When to Throw a Jungle Baby Shower

The ideal season to throw a jungle baby shower would be late spring and summer, especially if you’re able to organize the event outdoors. You’re already surrounded by green, so you can often use the natural landscape as a decoration in and of itself. 

Jungle-themed baby showers aren’t just for the summer months, however. If you happen to live in a warmer climate all year round, you’re not really limited by the season!

After all, a region that’s more like a desert (think Arizona or New Mexico) would be the perfect place for a jungle safari-themed party. 

We always say that it comes down to what the expecting momma wants. If she’s set on a jungle baby shower in the dead of winter, you bet you’re going to make that happen for her!

Example Party Schedule

While you don’t have to have a schedule for a baby shower, we like to have a general idea of what will happen throughout the day.

Here’s a sample schedule for a fall baby shower:

1-1:30 pm – Guests arrive and mingle

1:30 – 2 pm – Shower Hostess says a few words and outlines what to expect with when you’re planning food, games and gift opening. This would also be a good time to do a warm up game, like our favorite baby scavenger hunt. This game can help other guests meet each other. If you’re doing a diaper raffle, we recommend introducing it at this time so guests have time to drop off their gift and fill out any raffle entries.

2 – 3 pm – Food and drinks are available

3-4 pm – Baby shower gift opening and diaper raffle. We like to sprinkle raffle prizes in between gifts to keep guests engaged and entertained.

If you’re having part of your shower virtual, this is a great time to have guests log into Zoom!

4-5 pm – Final games and goodbyes

Top Tips for Hosting a Delightful Jungle Theme Baby Shower

Looking for the perfect theme for a baby shower? Does the parent-to-be also happen to love tropical plants and animals? Well, you can’t go wrong with a jungle theme baby shower.

Whether you’re planning your own celebration or arranging all the details for someone you love, this guide offers top tips for creating a jungle baby shower. (Bonus: It’s an adorable gender neutral theme!) Discover party theme ideas, games, activities, and delicious treats to add to your party menu — plus some gorgeous jungle baby shower invitations. 

Adorable Jungle Theme Baby Shower Ideas

Design: Signature Greenvelope

There’s lots you can do with a jungle theme. You can create a glam safari look or opt for a cute baby jungle animal theme. Here are some jungle theme baby shower themes to inspire you — with jungle baby shower decoration ideas to match. 

Transform Your Space Into a Tropical Jungle

For a truly immersive experience, create a space that’s filled with bright, tropical jungle colors, exotic animals, lush greenery, vibrant party decorations, and the sounds of the rainforest. 

Hunt out party supplies that help you bring this idea to life — like a baby shower balloon garland or balloon arch featuring greens, oranges, and yellows, or a jungle-like fabric backdrop to help set the scene. 

Bring in a variety of animals like gorillas, giraffes, tigers, elephants, and multicolored birds, be it with small figurines, giant cutouts, or artwork. Create a playlist of jungle sounds to truly set the mood, and put together goodie bags with fun baby shower favors such as mini zoo animals, animal crackers, personalized lip balms, or other treats for your guests to take home. Sites like Etsy have cute jungle party favors .

Create a Sophisticated Safari Look

If bright greens and oranges aren’t for you, tone down the look a little to create a glamorous safari baby shower instead. A safari theme is the perfect way to combine the playful nature of a jungle theme with a more sophisticated aesthetic. 

When it comes to safari baby shower decorations, contemporary and striking is the way to go. Fill your space with fresh or faux greenery, and borrow zebra stripes for your table linens, backdrops, and party favor bags. Spray paint toy animals in metallic hues to create standout table decorations, and serve up your own signature mocktails and canapés for a luxurious baby shower experience. 

Recreate a Jungle-Themed Movie

Everyone has a favorite movie, and if the parents-to-be love a certain family story set in a jungle, this is the perfect opportunity to turn that into a sweet baby shower theme . Take inspiration from the story of The Jungle Book and create an event that features all the key characters, visuals, and music. 

Host your very own jungle party with cutouts or artwork of the favorites like Mowgli, Kaa, Baloo, and Bagheera, against a jungle theme backdrop that feels like you’re right in the movie. Invest in official stuffed animals and figurines to act as baby shower centerpieces, and queue up the movie’s soundtrack as your party playlist. Host a movie themed trivia quiz and jungle dance party to continue the theme. 

Swap Bold Colors for Pastels

Just because you’re hosting a jungle themed party , doesn’t mean you can only use bold, bright colors, or dark greens and animal prints. Give your theme an adorable twist by hosting a pastel jungle theme baby shower. 

We love the idea of making jungle animals the center of your theme, set against the backdrop of sweet baby pinks, lilacs, yellows, and blues. Invest in or reuse your favorite pastel tableware, linens, and glassware, and add in plenty of jungle and safari stuffed animals and figurines. Swap your traditional party fare for delicious sweet treats like a DIY popcorn bar, ice cream or candy station, and download pretty printable party games to play together. 

Fun Games to Play at Your Jungle Theme Baby Shower Party

Design: Snow + Ivy

Hosting a baby shower is all about surrounding the guest (or guests) of honor with plenty of love, support, and good wishes before they welcome baby. It’s also the perfect opportunity to have fun, play guessing games, and get creative. Try these jungle themed baby shower games for your upcoming celebration. 

Guess How Many Animals in the Jar

Take the traditional “guess how many” party game and put your own stamp on it by swapping balls or candy for toy jungle animals instead. Ask your party guests to guess how many animals are in the jar, with the closest guess winning a prize. 

Not only is this a fun game for everyone, but it makes for lovely great party decor too. Make a feature of it by hanging a sign above the table or adding a giant animal alongside, or go big and swap the jar for a giant canister filled with stuffed animals. 

Baby Animal Dough Challenge

You’ve heard of the baby shower game where you have to create a baby from dough, but this is a themed version of that fun, fast party game. Give your guests some salt dough, set a timer, and challenge them to make their best baby animal. 

What’s great about this jungle theme baby shower game is that you can tailor it to your guests. If they love getting creative, give them more time and encourage people to make something exceptional. For more laughs, set the timer really to just 30 seconds and see what people come up with. This DIY party game is perfect for a safari animals baby shower or a more relaxed jungle party. 

Jungle Scavenger Hunt

Scavenger hunts work great for a kids’ birthday party, but they’re just as fun for baby showers. Hide toys or small objects around your party venue and task your guests to split into teams and recover the most items to win. 

You can make this a competitive game with prizes or keep it relaxed and simply ask guests to tick off their list throughout the event. You could even combine it with another party game and hide diaper bag essentials around for your guests to find and help you pack away. 

Animal Cookie Decorating 

For a relaxing, creative, and cozy activity, you can’t go wrong with cookie decorating. And what better way to make it a wild one than with a jungle themed twist?

Before the party, bake some animal shaped cookies or order them from a local baker. Set up a decorating space with plenty of colored and flavored icing and other toppings. Sit down together and decorate your own cookies that guests can enjoy then and there or take home as delicious party favors. 

Tasty Jungle Themed Baby Shower Food and Drink

Design: Owl and Toad

With so many fun games to play, your guests are going to want some delicious food and drink to help them stay energized. Here are some of our favorite jungle themed baby shower food and drink ideas to help you create an impressive menu. 

Get Your Grill Out

Give your guests a taste of the great outdoors by firing up your grill and hosting a BBQ for your jungle theme baby shower. This is a simple yet tasty option that doesn’t require planning a full sit-down meal menu or bringing in a catering team. 

Try flavorful grilled fish or peri peri chicken , or make some BBQ jackfruit sandwiches using a skillet. Add some slaw, onion dip, guacamole, and other sides or dips to complete the meal. 

Serve Up Plenty of Tropical Fruits

Jungles aren’t just home to some amazing animals — they’re the perfect place to find mouth-watering fruits like bananas, mangoes, pineapples, and papayas. Feature some of these tropical flavors at your party in a few different ways.

Fruit kebabs are always a favorite, or you could cut your fruit into fun shapes if you have any younger kids at the baby shower. Mix the fruit into juices, or create frozen popsicles with fresh fruit. Not only is this a great way to bring some flavor to your party, but the colorful display works as party decor too. 

Hand Out Jungle-Themed Cupcakes

There’s something almost every party needs — a delicious cake. Whether or not you’re having a big baby shower cake, there’s something sweet (literally) about handing out cupcakes to party guests. 

Bake or buy vanilla cupcakes and add cupcake toppers that feature animals or greenery, or try baking these jungle themed cupcakes with adorable jungle animal faces. Always make sure you have plenty of extras — sometimes one cupcake just isn’t enough! 

Create Your Own Mocktails

With so much wonderful food to enjoy, you’ll need some drinks that are just as fantastic. Bring some of those tropical fruit flavors to life by mixing your own mocktails. 

This baby shower idea works perfectly for a sophisticated jungle safari baby shower, or if you simply want a fun twist on standard fruit juice. Create your own signature mocktails with jungle-inspired names or set up a station where guests can make their own creations.

Jungle Theme Baby Shower Invitation

Every baby shower starts with an invitation! It’s up to you if you send it digitally via text or shared on social media, but I’m definitely a printed invitation kind of party planner. Printed invitations make for a great keepsake. Zazzle is a great place to get printed invitations. But if you’d rather print or text yourself, check out these DIY jungle baby shower invitation ideas below.

Jungle Baby Shower Decorations

Decorations definitely set the tone for an event. Whether or not it’s chill and laid back or something sophisticated and spectacular that they won’t forget, decorations plays a huge part! Because it’s a jungle themed baby shower, make them feel like they’re in the safari and bring nature elements inside.

Grab this giraffe that measures over 4 feet tall from Amazon . This would make for the perfect decor and can double as nursery decor when the baby shower is over.

When decorating, don’t forget to add jungle leaves and animals throughout the space.

Here’s a quick list of Boy Story baby shower ideas for classic baby shower games, but don’t be afraid to do something new and unique!

GAME SHEETS

You could grab this set of printed game sheets . It already comes with pencils and games such as Price is Right, Baby Descriptions and well wishes, Bingo, Word Search, and Guess Who: Mommy or Daddy. Or you could consider a more risqué set like this , especially if your baby shower is co-ed, that includes games like Baby Bump or Beer Belly, Boobs or Butt, and Love or Labor.

Baby Shower Sheet Cake

A traditional sheet cake definitely can meet expectations. To give it a more personalized look, have a custom edible icing image made to match your invitation and your guests will enjoy the classic taste of awesome baby shower cake.

S afari Baby Shower Tiered Cake

For a large baby shower, consider going for a tiered cake. This would allow for more than enough servings. Plus with a tiered cake you can personalize each tier to have different flavors.

I hosted this Jungle Themed Baby Shower for one of my friends who was having her first baby. It was so much fun celebrating her and her new baby.

First things first, pick your Theme, colors and then choose your invitations. Get the guest list from the mother to be and contact info for everyone.

I used some printables that I found on Etsy that made the decor, invitations, and everything related easy as well as so adorable. There are so many great ways to make or buy customizable invitations nowadays.

I loved that these printables were easy to customize. Here are the items I ordered and then took them to the UPS store and had them printed out on card stock and other papers.

• Water Bottle Labels
• Welcome Sign
• Cake Topper
• Centerpiece
• Cupcake Toppers
• Baby Banner
• Animal Cracker Game Sign/Cards them on Etsy

For the decorations, I used jungle leaves that I bought from the party store (you can get them on amazon too) and layered them under the desserts on the serving table and on my island where I served the food.

I catered sandwiches and soup from a local grocery store which made hosting so much easier.

I have made all the food for other showers I’ve hosted in the past but this one I decided to order the food ahead of time since I was short on time to prepare.

Make sure if you do this, you give plenty of notice to whoever or wherever you cater it from.

Because this was on a Saturday and mid day, I decided to do soup and sandwiches.

I also had fruit and veggie trays, and fresh rustic bread from the bakery.

I served water in the water bottles and then also made my Pink Party Punch which is always a hit.

For dessert, I had cupcakes and used the cupcake toppers on those and I had my friend, The Blonde Who Bakes , make a jungle themed cake and macarons in the color of the baby shower theme colors. I also had some custom sugar cookies made by a local cookie artist. Are these not the cutest jungle themed cookies? Everyone loved them!

I asked the Mom to be what her favorite cake and macaron flavors were and those were what I had my friend make!

I served lunch on my kitchen island buffet style and this works great so everyone can serve themselves and it’s more informal which is what I prefer! I want everyone to feel welcome in my home!

I set a simple jungle themed tablescape using some faux olive branches and garlands and set the table with some green dinnerware.

For the games we played the Animal Cracker game and a few others I can’t recall. It’s been a year since I hosted this and am finally getting this up on the blog! Forgive me for not remembering the other games. (I’m pretty sure I delegated that to the mom to be’s other friends so that’s why I can’t remember)

Speaking of delegating, I highly recommend delegating to others that offer to help or want to be involved in celebrating the arrival of a new baby!

I always find that everyone wants to help so include everyone that offers if you want help! It makes people feel a part of the celebration and who doesn’t love celebrating a new baby and mother to be!

You can also set up a table with a sign that says “gifts” so everyone knows where to set their gifts down.

I also included a note in the invitation on where the mom to be was registered and also offered an option to contribute to a group gift so we could purchase some larger items that would be helpful for the first time parents.

Overall this was a wonderful celebration of my sweet friend Kim, (I call her Kimmy) and she’s like another daughter to me. I love celebrating every baby and mother and this one was extra special to be a part of!
