We are loving this modern spin on a Safari Themed Baby Shower! This celebration puts a fresh twist on the popular animal print trend, and is such a beautiful way to celebrate the little wild one on the way! Natural elements & wood tones set the scene for an adorable adventure, and a free printable collection helps tie it all together. Editable invitations are included, along with thank you notes, a backdrop poster, and more. Animal Print Embroidery Hoop Art will help you create darling decor for your table, and the DIY Modern Bead and Tassel Keychains make fabulous favors!
A printable "Wild One" poster was the foundation of our party backdrop. We cut thin pieces of bamboo and tied them together with twine to create a natural looking frame, then added some clippings from Bamboo Garland and White Peony Faux Garland to soften the look. Bamboo Fans along with Small Embroidery Hoops wrapped with Animal Print Bandannas were arranged around the poster to create a fabulous focal point for the celebration.
A sweet and simple cake topped with White Peony Faux Garland clippings sat atop a Wood Pattern Cake Stand and served as the centerpiece of the dessert & favor table. A Rattan Natural Lantern with Handle and taper candles displayed in Copper Taper Candle Holders gave the table a welcoming glow. We gave the candle holders a quick coat of gold spray paint to help them better coordinate with the rest of our party decor.
Party favors for the shower included Wooden Bead & Tassel Keychains and White M&Ms® Chocolate Candies tucked inside animal print favor containers. A free editable, printable sign thanked the guests for playing a "key role" in the mom-to-be's new baby adventure and was displayed by the keychains. Visit our step-by-step Wooden Bead and Tassel Keychain DIY for instructions on making the keychains.
To create the candy containers, we spray painted the bottoms of Clear Round Favor Containers gold, then applied a free printable label on top. We hot glued gold-spray-painted Zoo Animal Action Figures to the lid of each container, then secured black beads from the Celebration Pearl Bead Assortment to the top and bottom ends of toothpicks that we colored black with a permanent marker. We added a printable thank you flag to the top of each toothpick then used hot glue to secure the toothpicks to the containers. The free Safari Baby Shower Printables can all be downloaded here.
The table where guests could sit to visit and eat their party food was dressed with a Black Rectangle Polyester Tablecloth. A parade of gold-spray-painted Zoo Animal Action Figures and Pampas Grass in White Ceramic Vases worked together to create a pretty, themed centerpiece. Gold Battery-Operated Votive Candles tucked inside Gold-Flecked Mercury Votive Holders cast a warm glow on the table.
We used Wooden Napkin Rings, DIY Unfinished Wood Snowmen, Small Embroidery Hoops, Animal Print Bandannas and a free printable banner to create unique and stunning baby shower centerpiece signs. Step-by-step instructions for recreating them can be found in this Animal Print Embroidery Hoop Art DIY.
Each place setting was grounded by a Bamboo Print Placemat. Black & Gold Geometric Plastic Dinner Plates complemented the decor beautifully. Animal Print Bandannas were put to clever use as napkins and were displayed inside Wooden Napkins Rings. Porcelain Premium Gold Plastic Cutlery, Tall Gold Stripe Plastic Tumblers, and Gold Foil Striped Paper Straws completed each place setting.
