Monkeyin' Around Baby Shower Decorations, Supplies, and Party Ideas

• Try layering solid colored napkins with your themed ones and add streamers in different colors for an inexpensive, yet colorful, presentation.
• Balloons make a dramatic statement when placed in large bouquets around your party venue.
• Add tropical plants with lots of greenery for a jungle feel.
• Banana leaves placed down the center of your table make a great table runner, and are inexpensive too!

• For new Moms, pregnancy can sometimes feel like it takes forever! But in the animal kingdom some animals are pregnant a whole lot longer than nine months. List animals down one side of a piece of paper; then on the other side, write how many days those animals are typically pregnant. The guests must then match the animals to the correct amount of time they are pregnant. Everyone will feel sorry for the poor things that are pregnant for longer than a year!
• Test your monkey skills! Choose a few people to sit in the middle of the room on chairs. Explain that this game is going to test their monkey agility and balance. If any monkey can perform a basic task, a new mother should be able to! Place an empty bowl in each of the contestant's laps, blind fold them. Then put a bowl of cotton balls on top of their heads. The object of the game is to get the most cotton balls from the bowl on their head to the bowl in their lap. Here's the catch...hand them each a spoon and tell them it's the only tool they can use! This is a really funny game to watch because the cotton balls are so light that the contestants won't know if they are on the spoon! The person who transfers the most cotton balls from their head to the bowl in their lap either before time expires or the bowl on their head falls, wins a prize.
