Noah’s Ark is a very sweet, versatile idea for the baby shower theme. You get to play with lots of animals and boats, so and you can make a lot of decorations based on that theme. This theme is perfect for moms to be expecting a little boy and they intend to name him Noah. You can also organize Noah’s Ark baby theme for ladies who are big animal lovers. The concept from the Noah’s Ark, the animals coming in pairs on the boat, makes this theme suitable when twins are expected. The possibilities are endless: Noah’s Ark cake, foods shaped like little boats, and Noah’s Ark centerpiece.
Foods shaped like little boats
A lot of snacks can be made to look like little boats. You can take, for example, small lettuce leaves (they look like little boats) and fill each one of them with shrimp salad, cream cheese or other type of filling. Also, red peppers make great boats: just cut them in quarters and put inside small bites of hard cheese, bacon and olives. You can cook boat shaped pastries; it’s actually very easy. All you have to do is buy frozen dough, cut the dough in rectangles, put some filling (sweet or salty) inside squeeze the short ends to make it look like a boat. Another idea would be to bake or to buy biscuits shaped like little boats. You can decorate them with chocolate mousse and fruits, for a good looking and tasty treat.
Noah’s Ark Cake
Making a Noah’s Ark cake is quite easy. You can bake the cake in a normal tray, circular or rectangular, and to decorate it with a marzipan boat and marzipan and jelly animals. You can find a lot of things to decorate the cake, so you don’t have to waste a lot of time. Buy jelly animals and fruits, for example. You can also add a pigeon to the cake’s decoration, since the pigeon was the first bird on Noah’s Ark that spotted the land.
Noah’s Ark centerpiece – make one from diapers and baby towels
All you have to do is use your imagination. Take some baby towels, roll them and tie the ends, to make a boat-like shape. You can add sails to your Noah’s Ark made from baby diapers. Inside the centerpiece, you can put presents for the baby: animal toys and animal books. A great idea is to add some flowers to the ark, made of baby socks, or a teddy bear also made from baby towels.
All the other decorations from the party – balloons, tablecloths, napkins, plates and glasses – can be printed with Noah’s Ark themes. Search online and you’ll find a lot of great party items you can order for a Noah’s Ark baby shower theme. A nice touch would be to put small animal toys inside the balloons, before you blow them up, which will make great gifts for the baby. Also, remember to order invites that fit with the same Noah’s Ark theme.

The Most Popular and Adorable Themes for a Baby Shower
Anybody who is stumped for ideas when planning a baby shower would definitely appreciate knowing the most popular and adorable themes for a baby shower. These would be something that everybody would enjoy and also could be a foundation for making the baby shower reflect more of the mommy-to-be.
Color showers are always going to be popular. While many would go for the tried-and-true pink, blue, and white, there's nothing wrong with being more adventurous and trying out a Tiffany blue or chocolate brown theme instead. And if they're combined with one or two complementary colors, they'll be really exciting.
The Disney baby theme is one that could cause a lot of reminiscing. While the Disney babies are a relatively new variation, they're still the classic characters that everyone knows and loves. So whether the baby shower is focused on a specific one or on the whole gang, it's sure to be a theme that will elicit a lot of comments that start with “Do you remember...” and “When I was small...”
Ducklings and the rubber duckie are another favorite baby shower theme. The rubber duckie especially is so adorable that it even has a song dedicated to it! Why not use this childhood icon for a Rainy Day baby shower? Imagine a rubber duckie and an umbrella together and you've got the basis for a really adorable shower.
A bunny is a quintessential baby symbol. “Bye Baby Bunting” talks about babies and bunnies, although a much gentler and cuter theme would be “Peter Rabbit” and his brothers and sisters. With a baby shower based on Beatrice Potter's classic children's books, you'll have a celebration that will have people talking.
Chirping chicks are another symbol that is easily connected to babies. These little yellow balls of fuzz are a pretty icon for a Barnyard Baby Shower or one that emphasizes its fun nature. Henny Penny or Chicken Little are great examples of that.
Frogs can be cute, too! Although Mr Toad in “Wind in the Willows” isn't a frog, it's still a nice theme for a baby shower. To pull from Beatrice Potter again, “Jeremy Fisher” may be a story that is worth basing a baby shower on. What's nice about this theme is that it can work for boys and girls alike!
The adorable monkey is one beloved icon. And if the popular Coco Jocana is used as a theme, it may get the mommy-to-be planning changes for her nursery as well. And remember, where monkeys are, bananas and coconuts are, too.
What about Sweet Pea? While it could be the green pea or the aromatic flower that's being talked about, why not make it something unexpected and base the baby shower on Sweet Pea in Popeye!
Racing cars would be another great topic. And don't get started on whether this is gender specific or not! There are quite a few gifted female racers out there.
And lastly, why not take the opportunity to create a feeling of heritage around the parents-to-be? Plan the party around their own parents, and even their grandparents. It will be a great way to get those stories together on where the clan started.
