A John Deere shower is an option for a baby boy.
John Deere is a company known best for its signature green and yellow tractors and farm equipment. The company has a very loyal following and as a result, a variety of merchandise is available from clothing to toys. Holding a John Deere-themed baby shower makes a cute option for those who are having a baby boy. Pre-made decorations, plates and other party accessories are readily available from party stores and online retailers. Does this Spark an idea?
Invitations
Make the theme of the baby shower clear from the very beginning by sending out John Deere-themed invitations. Ideas can be simple, like using yellow paper, bordered by green and stamped with the John Deere logo. You could also go for a highly detailed option such as cutting out tractor shapes from construction paper and adding details like a farmer sitting on the top. Commercial invitations with a John Deere theme are available for purchase as well.
Decorations
Deck out the party location in the colors of green and yellow. Make bundles of green and yellow balloons to place on each of the tables. Hang streamers from the walls in addition to pictures of John Deere tractors and farm equipment. Many wall decorations are commercially available or you can print pictures you find on the internet for a cost-effective option. Arrange diapers in the shape of a tractor and hold them together with yellow and green ribbons.
Food
Tie in all the baby shower food to the John Deere theme in multiple ways. If lunch or dinner will be served, serve hearty home-cooked dishes that evoke the feeling of being down on a farm. Suggestions include fried chicken, potato salad, corn-on-the-cob, baked beans, vegetables and stew. If you're opting for lighter fare, cut sandwiches in the shapes of a tire or a vegetable tray with dip tinted green with food coloring. Make some punch by pouring ginger ale over lime sherbet.
