Jungle Baby Shower Decorations
Jungle baby shower decorations have grown in popularity over the years. The popularity provides the hostess with
a multitude of options, from the pastel cuteness of traditional juvenile shapes,to the more chic and modern ones.
Either way, this theme is a riot to implement, and even more fun to attend the party itself. The expectant
mother will be forever grateful.
Setting the Scene
There are many options for creating the impression of a jungle indoors. Bring in lots of ferns, ornamental
grasses, palm trees, and large-leafed, waxy household plants to create a green, lush jungle. Faux vines or
paper bags which have been crumpled and rolled tightly can be adorned with green leaves cut from cardstock or
construction paper. Colorful rubber snakes, paper parrots, and feathery fake macaws may rest in the branches.
Consider renting a fog machine to place at the entrance of the party for the full impact of a tropical forest.
Kings of the Jungle
Adorable lions, tigers, elephants, and more can be found on everything from invitations to table service.
Indeed, you will find a bevy of suitable jungle baby shower decorations, as well as in craft and discount
stores. Painted wooden jungle faces and tiny toys can decorate tables, cakes, diaper towers, and even
gifts. Mix it up by using realistic plastic figurines with smooth,wooden ones. From the very small lions
to the giant elephant, thoseplush, stuffed jungle animals are an easy way to fill in any empty spaces and can
double as gifts.
Animal Prints
What could more chic in jungle baby shower decorations than animal prints? These too can be found on
invitations, paper plates, wall hangings, and scrapbooking supplies. Find animal print gift bags, take-out boxes,
or utilize pinking shears to cut cheetah print fabric to use as wrapping paper, table cloths or
placemats. Fuzzy leopard slippers and animal print cosmetic cases are great swag for party prizes. For guest
participation and immediate ice-breaking, ask each person to attend wearing one item of clothing in an animal
print!
Jungle Party Food
The food at a jungle-themed baby shower should stand out and double as jungle baby shower decorations. Try
animal crackers and striped Hershey Hugs strewn over a colorful plate lined with faux fur! “Monkey Chow” is a
delightful mix of dried banana chips, coconut, chocolate chips, and your choice of mixed nuts. Serve liquid
refreshments like fruit punch or banana-pomegranate smoothies. Serve grilled chicken and vegetable kebobs marinated
in pineapple juice on bamboo skewers. For dessert, try a jungle-themed dessert like a pina-colada cake or one in
the shape of a lion.
Lion Cake
Using icing writing tips on a frosted round layer cake; start with black or brown icing and create the oval
eyes. Then, right below the inside corners of the eyes, start lines down for the nose which will end in a
width-wise oval. From the nose, extend down into a smiling mouth. Puff some whipped cream on either
side,and insert string black licorice for whiskers. Finish by creating a thick lion’s mane all around the
edges using quick, short, uneven strokes with a wider tip and yellow, brown or orange icing.
Jungle baby shower decorations can be fun, exotic and interesting, or sweet, adorable and lovely. Mix and
match or stick with a consistent theme – all approaches will create a joyful celebration of new life for the
expectant parents.
