Dinosaur Baby Shower Invitations

Before you start planning the menu and decorations, there's one important aspect that sets the tone for your entire event – the invitations. This will give your guests the first impression of your baby shower, so make it count! You could go for a cartoon-style look with adorable and vibrant baby dinosaurs or opt for a more elegant and refined approach with watercolor dinosaurs. Whatever style you decide on, be sure to stick to your chosen color scheme or a nice, cohesive look. Get playful with your invites using phrases like Join us for a dino-mite baby shower! or Stomp, Chomp, and Celebrate! You could even incorporate some dinosaur puns to keep the theme going. 

Be sure to list all the crucial info: the date, time, place, RSVP details, and any special instructions. This could include a request for guests to wear dino-themed outfits or follow a specific color palette. For those who prefer a more eco-friendly option, digital invitations are a great alternative. Several online shops offer a variety of customizable dinosaur-themed templates that you can personalize to your heart's content. You can also buy invitations with matching cards like Books For Baby card, Diaper Raffle card, and Thank You card.

To make the celebration extra fun, organize some entertaining baby shower games and activities for your guests. First up, we have the Dino Egg Hunt. This game is a spin-off of the classic Easter egg hunt but with a prehistoric twist. Put small toys, candy, or even little notes with baby shower trivia in small plastic eggs. Hide them around the venue and let the guests hunt for them. If you want to test your guests' knowledge of all things dinosaur, then Dinosaur Trivia is the game for you. Prepare a set of questions from simple to tricky, and see who can answer the most about these prehistoric creatures. You can even throw in some baby-related questions for a mix. Last but not least, we have the Dinosaur Dig. This game is perfect for an outdoor baby shower or if you have enough space indoors. Bury some small plastic dinosaur toys in a large container filled with soil. Give your guests little shovels or scoops, and let them dig for treasures. Whoever finds the most dinos wins! It's a game that will bring out the childlike wonder in your guests and add an element of adventure to the baby shower.

Dinosaur Baby Shower Decorations

Transform your space into a dinosaur haven that's bursting with prehistoric charm. Stick with earthy tones like greens, browns, and tans, but you can also throw in some bright hues such as orange, yellow, and turquoise for a pop of color. This will set the perfect backdrop for your dinosaur decorations. Of course, you can't have a baby shower without a welcome sign. But instead of going for a generic one, why not go all out with a cute Welcome to the Prehistoric Party! sign featuring friendly dinosaurs? This not only sets the mood right from the start but also lets your guests know that they are in for a roaring good time.

Craft balloon garlands in your chosen color scheme, and include some dino-shaped balloons for extra flair. You can use these to decorate the entrance and dessert table or use them as a photo backdrop. And for the table settings, opt for dinosaur-inspired plates, cups, napkins, and tablecloths. To bring a touch of nature to the table, you could also use toy dinosaurs surrounded by greenery and faux rocks as centerpieces. For the crafty host, painting small plastic dinosaurs in metallic hues can bring a chic touch to the decor. Consider having a photo booth with a dinosaur backdrop where everyone can take cool pictures to remember the party. Providing dino-themed props like hats, tails, and masks will take the photos to the next level.
