A great idea for a fun theme that takes us back to childhood is about dinosaurs! Whether the mom-to-be is welcoming a boy or a girl, dinosaurs are a fun motif for either, and the party decoration ideas for a dinosaur baby shower are endless!
Dinosaur Baby Shower Invitation
Invitations featuring an adorable baby dinosaur hatched from its egg expressing excitement for the new baby’s arrival are perfect for getting everyone excited and ready for the shower.
Dinosaur Baby Shower Decorations
Here are some creative decorating ideas to turn your space into a prehistoric adventure for celebrating the upcoming arrival of a little one:
- Dinosaur Cutouts and Silhouettes: Decorate the walls with large dinosaur cutouts and silhouettes to set the dino theme. You can have T-Rex, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and other famous dinosaurs.
- Dinosaur Centerpiece: Create a centerpiece with a toy dinosaur or a toy nest with eggs. Surround it with plants and smaller dinosaur figures.
- Dino Footprints Trail: Create a trail of dinosaur footprints leading from the entrance to the main party area. You can use cutouts or stickers of dinosaur footprints.
- Dinosaur Egg Centerpieces: Use large plastic eggs or DIY papier-mâché eggs to create dinosaur eggs as centerpieces for tables. Decorate eggs with cracks and a baby dinosaur peeking out.
- Dinosaur Balloons: Inflate green, brown, and other dinosaur-themed balloons and hang them around the party area. You can also use dinosaur-shaped helium-filled foil balloons.
- Jungle and Greenery: Include a jungle environment by using lots of plants, trees, and foliage. Hang vines and leaves around the venue to create a dinosaur habitat.
- Dino Nesting Area: Make a nest using twigs, branches, and leaves where you can place dinosaur eggs and baby dinosaur plush toys.
- Dinosaur Banner: Hang a “Welcome Baby” or “Rawr Means Love” banner with a dinosaur theme.
- Dino Tales and Facts: Set up small stands or cards around the venue with interesting dinosaur facts and stories for guests to read.
- Dino Photo Booth: Set up a photo booth area with dinosaur props like hats, masks, and tails for guests to wear while taking pictures.
Dinosaur Welcome Sign
Have a poster-sized welcome sign up at the entrance of the party venue welcoming guests with a picture of a group of small smiling dinosaurs of all kinds, and have lots of foliage around in the form of palms or delicious green plants in general.
Dinosaur Theme Phrases
Have mini chalkboards with fun theme-matching spins on phrases like “Dino-mite”, “Hatching Soon!”, “Rawr!”, or “Boys/Girls Rock!”. Make a banner out of wire and clothespins holding cute baby onesies with dinosaur patterns.
Dinosaur Baby Shower Food
Have as much fun with the food creations as you do with the decor! For something tasty, grill or cook burgers and serve them with large lettuce leaves. Prepare a “Herbivore Salad” by making a salad with lots of leafy greens, vegetables, and edible flowers, resembling the diet of herbivorous dinosaurs.
Make homemade kale chips and call them “Dino Scales” for a healthy and thematic side dish.
A volcano cake with dinosaur fondant is a sight, as well as dinosaur pawprint cookies using chocolate or icing, dino egg cake pops, candied eggs with colorful spots, and green-hued themed drink labels that “Dinosaur Punch”. You can create a green or blue punch with lemon-lime soda and pineapple juice. Add sherbet for a frothy look. You can also offer a selection of fruit juices with fun dinosaur-themed labels.
Dinosaur Baby Shower Activities and Games
Planning dinosaur-themed games for a baby shower adds fun and keeps guests engaged. Remember to have small prizes for the winners of each game.
- Dino Trivia: Create a trivia game with questions about dinosaurs and their characteristics. Guests can answer on individual sheets, and the person with the most correct answers wins a prize.
- Dinosaur Egg Hunt: This game idea is perfect if children will be attending the event. Hide plastic dinosaur eggs around the venue or backyard. Guests can hunt for them, and whoever finds the most eggs gets a prize.
- Decorate the Onesie or Bib Station: Lay down dinosaur themed decals so each guest can create their own ONESIE to gift to the mom-to-be.
- Dinosaur Diaper Derby: Divide the guests into groups and have them “diaper” a baby doll or stuffed dinosaur using only one hand. The first team to finish diapering the “baby” wins.
- Dino Bingo: Make bingo cards with different dinosaur names. Call out the names of the dinosaurs, and have guests mark them on their cards. The first to get bingo yells “Grunt!” and won a prize.
- Dino Baby Shower Bingo: Guests fill out bingo cards with potential baby-related gifts. As the mom-to-be opens her gifts, guests mark the items. The first to get bingo wins.
Dinosaur Baby Shower Favors
Sending house guests with dinosaur-themed baby shower favors is a fun way to thank them for celebrating the baby’s upcoming arrival. Here are some creative dinosaur themed favor ideas:
- Dinosaur Planters or Seeds: Provide mini dinosaur planters or packets of seeds for guests to plant their own mini plants.
- Dino Cookie Cutters: Provide dinosaur-shaped cookie cutters for guests to use on their own baking adventure.
- Dino Egg Candies: Fill small bags or containers with candy-coated chocolate eggs and label them “Dino Eggs.”
