Any shower theme will work for an adoption baby shower from yellow rubber duckies to a quaint afternoon tea, however there may be some unique ways to personalize this occasion.

Baby Shower Themed for Child's Birth Country

  • If the baby was born in another country, a shower theme incorporating food, decor, and more from that country would be a wonderful way to celebrate his or her heritage.
  • My neighbors have adopted 2 babies from China and had a wonderful Chinese-themed baby shower in honor of each child.
  • The host served Chinese take-out, used red and gold disposable party supplies, and hung lanterns around the room.

Stork Shower

  • A stork theme is adorable and couldn't be more appropriate with the idea of a baby being delivered by a magical bird!
  • One of my favorite decorations for a new baby is a tall wooden stork stuck in the front lawn letting everyone in the neighborhood know that a baby has arrived. This is a great way to welcome guests to the shower.
  • Look for stork designs on party supplies or simply go with some large stork balloons and fill in the decor with a classic pink or blue motif.

Dress Up the Nursery Party

  • When a baby is born into a family, the parents have 9 months to get the nursery together. There are times when adoptive parents have only a few days to ready a room for the baby.
  • Consider hosting a shower where dressing up the nursery is the theme.
  • Gather all your designer friends and handy pals and go to town assembling the crib, hanging curtains, and even painting the walls!
