The baby nursery is a very special part of the home. It is a special for both parent and baby alike. The nurseries arrangement is extremely important as it should provide functionality for parent and comfort for baby. It should not be dominated by furniture and should leave access for the parents to attend to the baby. It is common nowadays to give nursery furniture as a shower gift or a birthday or wedding gift, which helps alleviate some financial burden on the new parents.

Several furniture pieces are essential to the nursery. The crib is the centerpiece of the nursery. Parents should pick out a crib which will mesh with the rest of the nursery pieces. Cradles are also a wonderful part of the nursery. Bassinets are to be used with children up to about 4 months. A changing table is crucial to changing baby. Parents can opt for dresser/changer combinations to maximize space and their wallet. Gliders make a perfect spot for parent and baby to feed and bond. The nursery should be outfitted with all of the elements of a parents or grown ups bedroom.

What crib is complete without nursery bedding? Baby nursery bedding needs to be aesthetically pleasing as well as comfortable for baby. Finding the correct bedding theme will set the tone for the rest of the nursery. The most crucial element to nusery bedding is the mattress. A standard crib mattress will work in just about every crib, with the exception of round cribs. The mattress should feature a high coil count and a foam inner liner. A nice quilt goes well with any crib. Crib sheets protect the mattress from collecting soil or germs. Pillows should not be used in a crib with a baby to prevent SIDS. A bumper and valance are the perfect accompaniment to the crib. Bassinets and cradles can accept crib bedding in many instances. The changing table should have a washable pad on top.

Establishing a baby nursery theme has become trendy among parents. Theme based nurseries feature matching individual pieces. All of the pieces match one central theme. Some of the most popular themes for boys include jungle animals, safaris, sports, and transportation. Some of the most popular themes for girls include princess, butterflies, lady bugs, Hello Kitty and pink. Many parents will opt for neutral nurseries which feature neutral colors and often feature stars and moons as the theme. Picking a theme to the room will help when picking out nursery furniture.

Selecting a Baby Shower Theme: Easy as One Two Three

by: Adriana Copaceanu

No aspect of party planning is more crucial and sometimes mind boggling to a baby shower planner than selecting the baby shower theme. There are almost too many ideas available today, and often the host of a party finds themselves suffering apoplexy at the idea of selecting a baby shower theme.

A small amount of creativity however will be sure to generate success, regardless of the baby shower theme selected. Keep in mind that the mom to be’s happiness is perhaps the greatest priority. Not sure what theme to select? Worried about what might go over well with the guests? Turn to the expectant mom for guidance, and you are certain to come out a winner.

Selecting a baby shower theme should depend on just a couple of critical factors; For example, is the mother expecting a boy, girl, twins or more? Twins are the perfect “theme” for any party of a mother blessed with multiples. You could for example, in this instance offer guests two of everything, including cake!

In times of old a shower was only held for the first child. This tradition has changed however of late, and it isn’t uncommon for a mom to be to have a shower for each child, celebrating their uniqueness and the joy at bringing another new life into the world. Sometimes a variation of the same theme can be used at subsequent showers. Still struggling for ideas? Consider some of the following:

Teddy Bears: What child does not love plush, stuffed and furry teddy bears! Teddy bear themes can be used for male or female children. Napkins, tableware and similar style decorations are sure to be found with teddy bears on them.

Colors: Often a mom to be seeks out gifts and accessories that complement or match the color she has selected for baby’s nursery. You might consider a baby shower theme that matches the color scheme of baby’s nursery. Guests can also be clued in on the invitation, and invited to bring items that will complement the nursery or wardrobe of the baby to be.

Cartoon Characters: Many parents select well known characters to incorporate into their nursery theme and these are easily translated into a baby shower theme. Some ideas include Strawberry Shortcake, Hello Kitty, or Bugs Bunny for example.

Shapes: Some parents may decide on shapes or even objects such as lemons, fish, cubes, circles and triangles to decorate their baby’s nursery. Again, finding decorations and accessories for the shower that match this theme should prove beneficial and inexpensive.

No matter what baby shower theme you select, you are bound to find hundreds of items to complement the event, including decorations, favors and even gifts. Once the baby shower theme has been selected, as a planner the next most important task is setting about planning for the actual party and getting invitations out to the guests to be.

Traditionally, the shower is held at the home of the host; this is not always the case however, and exceptions to the rule might be welcome in some situations. Regardless of where you decide to throw the party, be sure to give guests enough advance notice to plan on attending. This usually requires three weeks to a month’s notice, as most people are already too busy in today’s society!

After selecting a baby shower theme, planning the party is easy. Once invitations have been mailed out and RSVP’s have been received, plan on spending some time making a list of food items that will be needed, decorations you plan on acquiring, settling on party favors and deciding on a few fun games to play. Once you have all of these items sorted out, everything else is bound to fall together and you and your guests are sure to have a delightful time celebrating mom to be!
