If you want to plan a baby shower that isn't the same old typical theme, consider a travel baby shower theme. If mom and dad love to travel, they will enjoy this theme.
Here are some fun ideas for a travel baby shower theme.
Travel Baby Shower Theme Games
Guess the Travel Baby Names - Give everyone a set time period, say five minutes, to write down all the travel-related baby names they can. You can get some ideas with this list of travel baby names.
Guess the Celebrity Baby Birth Town - Research some of the better-known celebrity babies and their birthplaces. This can especially get interesting and challenging with babies who were adopted by celebrities from foreign countries. You can either have people guess outright, or have one side with celebrity babies and the other side with towns and see who can match the most.
How Well Do You Know Mommy-to-Be's Travels - This travel spin on this classic baby shower game can be fun with travel-junkie pregnant moms. Have each guest write down all the places the mom has traveled, and whoever gets the most right wins. You could also make it a quiz about mom's travels, and the winner is the one who gets the most right answers.
Guess that Baby Word - Have a set of words related to babies and motherhood, and translate them into various foreign languages. Then let guests guess what each word means.
Travel Baby Shower Gifts
To further continue the baby shower travel theme, encourage guests to bring gifts related to travel. These doesn't always have to be pricey gifts, but can include everything from books with tips on traveling with baby, to manual breast pumps for moms on the go, to guidebooks on destinations that are baby-friendly. Instead of a baby memory book, get a travel journal for baby's first trips. Get more ideas with Travel Baby Shower Gifts for New Moms.
Prizes for Travel Baby Shower Themes
You can also go with travel themed prizes for the baby shower. Some fun ideas include small travel journals, disposable cameras, guidebooks to a local town, small maps, and pink or blue luggage tags.
Travel Baby Shower Theme Ideas
There are lots of great possibilities to tie babies and pregnancy into your baby shower theme.
Have everyone bring a dish from a different country.
Use postcards from exotic places instead of a guest book. Have each guest bring a postcard from a favorite place, and write why the expected baby and parents should visit.
Have every guest create a fun "Places Baby Must Visit" framed print. Get hard card stock or matt cut the size of a particular frame, such as 11x14. You could also put a map inside a signing framed mat. Put the frame on a stand with the glass removed, and leave out Sharpie pens or some fun pens in baby colors (just be sure they are dark enough to be easily read). As each guest arrives, have them write their favorite destination, why they love it, and why baby must go there. This can make a wonderful keepsake, and something fun for parents and child to look at later (particularly if they've gone those places).
