Cuddly Clothesline Baby Shower Theme
Choosing a cuddly clothesline baby shower theme is one of the easiest ways to make a baby shower fun. Simply chose a color scheme, and use it to select decorations, invitations, favors, and a cake if one will be used. Clothesline games are easy, require very little in terms of items, and the same objects can allow similar games to be played. This means that the host or planner can have more than one fun games without the hassle of securing multiple items for each. All that is needed is a clothesline, some clothespins, and laundry.
Shower Decorations
Basic decorations include balloons, curling ribbons, and crepe paper. These should blend perfectly if the right colors are alternated. Table confetti can also be used to add color to plain tablecloths.
Shower Favors
It is always good to give guests something to remember the event. Whether made or purchased, party favors help to say, “thank you for coming.” Plus, they can be small and inexpensive.
Invitations
Buying packs of themed invitations allow the host to focus on other aspects of the shower, and removes the hassle of trying to come up with suitable ideas. Doing this also makes it easy to coordinate the invitations with the rest of the items being used.

Clothespin Baby Shower Game and Hang The Laundry Baby Shower Game
The “Clothespin” game is easy to learn. A word such as “cute” or “baby” or an action such as “crossing legs” or “laughing” has to be forbidden. Each player is then given a set amount of pins to attach to their clothes; three is ideal. The aim is to be the first to acknowledge that someone in the group has said the banned word, or performed the prohibited action, and collect one of that participant’s pins. The individual with the most pins at the end of the game wins. Using a word or action that is hard to avoid makes the game more challenging.
The “Laundry” game is a lot harder, but should provide a lot of laughs. The aim is to get guests to move from a starting point to a clothesline, where they will hang laundry. They must have a “baby” in one hand and a cellphone in the other. The winner can be the individual with the most laundry pinned up at the end of the game, or within a set amount time. Teams of twos can be chosen, but they must wrap the “inside arm” around each other, leaving only the “outside arm” free. This means they will still be working with only two hands. This game may require a lot of laundry depending on the group size and how the winner is chosen.
Themes are helpful for many reasons, but the main benefits are the ease of planning, the convenience of finding items already done to the theme, and how nicely everything flows. Even people who are new to event planning can look like a pro with a cuddly clothesline baby shower theme, and everyone is guaranteed to have fun. A great way to maintain the theme is to end the day with matching “Thank You” cards.
