Owl Baby Shower: Whooooo Doesn't Love a Baby?

Owls are so trendy these days! The crafty, clever moms in Handmade Holidays recently brainstormed ideas for FarFromLifeLess' upcoming baby shower. The theme?

Owls: Whoooo Doesn't Love a Baby?

Do you love it? I think it's the cutest idea ever. Here are some ideas for invitations, games, food, decorations, and more!

Invitations:

Make your own (like FarFromLifeLess is doing), or find cute owl baby shower invitations at Twig & Thistle, Polka Dot Design, or Tiny Prints.

Decorations:

I love these Little Paper Owls from Stampin' Mama. They would be adorable as a table decoration or as placecards for guests:

Carrie_Grace had some adorable ideas for crafts and decorations: Owl mobiles made with scrapbook paper and hung over the tables; Stuffed owls hung around the room; and this adorable Owl Garland from Moonstiches (baby shower themed, of course!):

Games:

Valerie0103 suggested "Whoooo's the baby." Guests bring a photo of themselves as babies and everyone guesses who's whoooo.
Vantastic suggested a variation of "Marco Polo." The mommy-to-be is blindfolded, and guests say, "Who" and see if mommy-to-be can guess "Who" it is! Then, the "who" becomes the next person to be blindfolded!

Food:

Serve owl-shaped cookies. Amazon.com has an owl-shaped cookie cutter.
Make chocolate-iced owl cupcakes with Oreos and Junior Mints. Real Simple has decorating instructions.

Do you have any more ideas for an owl-themed baby shower?

Who Has a Cute Owl Hat? Who Who?

has shoes that make people stop her on the street and ask "Where did you get those?" but it doesn't work for taxi cabs as she was hit by one ... and lived to tell the tale. She has more freckles than Lohan but way less attitude. And she's a fierce cook with tons of recipes to share -- and wishes she could share some with Bourdain.

I didn't realize owls were trendy right now. Makes sense why I picked up a CUTE soft green and brown owl outfit for Aurora from Carter's. :)

Owls are the messengers of death in my culture, so no, I'm not into owls. It's kinda annoying that they're popular, so many cute outfits, marred by an owl. :(

...marred by an owl. Not meaning to be disrespectful, but that made me smile :)

Don't worry, my husband laughed when he read it over my shoulder too

I don't get the owl thing either. My friend ordered baby shower invitations for my shower at Announcingit.com and they were on a shimmery blue paper and had matching shimmery blue envelopes. All my guests loved them. I guess I like the more traditional invitations, not the latest trend.
