Baby Shower Jungle Invitations
Adult parties are fundamentally different from parties held for little kids, and even from family style parties. They are meant for the adults to blow off a little steam with some fun adult games and activities. This usually means lots of dancing, drinking and even some gambling. Some popular Adult parties are Bachelorette parties, Bachelor parties, Casino Parties, and Texas Hold ‘em.
YouÂ’ll need to plan ahead for your adult parties. Make sure you have enough drinks to go around. DonÂ’t forget to purchase some fun light up beer mugs or wine glasses to add a little glow to the party. These would go well with fuzzy dice in the form of a party favor. People can never get enough items to hang from their rear view mirrors. So you can also purchase lots of beads to hand out at your adult party, especially if itÂ’s Mardi Gras themed.
Do be sure to check and see about the noise ordinances in your area and to be polite either invite your neighbors to the party or ask them ahead of time how they feel about music being played until the wee hours of the morning. ItÂ’s easy to find a good party mix CD with all the current music hits on it for your party.
A deck of cards and perhaps more than one deck are almost always a good idea to have at adult parties. Random games of Poker and Texas Hold ‘em are liable to break out among your friends. Poker chips are also good to have. You can use them for betting in the games or you can strew them around the party area as decoration.
At the end of the evening donÂ’t let anyone whoÂ’s imbibed a little too much to drive themselves home, thatÂ’s part of being a good host too.

What are your best ideas for a jungle themed Baby Shower?
We’ll be making the invitations (and matching thank you notes), but need ideas for food, decorations, games, prizes, etc. Best ideas gets 10 points! 
Sorry, but *I* didn’t ask for opinions on the shower theme. It matches her nursery bedding, and that’s that.
Sounds like a great shower theme, specially for a boy!!
Food/drink: You can make some Green Shower Punch: 2 liters of ginger-ale, 1 gallon of lime sherbet…add sherbet to bowl and then ginger ale to taste. Buy or make the shower cake & decorate it with little plastic jungle animals.
Decorations: Buy a few bamboo plants and decorate the tables with them. (I’ve seen them at a local mall store & dollar stores for a dollar.) You can even get a few little jungle animals to put around them. Either those little plastic ones or small stuffed ones. You could also get some medium sized stuffed animals and tie 3 helium balloons to them and place on tables as center pieces. (I’ve done that with a bear theme shower before…very cute, big hit!) Get some inexpensive plastic vines to place on tables or decorate walls..and maybe add a fiew little dangling animals on them. Use lots of green & whites to decorate…table covers, streamers, bows…etc. Get some jungle stickers & add it to different items to decorate, such as little gowns made with green napkins. Make a diaper cake with the jungle theme and have it as a huge center piece by making a 3 tier cake. (I’ve done one for the first time last year & it’s really easy make!! HUGE HIT!! You’d be very happy with the end result.) Make a diaper wreath to decorate a door with that same theme. If you or your friends have those plastic indoor trees, you could use a couple at the shower & decorate them with monkeys on the tree or other animals under the tree.
Games: Play regular shower games. You can play hotpotatoe with a monkey or any stuffed jungle animal. Play some jungle music sounds and when you stop the music, the last person holding the animal is out, until the last person left…is the winner. Just try putting as much of the theme into the regular games as possible. You can print out some games, such as the bingo, crossword, searchwords & then later add some jungle animals to them by printing them to the printouts you already made…because then you’ll know where the free space will be. I did this for 2 showers already and they came out great!
Prizes: The same as other showers plus include a few bamboo plants. I’ve even seen bamboo purses to! Very cute for the coming summer months to take to the beach. (Don’t know if they are in style any more though, hehe) Make a few candy wrappers with that same theme & give them out as prizes or favors. Give out soaps in the shape of animals.
I’ve included lots of helpful links, you can get some ideas from…good luck! God bless. Best of all…have lots & lots of fun!!
