Safari Baby Shower Ideas Planning a safari baby shower?  Baby showers can be so much fun to plan and organize – and a jungle / safari theme is a great choice!

You may want to keep things simple and only opt for a few safari style decorations.  Or you may want to go all out and have everything from the invitations to the decorations to the food to the party favors coordinate.

What I love about the safari theme is that it is so versatile.  Keep things neutral with jungle animal colors in their natural state.  Or go pink with pink safari decorations.  Or go blue with blue safari decorations.  You can even mix it up a bit – the natural safari colors with just a hint of blue or pink.

Save yourself the work of filling out each invitation by hand!  You can customize the text and layout of these personalized safari style invitations.  Click on each one to learn more about them and how to order. Safari Baby Shower Decorations
 One simple way to decorate your room is to use these inflatable animals.  They measure approximately 18″ to 24″ when inflated.  One thing to know beforehand is that not all of them stand by themselves when inflated.  You could either hang them from somewhere or use double sided tape on the bottom of them to help them stand.

Scattered around the room – by the gifts, by the food, by the entrance – would give a nice safari type feel to the room.

You can get these inflatable animals here. Balloons make great decorations, making any room look festive!  These balloons work wonderfully with a safari jungle theme baby shower.  The package contains 3 tiger, 3 zebra, 3 leopard and 3 cheetah style balloons.

They can be filled with either air or helium.  According to the reviews, they are sturdy, nice looking and work great with the safari theme!  You can get these balloons here. These safari style tin pails look great filled with candy, peanuts, small crackers or whatever else you can think of.  Use these on your food table or at the tables where your guests will be sitting.

You could also use these as “favors”, putting them by each persons seat and allowing them to take them home.

Hung around the room using yellow rafia ribbon and thumbtacks, these animal print lanterns add a special touch!

These are somewhat fragile and need to be handled with care.  If they do get squished, you can fix it by folding it back up and then opening it up again.

Safari Baby Shower Cakes


Deciding on a cake for your baby shower can by challenging! One option is to go to your local grocery store and order a sheet cake. They usually have a lot of designs to choose from and they probably have something that could work for a safari themed baby shower.
A cheaper alternative is to bake a cake or cupcakes and then decorate them yourself. Take a look at the ideas below for cupcakes and cakes that you can make!

 Plastic Animal Cups

These may not be for everyone 🙂 but these can make a nice addition to your safari themed party.  Placed on the tables, these will add to the general decor of the room.

These can also be used as favors for your guests to take home.

If you have children coming to the baby shower, these can be a fun thing to give them.

These cups come in sets of 12.  Check price here. Safari Cups with Lids

While you probably don’t need cups with lids for the adults at your party (although they can be useful if you won’t be eating at tables), you can just use the cups without lids.

Cute, nothing fancy, but fun to use for some added decorations.

These 8 oz. Hefty cups come in packages of 12.  Check price here. Jumbo Jungle Safari Animals

These animals are large – the giraffe measures 9″ x 13″.  I can see these scattered around the room – maybe on the gift table or the food table or on a table by the entrance where you have a guest book placed.

Give these to the expectant mom as a gift for her baby to play with when he/she is a bit older.  In the meantime, they can be used to decorate the nursery.

The set includes a lion, tiger, gorilla, elephant and giraffe.  Check price here Jungle Animals Peel and Stick Wall Stickers

I thought these were cute enough to include here – but whether or not you can use something like this depends a lot on the room you will be in.

This set includes 26 wall decals.  Easy to use and remove!  Learn more here Safari Animals Peel and Stick Stickers

Like the set above, these stickers could work well if you have a bare wall that could use some easy decorating.
