A Dr. Seuss Baby Shower

Dr Seuss Baby Shower

~ This wonderful celebration story was shared with us by Maegan of www.scrapaholics.com ~

When Maegan hosted a baby shower for her friend, the inspiration came from her friend keeping the baby's name secret and calling the baby "thing".

"I don't know about you, but when I hear "Thing" I think of Dr. Seuss, thus the shower theme was born."

Since she was co-hosting the baby shower, she took on the design elements while the other two hostesses covered the food/games/guest list.

Baby Shower Invitation

As you can see, Maegan is very talented when it comes to designing. The invitation is so cute!

Baby Shower Colors

The color scheme for the shower was red and teal. Maegan decorated white tablecloths with red circles for a fun festive look.

She used blue and red feather boas and fun red polka dot ribbon on glass canisters filled with fun treats like popcorn, chocolate covered pretzels and Twizzlers.

She even found "Thing 1" Onesies and a "Cat in the Hat" hat!

She also created all sorts of Dr. Seuss-y goodness for the shower, including...

A "The Cat in the Hat" used to hold the messages to the baby from the guests.

They also had a "Guess the Jelly Beans In The Jar" game. Check out the cute sign and poem she made to go with it. Adorable!

Baby Shower Food:

At the shower, they had the most darling (and yummy) "Thing 1" cupcakes, complete with cotton candy for the hair, and Seuss-y parfaits. Have you ever seen anything so cute?!!

"It really was the perfect touch to the shower. Everyone was raving about it."

Baby Shower Activities

They set up a little "photo booth" area at the shower that she stocked with boas, flowers, a hat and a teal frame.

They also had the guests fill out advice cards for the new mom. Don't you love the designs?

As a special mommy gift, Maegan paired the photo of each guest with their advice and created a baby shower album for Marie.

Here are some pictures of the completed photo album...

Thank you Maegan for sharing your fabulous baby shower ideas with us!

***Please note*** We've had lots of requests for a Dr. Seuss baby shower invitation like the one Maegan created above. Unfortunately, she is not able to create one for other parties due to copyright laws. She made it for personal use for the baby shower she hosted. Sorry gals. :( Here are some Dr. Seuss baby shower invitations and supplies can be used.

Wonderfull Ideas !
by: Anonymous

Very well thought of plan! Love a lot of your ideas. I am doing a story book theme and have alot of Dr. Seuss involved. However my daughter wanted a very eclectic book theme witch has proven very difficult. I have every thing Eric Carle, Dr. Seuss , Guess How Much I Love You, On the night you were born, to vintage mother goose. I would have loved to have stuck just to Dr. Seuss. Her shower is in May I will post photos then but I Realy envy your very well done Dr. Seuss theme, Robin

Graphics
by: Nisha- Editor

Hi Amanda,

If you Google Dr. Seuss under images, there are lots of images online that could be used to make your own invitations. You could also scan the book art onto your computer to use to create your own invitations. (I believe that is how she did it.) We've had lots of requests for her to sell the invitations and table cards she made, but due to the copyright laws, they can only be used for her personal use and not to sell. :(

But there are lots of graphics online that you can use to piece together your own designs for invitations/decorations. Also, if you are planning to have little kids there, http://www.seussville.com has some great coloring pages and printable activities to keep them busy. ;)

Hope that helps. Best of luck with the baby shower!

Parfait
by: Nisha- Editor

Hi Tracy,

It looks like she used a strawberry, or cherry flavored Jello for her parfait. Just mix the amount of Jello you would like, according to the package directions. Then refrigerate the Jello until it is firm but not set up. Layer the Jello in your glasses with cool whip to get the red/white look and return to the refrigerator for the Jello to finish setting up.

Comment and Menu Cards
by: Nisha- Editor

Hi there,

I just noticed your comment. Maegan actually created all the cute menu cards and comment cards herself. I know...she is amazing!! She is very talented at design elements and digital scrapbooking. Her website www.scrapaholics.com is a perfect example of it.

Hope that helps!
