. These are another item that look so cute on the dessert table, or can easily be wrapped up and sent off as edible party favors.

Jungle Cookies

Custom decorated cookies like these are always a popular option. They taste good and look so amazing. You can buy these from Etsy , or you can try creating them yourself. This palm leaf and animal set is adorable, but the options here are really endless.

Safari baby shower ideas: cute, creative and easy!

January 30, 2020 by Colleen 4 Comments

Looking to host a safari theme baby shower? You’ve come to the right place. We have scoured the internet for the cutest, creative and most of all easy ideas to make your jungle baby shower a hit. Here’s a look at what’s inside:

Jungle Shower cakes / sweets Safari Themed Invitations – gender neutral, girl and boy version Jungle shower decor Safari themed food and drink ideas Party with a purpose – how to give back to the jungl e FREE Welcome Poster Thank you favor tags and more

Jungle theme baby shower cakes make a wonderful centerpiece.

This adorable baby shower cake is perfect for the new mom celebrating with a jungle or safari theme. The jungle animals (even a little hippo) surround the cake to make an amazing centerpiece for your party.

You could also have several little cakes – like this three some featuring a giraffe, lion and elephant. Each one could be a different flavor to add to the variety. You can find the cute toppers here.

The elephant topper on this baby shower cake is adorable! And the cute giraffe is super sweet too. Yes, the kangaroo is generally not found in the jungle but somehow mom and joey hopped on for the ride.

Here’s a different take on a jungle theme cake – a three tiered cake featuring animal prints and jungle leaves.

Make the cake the centerpiece!

This cake is a standout and needs to be front and center. Mint green and gold are a perfect combination for a jungle shower. The decorations surrounding the cake are as creative as the cake itself.

If you like golden safari showers, there are plenty of options available. Here’s some inspiration for you to set the tone. This cake and dessert spread showcases the golden theme perfectly.

Jungle theme cookies and cupcakes – sweet as can be.

Are you a cookie baker with animal theme cookie cutters ? You can make your own jungle themed cookies and decorate with colored frosting and a steady hand. If not, just head on over to etsy and get these sweet faced jungle animal cookies delivered in time for your shower. Sweet elephant, spotted giraffe, curious monkey, orange tigers, cute zebra and baby lion cookies will accent your shower perfectly!

Are these the cutest jungle cupcakes you’ve ever seen? Monkeys, tigers and zebra make their debut on chelseasmessyapron . Head on over for complete step by step instructions.

Safari and Jungle theme baby shower invitations. Lions and tigers and so much more!

Unique jungle animals take front and center on this safari theme shower. I love the colorful toucan, the napping lion and the cougar on the prowl.

We’re wild with excitement! This is one of my most recent designs featuring playful baby safari animals. I have a swinging monkey hanging from a vine, a baby zebra, jumping lion, a sprinkling elephant and smiling giraffe all front and center. This is also available as an instant download – so you can download, edit and print on your home computer today! Can also be emailed too 🙂

I also have this design and quite a few matching pieces in this theme (such as this cute baby elephant with sprinkling water thank you favor tags ). Head on over to see the entire collection .

Baby girl safari themed invitations

I also had a request for a “girl” version of the safari themed baby shower invitation. I added a bit of pink, some ferns and flowers and of course, a pink elephant 🙂

You can also customize this baby shower invitation via Corjl – change background colors, fonts and more!

If you’ve never used Corjl before, here’s a quick video with the “how to”.

Super cute jungle animals hiding among the ferns. The elephant, hippo, lion and giraffe are soft watercolor versions – perfect for a gender neutral shower.

Here’s a creative touch to the lion king theme – multi colored jungle leaves surround the baby lion. And too, these are easy to customize for your own lion themed shower.

Fun jungle animals including a not too scary lion, blue elephant, spotted giraffe, hungry hippo, crazy crocodile and ready to party palm tree! Back has a repeating jungle pattern featuring the cast of safari characters.

Here’s a baby girl shower invitation featuring some jungle animals with cute flowers in their hair: a zebra, tiger, elephant and giraffe all join the party. Love the creativity!

Baby boy shower invitations

These safari animals are heading out on a hot air balloon with “It’s a boy” in the banner. So sweet!

Twin elephant safari themed invitations

Is your mom to be having twins? There are plenty of designs available for the twin theme – including these adorable baby elephants.

Jungle theme baby shower decoration ideas.

There is such a variety in jungle themes – your creativity and imagination can bring your ideas to life. Whether you’re hanging palm leaves from the ceiling or adding boho accents, you can’t go wrong with this crowd pleasing theme.

The animal prints above or those shown below can be showcased at the shower on the food table, gift table, or sprinkled around the room. Then when the shower is over, off to the nursery for the baby’s wall. This is a really inexpensive way to add cute jungle decorations throughout the shower.

An adorable stuffed animal always adds sweetness to the party – like this super cute stuffed lion . Plus he would look darling in the nursery after the shower. You can find tigers , zebras and elephants too

Safari theme welcome sign

There are plenty of welcome baby flags but this one is super cute. I love the accents on the flag and the fun animals – from My Happy Party shop on etsy.

Safari theme baby shower guest book

Greet your guests with a smile and a pen – and have them sign this adorable baby shower guest book. This sweet book gives guests the opportunity to add wishes and make predictions. It also includes a gift tracker log (great for mom!) and blank pages for notes or other mementos. Best of all, it’s less than $10!

If you’re handy with a needle and thread, these jungle animals would also be fun to decorate at the shower. You can find patterns and other beautiful fabrics with a safari theme.

These cute baby blocks will instantly add to your safari theme shower. Don’t forget the tropical balloon arch !

Safari theme balloons instantly set the tone with very little effort. These decorative balloons from evescraft at etsy include patterns for cheetah, tiger, zebra and giraffe.

Stuffed animals are always a great hit at a baby shower. I love this elephant rocking chair idea! Or you could also have a large giraffe at the entrance to really set the mood when guests arrive. Both also make great baby gifts once the wild one arrives!

Diaper cakes with a jungle theme

There are plenty of creative jungle theme diaper cakes on etsy but this one stands out for his simplicity and creativity. Another perfect accent for the popular golden safari baby showers.

It’s about to get wild! Featuring an ever so cute elephant, lion and giraffe, this diaper cake is sure to get the admiration of your guests.

So simple – safari themed food ideas!

How fun are these pretzel sticks with animal print patterns? You can find the basics on creating chocolate covered pretzels here . For the white chocolate, you’ll need some food coloring to create the giraffe, cheetah and tiger patterns. What’s even easier? Just order them from dalicakesweetshop and she will ship them to you!

This adorable tiger dip works perfectly for a jungle themed baby shower. Just cut up some red, orange and yellow peppers for the mane, arrange a few black olives for the face and crackers for the ears. You can use store bought dip or hummus – or if you’re feeling brave, you can create your own homemade hummus .

Ok – it really doesn’t get any easier than this to create a cute snack for your shower. Cheese cubes on a skewer with a little decorative jungle animal (or two) and a sign. These are poked into the side of a melon. Fun – and simple!

Love this pineapple palm tree! It looks pretty simple to do too – just stack up some pineapples (have a rod to hold them straight). Next add some palm leaves on the top. Lastly, surround the base with tropical fruit. So creative – and such a dramatic display!

Other fun food ideas for the party are:

Fruit skewers Sausage rolls Little Debbie Zebra cakes Finger sandwiches Animal crackers (make cute thank you favors as shown below)

Jungle Juice – fruity, flavorful and fun!

For drinks, what could be easier? Add some tropical fruit and ice to your water pitchers and you have instant jungle juice – perfect tropical drinks for the party. Super easy – and flavorful too!

Parties with a purpose!

Since you’re having an African theme, why not give the mom to be this so cute “ Save Elephants from Extinction ” from the Elephant Cooperation with cute mom and baby elephant. There’s also one for the kiddo with Jungle Love featuring two elephants with cute hearts. What’s more, this could be a great gift idea for the big brother or sister. Best of all, 100% of profits from the sales of the tees goes directly to protecting the gentle giants.  Buy a tshirt, save an elephant. ?

There are many more charitable organizations you can showcase at your party. I love this Wild in Africa store with beautiful bracelets. What’s more, they donate 50% of all profits to the charities such as the Wild Tomorrow Fund , the Rhino Rescue project and more!.

This is such a cute saying on the favor tag – the sentiment is so sweet. It reads “Please light me up when you hear the news that baby Sawyer has made his debut. The flame will glow to celebrate little Sawyer’s arrival date.” It’s easy to do too … get your candle votives with lids ( or without lids ) next add some twine, punch a hole in your note card and lastly, add to your candle favors. You can customize the tags with your own wording or poem too!

The Thank You Card features the golden safari animals. What’s more, there’s plenty of room inside to add your special notes.

Hi Tracy – It appears that the templates were handmade with fondant. The cookie cutouts I’ve seen are similar – but not the same. There are a lot of cute ones out there though on etsy – you may find something you like!

Safari Baby Shower Theme

Safari Baby Shower Theme Ideas: A Wild Adventure Awaits

The call of the wild beckons as we embark on a journey to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a new adventurer. A Safari Baby Shower is a thrilling and vibrant way to honor the mom-to-be and her little explorer. With a mix of exotic animals, lush greenery, and adventurous vibes, this theme promises an unforgettable celebration. Let’s set out on a safari and discover some exciting ideas for the ultimate Safari Baby Shower.

Why Choose a Safari Baby Shower?

The safari theme is a timeless choice, symbolizing adventure, exploration, and the wonders of nature. It’s a versatile theme that can be tailored to be either whimsical for a more playful vibe or elegant for a sophisticated touch. The rich colors, diverse animals, and the spirit of adventure make it a favorite for many expecting parents.

Safari Baby Shower Invitation Ideas

Jungle safari invitation.

This invitation can feature a lush jungle backdrop with iconic safari animals like lions, elephants, and giraffes. A catchy phrase like “Join us for a wild adventure as we celebrate our little explorer” can set the tone.

Adventure Map Invitation

Channel the spirit of exploration with an invitation designed like an old-world map, marking the baby shower location as the “Treasure Spot.” Add phrases like “Your presence is the key to our adventure!”

Watercolor Safari Invitation

For a softer touch, opt for watercolor illustrations of safari animals and foliage. This design can be paired with a heartfelt message like “A wild journey begins, join us to celebrate.”

Safari Baby Shower Decoration Ideas

Safari balloon arch.

Create a grand entrance with a balloon arch in earthy tones. Intersperse with green foliage and animal print balloons for that authentic safari feel.

Animal Centerpieces

Use toy safari animals or crafted ones as table centerpieces. Surround them with faux grass or leaves to create mini safari scenes on each table.

Jungle Canopy

Drape green fabric or netting from the ceiling to mimic the dense canopy of a jungle. Intertwine fairy lights for a magical touch.

Safari Baby Shower Cake Ideas

Safari tiered cake.

A multi-tiered cake adorned with fondant safari animals, edible grass, and trees can be the showstopper. Flavors can range from classic vanilla to tropical passionfruit.

Animal Print Cupcakes

Cupcakes with animal print designs, like zebra stripes or leopard spots, can be both delicious and on-theme. Top them with tiny fondant animals for an extra touch.

Jungle Cake Pops

Cake pops designed to resemble safari animals or decorated with jungle patterns can be a hit. These bite-sized treats are perfect for guests to grab and enjoy.

Safari Baby Shower Food Ideas

Animal-shaped sandwiches.

Use animal-shaped cookie cutters to create delightful sandwiches. Fillings can range from classic tuna or chicken to vegetarian options.

Tropical Fruit Platter

Embrace the safari theme with a platter of tropical fruits like pineapples, mangoes, and kiwi. You can even use fruit cutters to shape them into animal figures.

Safari Trail Mix

A mix of nuts, dried fruits, and chocolate can be a nod to the adventurous trail mix often taken on safaris. Serve them in themed containers for added effect.

Safari Baby Shower Favor Ideas

Animal print candles.

Mini candles with animal print designs can be a charming and practical favor for guests.

Safari Keychains

Gift guests with keychains featuring safari animals or symbols. Every time they use their keys, they’ll be reminded of the special day.

Jungle Seed Packets

Encourage guests to cultivate their own jungle by gifting seed packets of plants that resemble jungle foliage. It’s a gift that grows, much like the baby!

A Safari Baby Shower is an exhilarating theme that promises adventure, fun, and a touch of the wild. With these ideas in your arsenal, you’re ready to create a celebration that will be remembered for years to come. As the roars of lions and the trumpets of elephants echo in the background, you’ll know that the safari theme was the perfect choice for welcoming the newest adventurer into the world.

A sweet theme for a mom about to embark on a new adventure.

Whether you’re a first-time parent or already have a growing family, welcoming a new baby into the world is a wild ride. So why not channel that spirit with a safari-themed baby shower?

Safari-themed baby showers are a fun twist on the usual soft blue or pink-themed baby showers full of stork and rattle decor. They give you a chance to show some personality and to create a day that will be memorable for all of your guests for years to come.

The safari theme can go a couple of different ways. You can lean into the more dusty, muted tones of the African Savannah: decorating your space with animals like cheetahs, elephants, and giraffes. Or, you can go for a jungle vibe with bold greens, punchy florals, parrots, and monkeys.

Whichever type of safari you decide to embark on with your shower guests, this guide to throwing the perfect safari-themed baby shower will have you covered. Read on for everything you need to know to plan the perfect day to celebrate your wild new arrival.

Safari Baby Shower Invitation Ideas

Your invitation serves as the first chance for you to show off your safari theme — so go wild! First, pick an invitation that matches your Savannah or Jungle safari theme, then get creative with safari-inspired invitation wording.ar

• Storybook: Channel childhood classics like The Jungle Book in your invitation by going for a design that looks like it could come from the pages of a storybook. Look for invitations with illustrations of safari animals that are full of personality — and remember to select a design that matches either your Savannah or Jungle theme!

Jungle Animal Sketchbook by Alethea and Ruth

• Watercolor: For an unexpected twist on the safari theme, go for a monochrome watercolor invitation. The soft colors and whimsical watercolor animals are sure to catch guests' eyes, and they elevate the invitation into a true keepsake.

New Adventure by Pati Cascino

• Bold: For a more modern take on baby shower invitations, go for a design that swaps out cute cartoon-style illustrations for bold artwork and typography. Go wild with color and large-scale text for an invitation design that is as cool as you are.

Camouflage Warriors by Grae

• Boho: Safari-themed baby showers are perfect for parents-to-be that will be welcoming their baby into a home full of bohemian decor. Channel that aesthetic by looking for an invitation design that features hallmarks of bohemian interior design — like the illustrations of rattan shelves and houseplants that frame this invitation.

Baby Tiger by Vivian Yiwing

• Sweet and Simple: A safari theme can also lend itself to a more minimal aesthetic. If that is the vibe you’re going for, look for a design that keeps things simple by featuring just one illustration of a classic safari animal.

Baby Animal Giraffe by Cass Loh

• Foil-Pressed: Though metallics aren’t often the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a safari, your invitation can be a great way to add a bit of glamor to the nature-focused theme. Look for an invitation that features animal illustrations pressed in foil for a high-design touch.

Sweet Sloths

by Jessie Steury

A safari theme should be full of fun and get guests excited for all of the adventures that a new baby will bring. So get playful with your invitation wording ! Here are a few ideas:

• “The Adventure Begins”
• “A little wild one is on the way!”
• “We’re wild with excitement!”
• “It’s about to get wild!”
• “The Pack is Getting Bigger!”
• “Help Us Welcome a New Baby to the Jungle!”
• “There’s no limit to how much you’ll know, depending how far beyond zebra you go.” - Dr. Seuss
• “Let the wild rumpus start!” - Maurice Sendak, Where the Wild Things Are
• “In the jungle,the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight.” - The Tokens

Etiquette Tips

When to have a baby shower?

It is traditional to hold the baby shower 4 to 6 weeks before the baby is born. This timing means that the pregnancy is far enough along for the mom-to-be to celebrate without fear of a miscarriage, and is early enough to avoid a preemie.

That said, you can always host the shower after the baby arrives as a Sip and See party if you aren’t able to get it planned before the due date. As with all things related to parenthood, do what feels good to you!

Whom should I invite to the baby shower?

The best rule of thumb here is to invite your nearest and dearest. Traditionally, baby showers were women-only events, though that has changed in recent years. So if the mom-to-be wants the dad-to-be or her own father at the shower, definitely invite them!

Whom should I not invite to the baby shower?

The people you leave off of the guest list can be an intensely personal choice — and can depend on the size of shower you’re hoping to have. If you’re having a more intimate party, don’t feel obliged to invite casual friends or acquaintances like coworkers and distant cousins. We also recommend only inviting people who you know will be happy to shower the new baby in love. Remember that it is OK to leave family members that don’t support you off your guest list.

When should I send out the baby shower invitations?

We suggest sending your invitations at least a month before the date of your shower. This gives guests enough time to put the date on their schedule, and will give you the best chance to have all of your loved ones join you.

That said, if you plan to invite many people from out of state, we’d suggest sending invitations as early as possible to give them time to plan travel and accommodations.

Simply fill glass vases (or mason jars) with rocks to anchor leaf clippings that look like they could’ve come straight from the jungle. Accenting a simple white tablecloth with a burlap runner reminiscent of classic safari tents is another great way to further nod to the theme.

Safari-Goes-Glam

For something a bit more opulent, go for a big, bold centerpiece like the one pictured here. The mix of florals, gold, and sweet animal figurines perfectly captures the theme and makes for an epic backdrop to your photos. Just remember, if you are going to go for big, bold monstera leaves in a centerpiece, make sure to place them above eye line so your guests can still see and connect with each other!

Gilded Animal Figurines

To give your safari theme a sophisticated feel, go for gilded accents like these golden giraffes. This is another budget-friendly DIY, as you can simply spray paint animal toys in gold, rose gold, or silver. Placing them inside a large vase like this adds a bit of interest to a simple floral arrangement, or you can use them as stand-alone centerpiece decor.

Foliage Runner

For a more low-profile centerpiece, swap out a traditional fabric runner for a bit of greenery. If you are going for more of a lush, jungle theme look for leaves (real or faux) in deep greens and mossy tones like the ones pictured here. For a centerpiece inspired by the Great Plains, line the center of your table with soft grasses. The gilded animal figurines make a nice touch here, but you could skip them in favor of decor like candles or to leave room for shared dishes of food.

Subtly Sophisticated

For an unexpected and on-trend take on balloons, go for a half balloon arch in neutral colors. Then, tie in the theme by weaving in large faux leaves and accenting the arch with oversized safari stuffed animals.

Playful Messages

To have a bit of fun with a more neutral color palette, go for gold balloons that spell out phrases like “Oh Baby” or even “Wild Child” for something on-theme. You could keep things simple and have these balloons stand on their own, or pair them with a balloon arch like the one shown here.

Simply Festive

If you don’t have the budget for a balloon arch, go for smaller bouquets of balloons. Pick clusters of balloons in colors that nod to safaris — think neutrals like the ones shown here for a Savannah-themed shower, or deeper greens and browns for a jungle safari look.

Photo Backdrops

Blooming balloons.

For a glamorous safari-themed photo backdrop, go big and bold with your balloon choice. The mix of cascading neutral-colored balloons and pampas grass offers a bit of sophistication that will look great in photos, as will a sign with the new baby’s name!

DIY Photo Booth

If you don’t have a ton of space to create a photo backdrop for your safari-themed shower, go for something like this. You can hang gold streamers from a rig as seen here, or simply take over a blank wall. The sweet paper pom-poms, green leaves, and balloons are a nice way to further tie in the theme, and add a bit of visual interest to photos.

Repurpose the boho decor you already have at home by using it to create a sweet photo backdrop that doubles as the seat of honor during gift time for the mom-to-be. Accent the area behind the chair with a balloon arch, woven baskets, and animal-inspired decor to connect everything back to the safari theme.

Safari-themed Personalized Art Prints

In addition to traditional party decor, it is a great idea to use multi-purpose decorations like on-theme art prints that the parents can use to decorate the baby’s room once the shower is over. Minted offers a huge selection of safari- and animal-themed prints from independent artists around the world, many of which can be personalized to feature the baby’s name or birthdate. Here are a few of our favorites.

Safari Baby Shower Signs

Whether you’re going full-out with safari decorations or are keeping things more simple at your shower, use signs to tie in the theme. From welcome signs, menus, and chair signs to game instructions and more , there are plenty of ways to weave your safari aesthetic across the celebration.

Welcome Signs

Minted’s selection of baby shower welcome signs all offer the perfect mix of design and readability. For a safari-inspired shower, look for welcome signs that feature illustrations of flora and fauna, and don’t be afraid to take a jungle-inspired twist on what the sign says. “Welcome Party Animals” or “Welcome to the Jungle” are cute, safari-inspired options.

• Sweet Illustrations: If you went for a storybook-inspired invitation, keep the whimsical vibe going with a welcome sign that features sweet illustrations of elephants, giraffes, and crocodiles.

Jungle shower by Jennifer Wick

• Abstract: You can still capture the safari spirit without going over the top on animal iconography. This abstract design calls to mind the colors of a safari and the shapes of nature. Just be sure to pick a colorway that matches your decor!

Rainbow Shapes by Morgan Kendall

• Jungle Greens: If you’re inspired by the lush ferns and trees of jungle safaris, pick a sign that puts them front and center. This particular style is a nice way to highlight vibrant foliage, while still keeping a minimal and clean look.

jungle edge by Amy Kross

• Cute & Playful: For another take on an abstract style, look for a sign design that features a playful take on the shapes of safari animals. This particular one is super fun — and calls to mind some of the toys the new baby is sure to receive.

Safari by Lori Wemple

Table & Menu Signs

Minted offers suites of safari and jungle-look baby shower signs featuring the same design for a cohesive look. Or, if you prefer to switch things up, you can mix and match your table and menu signs for a more eclectic vibe.

• Vibrant Floral Menu: If you’re looking to add a bit of variety to your day-of signs, go for a menu that calls to mind the bright flowers found in jungles and other tropical climates. Safaris aren’t all grasses and ferns, after all!

Watercolor Blossoms by Shannon Chen

• Classic Safari: Or, you can keep things cohesive and classic with this sweet take on the sights of a safari. This particular design is available across a range of different signs, and is a great option for a more elegant safari theme.

• Dino Deserts: You don’t have to stick to the Big 5 family of animals if you are hosting a safari-themed baby shower! Channel a safari that is more along the lines of Jurassic Park with this cute dinosaur-themed dessert table card.

Oh Boy! by Michelle Shanaman

• Abstract Watercolor: Going for a simpler sign to mark the cards and gift table is a great way to let the pile of presents the parents-to-be are sure to receive shine. The turtle colorway of this sign calls to mind the colors of the African Savannah with sweeps of khaki green, dusty earth, and sky blue.

Hello Baby Shapes by Pixel and Hank

Chair Signs

Reserve seats for the parents-to-be with sweet chair signs. This is another chance to have some fun with the safari theme, so instead of going for standard text like “Mom to Be” we’d suggest playing with phrases like “Mama Bear” or “Leader of the Pack.”

• Monochrome: If you’re going big and bold with your shower decor, keep the chair signs simple. Opt for a style that is inspired by the colors of a safari to ensure it doesn’t compete with more eye-catching centerpieces.

Whisper by Sara Hicks Malone

• Starry Sky: If “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” is one of mama’s favorite songs, go for a sweet night sky-themed chair sign as a subtle way to nod to the safari theme.

baby balloon ride by peetie design

• Elegant Script: This is another great option if you’re looking for a sign that won’t compete with the themed decor. If you’re going to use gold animal figurines or accents in your decor, go for the Snow colorway of this sign to tie it all together.

Elegant Mom by Carolyn MacLaren

• Gingham: Though gingham isn’t the first print you think of when imagining a safari theme, we think it is a sweet way to nod to the great outdoors. This works best for showers with a Savannah safari theme, and in muted colors.

Charming by Lea Delaveris

Safari Baby Shower Game Ideas

No baby shower is complete without a game or two! You can give any traditional baby shower game a safari twist, especially if you go for a baby shower activity sign with a sweet safari-inspired design. Here are a few game ideas that are sure to be crowd-pleasers.

Guess the Birthday

This is one of the most straightforward games in the book. Hang a calendar featuring the birth month up for guests, and provide stickers for them to use to guess when the baby will finally arrive. If you’re comfortable, you can mark the due date on the sign, but you don’t have to. We’d also suggest buying some safari-themed stickers for guests to use as a fun additional nod to the theme.

Tiny Human by Corinne Malesic

Diaper Raffle

Holding a diaper raffle is a fun way to say thank you to the guests who brought what a new parent needs most: diapers, diapers, and more diapers! Simply hand out raffle tickets when guests drop off their package of diapers at the beginning of the shower. Then, when you’re ready to play games, pull a winning ticket or two out of a safari hat. Bonus points if you keep your raffle prize on theme by giving the winning guest something like a potted plant that looks like it could’ve come out of the jungle.

Guess the Sex

If the parents-to-be haven’t revealed the sex of the baby (or if you are hosting a safari-themed reveal party), let guests compete to see who can guess it. If you already know the sex and the couple is comfortable sharing it at the shower, you can give any guest who guesses correctly a small favor. Again, bonus points for keeping the prizes on theme!

Cakes, Food, and Drink Ideas

Your shower safari doesn’t have to stop at the decor. Your cake, food, and drinks are another opportunity for you to tie in a wild theme. Look for treats that feature animal prints or serve more traditional snacks in safari-inspired vessels.

Safari-Inspired Cakes

Animal tower.

Use a classic three-tier cake as another opportunity to display sweet gilded animal figurines. You can keep things minimal by featuring just the figurines, or add a bit more visual interest with fondant foliage and flowers.

Bold & Boho

If you are hosting a safari baby shower with a more bohemian flair, go for a cake that is perfectly imperfect. The two-tone effect of this one is a nice way to mimic the look of a traditional tiered cake, and helps balance out a wild topper of animal figurines and leaves.

Image Source: Naked Bakes

Party Animal Cupcakes

Picking up a pack of safari animal cake toppers is a great way to make simple layered cakes or cupcakes on theme for the shower. These toppers can go with nearly any safari-shower style, but we love how they look when paired with funfetti cupcakes.

Image Source: Painted Parade

Cute Cookies

If cake isn’t your thing, opt for cookies instead! Go for a mix of sugar cookies in the shape of safari animals, jungle leaves, onesies and more for a sweet eclectic look.

Food & Drink

Safari snacks.

Serve your snacks in bowls that look like the huge leaves you might see while on a jungle safari. (Another option would be to serve them in bowls that look like the classic safari hat.) If you can’t find safari-inspired snacks like truffles in the shape of monkeys, don’t worry — these festive dishes will ensure everything stays on theme!

Pineapple Palm Tree

For a snack table centerpiece that is easy to DIY, go for a pineapple palm tree. Simply cut the tops off a few similarly-sized pineapples and thread them onto a dowel with a platform at the bottom. Then, top with a few faux fern leaves and a sweet safari-animal figurine!

Image Source: lrshelly

Refreshing Mixes

Serve a mixed drink like a virgin mojito or even water infused with fruit in a vintage-looking glass jug for a safari-inspired look. Adding natural decorations like a wooden pedestal and grass-like texture around the top of the jug will help bring the safari theme to life, as will clever puns like “Jungle Juice” or “Mirage Mimosas”

Safari Baby Shower Favors

Say thank you to your guests in safari style with on-theme favors. As with all party favors, we suggest sticking with something your guests will use long after the due date. Whatever you choose, be sure to attach a safari-inspired gift tag , or wrap them in something like burlap to continue the theme.

Personalized Pouch

If you are hosting a more intimate shower, say thank you to your nearest and dearest by giving them a pouch personalized with their name. Minted offers pouches in a huge range of prints created by independent artists, but look for one that features safari-inspired colors or textures.

Basic by Bethania Lima

Sweet Succulents

Send guests home with something that will grow right alongside the new baby! Go for succulents to keep things easy, or you can opt for something more jungle-inspired like a snake plant or monstera.

Snacks for the Road

Create safari-themed mason jars by spray painting the lids and small animal figurines in silver or gold. Then, hot glue the figurines to the tops of the jars and fill them with treats to send your guests something sweet to snack on for days to come.

Baby Shower Thank You Cards

In addition to sending your guests off with a favor from your shower, be sure to thank them for supporting you in this next adventure with a thoughtful thank you card. Pick a design that reminds them of the day’s safari theme and be sure to add a personalized note in each before sending them off.

When to Send Thank You Cards

A general rule of thumb is that thank you cards should go out no later than two months after the baby is born. That said, if the shower is before your due date, it’s never a bad idea to write your thank you cards before the baby arrives. That way, you can be sure you don’t let thanking anyone fall through the cracks.

Whom to Send Thank You Cards To

You should send a thank you card to anyone who attended the shower. It is also a nice gesture to send thank you cards to guests that couldn’t attend the shower but still sent your new arrival a gift.

Elephant Shower by Lori Wemple

Tips for Writing the Perfect Thank You Card

Writing the perfect thank you card is all about being thoughtful. Ask a trusted friend to take notes of who gave you what while you open gifts, and then be sure to mention how much you appreciated the specific gift a guest gave you.

• Include a general thanks for coming to the shower or sending a gift.
• Share a specific reaction to their gift or to a memory you made together at the shower.
• Wrap things up with a closing statement of appreciation.

When put all together, this could look like: “Thank you so much for attending my shower, having you celebrate this adventure with us means so much to me. I can’t wait for you to meet our new addition, I’m sure they will look so sweet in the onesie you gave us. I am so thankful to have you in my life!”
