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!.

Thanks for coming!

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.

Hello. Can you tell me where I can get the elephant and giraffe cake toppers?

February 28, 2022 at 2:00 pm

Hi Ima! Those little cake toppers are so cute! You can find the cute toppers here.

February 9, 2023 at 3:17 pm

Do you know where I can get cutters or templates for fondant cut outs for the animals in the cake with the kangaroo?

February 11, 2023 at 2:25 pm

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 Ideas: Planning a Safari-Themed Celebration

Planning a baby shower can be almost as exciting as the execution! There are many ideas, and when following a Safari Baby Shower theme, the number of animals and colors that can be included is nearly endless. From decorations to gifts, food, and activities, there are so many Safari Baby Shower ideas to choose from.

With many options available there are sure to be many opportunities to choose from alternatives for decorations, foods, and activities that will fit an elegant party, a kid or family-friendly party, or a lighthearted gathering. The expecting mother is sure to appreciate all of the efforts and will remember her Safari baby shower with fondness as they watch the child grow.

Safari Baby Shower Ideas – Decorations

Safari Baby Shower decorations really begin with what invitations you choose, as these will set the tone for the guests right from the start. For a safari themed Baby Shower choose invitations that are in green, tan, and natural colours. Safari invitations can be matched to balloons, banners, and much more.

Banners are a great way to share joy and greet people as they enter. Choose one that has baby animals on it, real or cartoon, and announce “congratulations”, or “welcome” or even that has the baby’s name and the month that they are due. Banners can be all one piece or they can be created with a string of flags, letters, or balloons.

Place settings add to the theme and help to create a cohesive appearance. Plates, napkins, and cups can all be themed. For a safari Baby Shower theme choose items that have images of animals on them, ideally baby animals for the baby shower. For added interest, cups can be located that are shaped like animals, for example, elephant cups with their trunk as the handle. These will please even the most serious party guests.

For easy and fun decorations, and even to use as a gift suggestion, use stuffed animals that are animals you would find on a safari, giraffes, elephants, lions, tigers, etc. They can be placed around the room and used as a game later, or they can be all piled in one space like a hammock or scene. Ask guests to bring a copy of their childhood favorites to add to the special occasion.

Small plastic toy animals are ideal for this theme and can be placed around the table or hidden as surprises around the entire space. They are also perfect for putting on top of cake or cupcakes.

Use a tablecloth that is in the colors that match, a dark green or light green, tan, brown, or in animal print for added fun. The tablecloth will not only protect the surface of your table but add to the overall appeal of the space.

A safari theme backdrop can be used to make a great photography space. These can be as large or small as you want and can be hung on a wall inside or outside. Set up some props including animal masks, balloons, stuffed animals, and a camera to allow your guests to pose in front of it for both decoration and a fun activity to memorialize the event.

Safari gear, such as helmets, all-terrain vehicles, boots, and clothing can all be used to place around the room or even dress a scarecrow for added interest.

Balloons in the themed colors can be grouped near areas of interest such as the gift table, the snack table, and a guestbook to help guide visitors to all the areas that they should be sure to visit and can even mark the way to the bathroom for those guests who are not familiar with the home.

Leaves, palm trees, and sand are all associated with safari and can be added to the theme. Stand some fake palm trees around the space, and add some other large-leafed trees, real or artificial, to create a full safari immersion feeling. Bringing in elements of the environment can help people to settle into the theme and enjoy it even more. 

A safari themed balloon arch is a great way to create a focus in the room and when made with dark green light green, browns, and other neutral and calm tones will fit the theme and feel of your Safari baby shower. Place it around the space for gift opening or where the guest of honor will sit, or use it to frame a space for photographs, surround a framed picture of the sonogram, or bring attention to any other part of the experience.

Check out our post here for easy instructions for How to make a DIY balloon arch.

More Safari Baby Shower Ideas

Print and hang pictures of animals on safari. These can be blown up for larger spaces, or printed smaller to put on place cards, or labelled food. Choose images that are cute, funny, silly, or include baby animals to match the theme the best.

Balloon animals are ideal for decorating a safari baby shower. These can be placed strategically around the room or along with other balloon arrangements to add visual interest, and people are certain to remember the baby shower with the balloon animals.

Goodie bags, or baby shower favors , are another way to tie the theme together and show your guests that you appreciate their attendance. Animal keychains, safari animal stickers to seal bags of candy or animal cracker treats, books about someone who went on safari, and the bags or boxes themselves being animal prints or having an image of animals on them are all a great fit for this theme.

Use wooden blocks with animals painted on them to create staggered presentations for snacks, drinks, and other decorations.

Add animal prints around the space. A zebra print throw blanket, cheetah print throw pillows, fake fur rugs, and even curtains and tablecloths can all be sourced in assorted animal prints.

Add streamers to the doorways, link balloons, and drape the tables to add additional color and detail.

Confetti can be spread around the table to add fun to the decorations and add a pop of color to any space.

Safari Baby Shower Food Ideas

Desserts are always a focus when food is involved, and sand can be a great starting point. Use ground graham crackers to create a sand base and add gummy animals to the “sand” all over a pudding for a great snack that everyone is sure to enjoy regardless of age.

Make your drinks exotic by using flavors related to a safari experience. Sparkling water is easy to flavor and safe for all ages, even the guest of honor, and can be created in pineapple, coconut pineapple, grapefruit, and many other varieties. Serve in champagne glasses for an elegant feel or place out small bottles of flavored water.

Serve cupcakes with green icing to mimic the plains and add a small plastic safari animal on top. Alternatively, an image of an animal placed as a flag on the top is easily added to either homemade or store-bought cupcakes.

Read about how to make an amazing Baby Shower dessert table here.

Have a Safari themed cake made that has a dessert or oasis theme and use it as a centerpiece for the dessert or food table. This will delight the guests and create a lasting memory of the event.

Donuts can be lined up, standing against each other, and topped with green paper or toppers to look like pineapples. A matching taste profile adds to the appeal.

Fruit salads can add a light and flavorful option for a snack table.

Choose cupcake toppers, either from fondant, modeling chocolate, or printed images to place on top of plain cupcakes for easy dessert.

A punch with fruit floating on top can be used to create a watering hole, allowing people to stop by and pour a drink.

Cake pops covered with animal prints are sure to delight.

A veggie tray can mimic the food choices of the herbivores on safari and can be arranged to look like animals with a carrot mane, raisins for eyes, or bread as an elephant’s trunk. There are many creative ways to organize vegetables and other foods to look like animals.

Kebabs are a fun and easy way to enjoy snacks during a baby shower or other gathering. Chicken or other meats can be used along with vegetables or other savory items, while fruit kebabs with pineapple, grapes, berries, and more can add a pop of color to the table and let people snack as they socialize.

Animal Crackers can be placed in ground graham cracker base to appear as though they are walking across the sand, or in pudding for a mixture of textures.

What to bring to a Safari Baby Shower?

• Request stuffed animals as a gift, and you can create your own safari experience for the baby as it grows.
• Clothes that are safari themed or have animals on them can fit the theme well.
• Decoration or images, pictures, framed posters, and other decorative items are wonderful gifts for building a nursery.
• Gifts for guests can also be safari themed including small bags of candies with safari anima stickers holding them closed.
• Plastic or even robotic animals are great gifts for a safari-themed baby shower and can help the baby to learn about animals as they grow.
• Books on animals, safaris, and baby animals are all great gifts for any shower.

Safari Themed Baby Shower Games

• Create an animal safari by setting up stuffed animals around the room and putting up cards with basic information on each animal.
• Build a photo booth with a cut-out where the face would be, allowing guests to take pictures of themselves as those animals.
• Create a scavenger hunt with stuffed or plastic animals around the room and have guests find them all and check them off.
• Play a trivia game based on basic facts about the animals you see on safari.
• Fill a jar with small plastic elephants or giraffes and have people guess how many are in the jar.

• Fill a tub with sand and place toys within, then blindfold participants and have them search through the sand to find the animal toys. The first to find a certain number can win.
• Enjoy a wordplay game taking characteristics of safari animals and applying them to children. For example how they walk when they are first learning, how joeys ride with their mother, lions roar when they want something, and see who can come up with the best comparisons or puns.
• Play animal sounds and see who can name the animal the fastest.

Safari Themed Baby Shower Final Note

When planning a baby shower there are many things to consider. Once the theme is determined it can be easier to piece together the event and choose food, activities, and decorations that will match. A safari is full of new foliage, expansive views, and animals that some may never see in zoos. By incorporating each of these aspects into the planning a fun and whimsical experience that will bring joy to all those in attendance.

Many of the decorations and games are easy to find and the food can be made in ways that are budget-friendly and easy to execute. A safari-themed baby shower is sure to impress all of the guests and can even help them to choose what gifts to choose or how to wrap them. Be sure to take plenty of photos, or have everyone send the pictures they take to one online photo album to share the memories and keep them for years to come.

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!

• 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.

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.

Safari Baby Shower Decoration Ideas

Your safari shower decor can be as wild or as simple as you’d like it to be! No matter what level of decor you decide to include, be sure to tie in shades of greens, browns, and tans throughout your venue to keep things festive and on theme.

Safari Baby Shower Centerpieces

Diy centerpiece.

If you are going to be DIYing the decor of your safari-themed baby shower, go for something simple and striking like this centerpiece. 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.

Photo by Sarah McKenzie Photography

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.

Photo by The Wooz Craft

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.

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!

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!”

Hands up if you’re ready to be dazzled! From a ceremony structure designed to float on water to a jaw-dropping reception room with flowers blooming from every service, we’re swooning over every bit of this wedding. If you can believe it, that’s just the beginning. Julia Kaptelova artfully shot every detail, like the ballet performance guests were treated to and snow falling from the ceiling for the first dance! Prepare to be amazed and take a visit to the full gallery .

From About You Decor … Our design is a symbol of dawn and a distant endless horizon. Ahead is a long, happy life without any borders. An international couple, Pavel and Cherry, met in London and have been walking together for many years.

From the Bride, Cherry… My husband and I we decided to have our summer wedding in Moscow because the city is where his roots are. As we knew we were going to have the other wedding ceremony in China, we wanted our Moscow one to be very personal and intimate. We’ve known each other since we were fourteen, together with many of our friends whom we’ve also known for a decade.

I didn’t want to walk down the aisle twice so the plausibility of my request quickly came into discussion. The open pontoon stage was constructed in order to facilitate the bridal entrance on water, although there were concerns about safety as the last thing we wanted was probably a drowned bride before she could get on stage, picture that! I have to say on that day it wasn’t easy to get on the pontoon stage from the boat, in my long gown and high heels. Luckily my bridesmaids still noticed even though they stood the furthest from me on the stage, and helped me out without prior rehearsal. My girls could just tell whenever I needed a hand or maybe they were just so used to my clumsiness. Who knows 😂

We all love our photographer Julia! She’s so talented and her style is so unique. Our beloved host Alex is exceptional who made everyone laugh and cry. It was truly a blessing to have so many kind and beautiful souls on our big day. Thank you all!

I’m still not convinced this Moscow wedding, captured to perfection by  Sonya Khegay , isn’t actually an inspiration session—it’s just  that breathtaking. From the beautiful Bride’s gorgeous lace wedding dress and flawless hair and makeup to the pretty pastel color palette and stunning ceremony and reception spaces, this wedding is almost too good to be true. Do yourself a favor and see it all in The Vault now!

From Sonya Khegay … It was the last day of April and still very cold in the morning. The weather forecast wasn’t pleasing and no one expected that the sun would come out, but miracles happen and light rain gave way to the warm rays.

I love how all the details went together, you could feel the harmony in everything throughout the entire wedding day from the morning until the fireworks.

A gentle look of the bride, elegant but so airy and unique decor, the fresh and light atmosphere of early spring and, of course, true happiness in the eyes. My heart becomes so warm from these memories, it is always a pleasure to see the birth of a new family of two loving hearts.

You really can’t go wrong with simple: a beautiful Bride , perfectly pretty petals , loved ones all around. But add in an amazing firework show  to cap off the night and simple just became downright extraordinary. Captured by Lena Elisseva , with assistance by  Katya Butenko , this rustic Russian celebration is simply fantastic. See it all in the Vault right here !

From Lena Eliseeva Photo …  This cozy and warm summer wedding of gorgeous Natalia and Anton was in the middle of June. The young couple decided to organize their wedding themselves, and the day was very personal and touching. I am absolutely in love with rustic outdoor weddings, and this one is my favourite because of the free and easy atmosphere.

All the decor excluding the bride’s bouquet was made by a team of ten friends of the bride and groom. And it was charming – a light and beautiful arch, eco-style polygraphy and succulents, candy-bar with caramel apples and berries – sweet joys of summer.

At the end of ceremony the guests tossed up white handkerchiefs embroidered by Natalia’s own hands.

The most touching moment was the happy eyes of the groom’s grandmother, the most estimable person on the wedding. And the fireworks were a bright end to that beautiful day.

These photos from Lena Kozhina are so stunningly beautiful – as in you can’t help but stop and stare – it’s hard to believe it’s real life. But these pics are proof of this gorgeous Bride and her handsome Groom’s celebration at Moscow’s Fox Lodge , surrounded by vibrant colors and breathtaking blooms . Oh, and the idea of prepping for your Big Day outside in the sun ? Brilliant. See more bright ideas right here !

From Lena Kozhina … When we met with the couple for the first time, we immediately paid attention to Dima’s behavior towards Julia. There was a feeling of tenderness and awe, and we immediately wanted to recreate this atmosphere of love, care and warmth on their Big Day.

Later, when we had chosen a green meadow and an uncovered pavilion overlooking a lake as the project site, it only highlighted a light summer mood with colorful florals and a great number of natural woods. The name of the site is Fox Lodge and peach-orange color, as one of the Bride’s favorites, set the tone for the whole design – from the invitations, in which we used images of fox cubs to elements of serving guest tables and other decorative elements with the corresponding bright accents.

Out of the Centre

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
