If you are looking for a baby shower fit for a king, a “Where the Wild Things Are”-themed baby shower is for you! Inspired by Maurice Sendak’s beloved children’s book, this theme captures the magic and adventure of the wild rumpus with imaginative decorations, food, and activities.
“Where the Wild Things Are” Invitation
Set the tone for your wild adventure with baby shower invitations that capture the essence of “Where the Wild Things Are.” Choose designs featuring iconic elements like Max in his wolf suit, the Wild Things, or the boat Max sails on. Use a color palette of greens, browns, and golds to reflect the natural and whimsical setting of the story.
Include phrases like “Join Us for a Wild Rumpus to Celebrate [Baby’s Name]!” or “Let the Wild Rumpus Begin!” Personalize the invitations with event details and consider adding a touch of gold foil or a small wild-themed charm for extra flair. You could also include a quote from the book, such as “I’ll eat you up, I love you so,” to add a heartfelt touch.
“Where the Wild Things Are” Baby Shower Decorations
As part of decorations, you can have cupcake or a cake topper saying ‘WE’LL EAT YOU UP, WE LOVE YOU SO’, with food labels, ‘THINGS TO EAT”. Another simple way to have all decors matching would be to purchase the themed digital paper and use the pattern to create banners, cake bunting, cupcake wrappers, and all other essentials to decorate for the theme! Ensure to incorporate little yellow crowns, all things nature and fun phrases from the storybook everywhere, on the desserts, decorations and favors.
You can have Crown shaped cookies, and balloons with lots of cute yellow crown shaped papers stuck on them. You can even have phrases written with black marker on white balloons. To welcome the guests, you can prepare a welcome table with a sign ‘SWING ON BY AND SIGN THE BOOK.’ Guests can leave a message for the mommy to-be, or parents to-be if it is a co-ed shower.
“Where the Wild Things Are” Food
You can serve finger foods like mini sliders, fruits and vegetable sticks with dip, corn chips, sandwiches, sausage rolls, mini meat pies, quiche, and cheese platters. Label each dish with themed names like “Wild Bites” or “Max’s Munchies.”
Desserts Table
Create a dessert table filled with themed treats like cupcakes decorated with crowns and Wild Things faces, delicious cookies and donuts, and any other sweets that mom-to-be is craving!
Wild Drinks
Serve a “Wild Rumpus Punch” made with tropical fruit juices and sparkling water. Provide a selection of teas and lemonades in mason jars, and offer a hot chocolate bar for a cozy touch.
“Where the Wild Things Are” Favors
For baby shower favors, you can prepare some handmade cupcakes in a box with thank you tag saying ‘DON’T GO, WE’LL EAT YOU UP, WE LOVE YOU SO’. Instead of cupcakes, you could make it a large chocolate chip cookie, which is easier to do the packaging. Seed Packets are also a great idea. Provide small packets of wildflower seeds with a tag that says “Plant these and let your own wild rumpus grow.”
“Where the Wild Things Are” Games
Baby shower activity can be a ‘design your own baby bib’ or baby onesies. Have a design station with a cute signboard with ‘MAKE YOUR OWN THINGS WILD’! Other fun activities include guessing how many jelly beans there are in a jar or a baby bottle.
You can also go for other popular games including baby name race game where guests have to think of a name starting with each letter of the alphabet. Whoever finishes first is the winner.
