Use names from the 1960's icons, such as Humphrey Bogart, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop, Ella Fitzgerald or Miles Davis, to name a few.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p$1&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Table Decorations ~&lt;/strong&gt; Sticking with our classic color theme, we love white tablecloths with a black runner though the middle. For the centerpiece, a large martini glass filled with our accent color of red in the form of bouquets of red roses, &lt;a href="http://www.partyfavorsbydesign.com/colored-floating-candles.aspx"&gt;colored floating candles&lt;/a&gt;, rose petals, &lt;a href="http://www.partyfavorsbydesign.com/mystic-crystals.aspx"&gt;mystic crystals&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;candies, fruit&amp;nbsp;and more. You could place martini glasses at each place setting or have them organized in a dramatic display at the martini bar.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p$1&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FoOnwYDUFpU/TVv8-eKDQNI/AAAAAAAAAMk/NhstXMgG2Kw/s1600/martini-theme-wedding-recep.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="244" j6="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FoOnwYDUFpU/TVv8-eKDQNI/AAAAAAAAAMk/NhstXMgG2Kw/s400/martini-theme-wedding-recep.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p$1&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;{Images courtesy of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://wedding.decoratrends.com/2010/07/black-wedding-decor.html"&gt;Wedding Decor Ideas&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://www.brandeiscatering.com/alumni.html"&gt;Brandeis Catering&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://muchomartiniglasses.com/traditional-martini-glasses/"&gt;Mucho Martini Glasses&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://blog.pinkcakebox.com/red-rose-damask-wedding-cake-2009-08-29.htm"&gt;Pink Cake Box&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://www.partyfavorsbydesign.com/wedding-themes-martini-wedding.aspx"&gt;D&amp;amp;J Party Favors by Design&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/centerpiece-idea-18-martini-glass-w-fruit-038-flowers"&gt;Wedding Bee&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;amp; &lt;a href="http://www.loungeappeal.com/"&gt;Lounge Appeal&lt;/a&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p$1&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lounge ~&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;For a martini themed wedding what could be more perfect than having lounge chairs placed around the perimeter of the dance floor for your guests to kick back in, sip their martinis and watch those guests&amp;nbsp;brave enough to cut loose on the dance floor?&amp;nbsp;Check out &lt;a href="http://www.loungeappeal.com/"&gt;Lounge Appeal&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for event furniture rental options. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p$1&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;/p$1&gt;&lt;/p$1&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;And, in keeping with the lounge atmosphere, lighting should be&amp;nbsp;soft (think candles and dimly lit lights). Make sure though that your candles are not strongly scented. We don't want anyone going home with a headache from strongly scented candles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p$1&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Martini Bar ~&lt;/strong&gt; Think dramatic by incorporating pyramid displays of martini glasses at your bar, a neon martini bar sign and a showman bartender. You want your martini bar to catch your guest's attention as soon as they enter your reception. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Create a martini drink menu and place them on each table and the bar. Consider naming your martini's after your bridal party or 1960's icons. And, stock your bar with martini accessories such as cocktail shakers, a Hawthorne strainer, ice bucket with tongs, shot glasses, jiggers, cocktail picks, personalized cocktail napkins&amp;nbsp;and garnishes such as&amp;nbsp;gourmet olives, fruit slices and&amp;nbsp;colored&amp;nbsp;flavored sugar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Need some martini drink recipies and ideas?

All you need to do this is to purchase a few supplies from your local scrapbooking store, set aside some time to create them&amp;nbsp;and you'll be on your way. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;What should you purchase to make your own invitations? You'll need&amp;nbsp;some basic supplies such as&amp;nbsp;card stock, stamps and ink or die cuts (leaves, branches and owls), scissors, glue or tape and possibly ribbon to tie a bow at the top of your invitation for that extra special touch. Don't forget to keep your color scheme in mind when shopping for your invitation making supplies. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Here's a&amp;nbsp;great video from MACM on YouTube called &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMx0_8y2mfo"&gt;A Little Note (Owl)&lt;/a&gt;. In this segment she creates a little note (owl) in no time at all. They are absolutely adorable and with a few simple color modifications and by adding your baby shower information to the inside of the card&amp;nbsp;you can easily make this "note" into a beautiful owl baby shower invitation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://2.gvt0.com/vi/EMx0_8y2mfo/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EMx0_8y2mfo&amp;fs=1&amp;source=uds" /&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /&gt;&lt;embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EMx0_8y2mfo&amp;fs=1&amp;source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;One more thing, since we all know that owls are associated with reading...why not ask your guests to bring a children's book for the mom-to-be by noting that in your owl baby shower invitations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Decorations: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Banner&lt;/strong&gt; -﻿ We found the cutest pattern from MOONSTITCHES for a &lt;a href="http://moonstitches.typepad.com/moonstitches/2007/11/zakka-style-owl.html"&gt;Zakka Style Owl Pennant&lt;/a&gt; that would make the most adorable baby shower banner. These little homemade fabric owls hang from a string and have a different letter on each owl. The possibilities with these little guys are endless. You could personalize the letters with the mom-to-be's name, due date, baby's name, it's a boy, it's a girl, etcetera, etcetera. And, by selecting fabrics in your color scheme these would make just an amazing finishing touch to your owl theme baby shower decorations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Table Decorations&lt;/strong&gt; - MOONSTITCHES hit it home again with their pattern for a &lt;a href="http://moonstitches.typepad.com/photos/tutowlrial/"&gt;Swarm of Owls&lt;/a&gt;. These little owls are delightful and would be absolutely amazing when made in your color scheme and placed in little "swarms" on your event tables around vase filled with tree branches. And, speaking of tree branches, they would also make great decorations for your owl themed baby shower if placed around the room in large, stylish planters. And, why not set some of your owls on the branches for that little extra special touch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TROIx6B5_XI/AAAAAAAAALE/VJ9kU9YOEgY/s1600/Owl+baby+shower+decorations.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TROIx6B5_XI/AAAAAAAAALE/VJ9kU9YOEgY/s400/Owl+baby+shower+decorations.jpg" width="351" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;{Images from MOONSTITCHES - &lt;a href="http://moonstitches.typepad.com/moonstitches/2007/11/zakka-style-owl.html"&gt;Zakka Style Owl Pennant&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href="http://moonstitches.typepad.com/photos/tutowlrial/"&gt;Swarm of Owls&lt;/a&gt;; Diaper Cakes Mall - &lt;a href="http://diapercakesmall.com/diaper-cake-ideas-c-67/forest-night-owl-diaper-cake"&gt;Forest Night Owl Diaper Cake&lt;/a&gt;; Vastu Design Clique - &lt;a href="http://blog.vastudc.com/2009/07/bringing-the-outside-in-pt-1-branches/"&gt;Decorative Tree Branches&lt;/a&gt;; Plates and Napkins - &lt;a href="http://www.platesandnapkins.com/pan/big-dots-brown-beverage-napkins.html"&gt;Big Dots Brown Beverage Napkins&lt;/a&gt;; Hostess with the Mostess - &lt;a href="http://www.hostessblog.com/2009/11/diy-video-making-owl-stir-sticks/"&gt;Owl Drink Stir Sticks&lt;/a&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Centerpieces&lt;/strong&gt; - Baby diaper cakes always make great centerpieces for your baby shower head table or food table. Why? Not only to they help bring your baby shower theme together, they also play double duty by being a great gift for the mom-to-be. A simple seach on Google for "owl diaper cake" gave us a ton of options to select from in every color, design, shape and size you can think of. We love the &lt;a href="http://diapercakesmall.com/diaper-cake-ideas-c-67/forest-night-owl-diaper-cake"&gt;Forest Night Owl Diaper Cake&lt;/a&gt; from Diaper Cakes Mall and it goes beautifully in our collage above. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tableware&lt;/strong&gt; - We love the idea of pairing brown and white, pink or blue polka dot tableware with the owl baby shower theme. It's a fun and clever way to bring everything together. And, you can spice it up a bit by using solid table cloths in your color scheme.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;What about using mason jars to serve your drinks in topped off with homemade &lt;a href="http://www.hostessblog.com/2009/11/diy-video-making-owl-stir-sticks/"&gt;Owl Drink Stir Sticks&lt;/a&gt;. We found a DIY video on the Hostess with the Mostess' Blog and LOVE this idea. It's so outdoorsy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Place Card Holders - &lt;/strong&gt;We found the cutest homemade &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke0eUGBIevA"&gt;Chubby Owl Place Card Holders&lt;/a&gt; from My Darling Cupcakes on YouTube. They are so adorable and super easy to make. Plus, she gives you the pattern for them right on her &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/mydarlingcupcakes"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; Page.

And why shouldn't they be? Who wouldn't want to enjoy some relaxing spa treatments while hanging with the girls and throwing back a few drinks? Feeling inspired to have your own home &lt;em&gt;sparty&lt;/em&gt;? Here's some ideas for thought:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Kind of Spa Party Do you Want to Have?&lt;/strong&gt; This is the very first question that should be answered before you begin planning your event. Once you have this figured out, everything else should fall right into place. Here are some ideas for your home spa party:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Hire a professional to come to your home to give facials, massages, manicures and/or pedicures.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Hire a mobile spa company&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;For the budget conscience, have a do-it-yourself:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Mani / pedi party&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Facials party&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Makeover party&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Massage party&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Hot tub soak&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Color Scheme:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;When we think of the spa we automatically think of relaxation. So, of course you’ll want to choose a relaxing color scheme for your spa party. The most prominent spa colors are seafoam green, aqua blue, dark brown, white and beige. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TPwy12sgT4I/AAAAAAAAAI4/STNx97zN2Es/s1600/Spa-Party-Color-Scheme.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="102" ox="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TPwy12sgT4I/AAAAAAAAAI4/STNx97zN2Es/s400/Spa-Party-Color-Scheme.gif" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Dark Brown ~ Gives us a connection to the earth and provides us with a feeling of completeness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Seafoam Green ~ Reminiscent of the sea, seafoam green leaves us with a cooling and calming effect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;White ~ Considered to be a neutral color, white leaves us with the feeling of fresh beginnings, peace and innocence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Aqua Blue ~&amp;nbsp;A calming color&amp;nbsp;that can help release anger&amp;nbsp;and therefore offer emotional and mental balance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Beige ~&amp;nbsp;A friendly, non-offensive and safe color.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TPw1VNiCJiI/AAAAAAAAAI8/qvmrxHsq0L0/s1600/bigstock_Zen_Spa_Retreat_1606126.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" ox="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TPw1VNiCJiI/AAAAAAAAAI8/qvmrxHsq0L0/s320/bigstock_Zen_Spa_Retreat_1606126.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Invitations:&lt;/strong&gt; Of course, when deciding what will be the perfect invitations for your event, you’ll want to make sure they are spa related. The great thing about this type of party is that you can easily make your own spa party invitations with card stock and stamps or you can purchase them printed for your event. Either way, the ideas are endless when it comes to invitations. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Here’s a great &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0OMIZIfbUE"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;video&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; we found on YouTube that walks you through creating invitations for a spa party. They used a bathtub stamp on their invitations but you can choose any stamp that fits your needs. So, if you decide you are having a mani / pedi party, you could stamp your cards with a bottle of nail polish, etc. The great thing about creating your own invitation is that with all the scrapbooking stores out there, you are bound to find the perfect supplies and colors to match your event.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;When doing our research for printed spa party invitations we stumbled upon the “Spa Day Invitation” from Polka Dot Designs. We love this invitation!! Plus, they have a ton more for spa parties. Check them out. Another great website for spa party invitations is The Invitation Box (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.invitationbox.com/spaparty.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;http://www.invitationbox.com/spaparty.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TQGJo3uQPCI/AAAAAAAAAJA/sdbzNpPb8RY/s1600/Spa+Party+Invites.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TQGJo3uQPCI/AAAAAAAAAJA/sdbzNpPb8RY/s400/Spa+Party+Invites.jpg" width="258" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.polkadotdesign.com/Polka-Dot-Design-Digital/PDDD-NP58WS9141/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Spa Day Invitation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;﻿﻿Whatever way you decide to do your invitations, remember to keep your party invitees to a small number. The whole point of the spa party is relaxation and with too many people you are defeating the whole point of the party.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Decorations&lt;/strong&gt; – The most important thing is to set the tone for the spa party&amp;nbsp;~ treat your home spa like you would a day spa. The first rule here . . .NO cell phones (or at least put them on silent).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Drape your furniture with white or beige sheets and incorporate your color scheme with comfy pillows and different textured fabrics placed on the floor and furniture. Or, simply (or maybe not quite so simply) move all or most of the furniture out of the room and create a flowing, open atmosphere with small intimate seating areas. Create stations in the room for the specific spa activities you have chosen. Try not to mix and match here though. If you are having a mani / pedi / massage party, you probably are not going to want to have those going on in the same room for obvious reasons. So, just plan accordingly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Set out green plants and fresh flowers (but be careful with how strong the scent is, remember, relaxing atmosphere here, we don’t want anyone going home with a headache). Choose warm, soothing colors. No bright pinks, etcetera, and keep with your color scheme here. It’ll help everything come together.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Light candles (in all shapes and sizes and in your color scheme) and place them throughout the room(s) that has been designated as the spa area(s). Be careful here too. You don’t want to overpower the room with scented candles, although a light scent, such as lavender or eucalyptus would be nice. And / or you can use white Christmas lights throughout the room to create the same soft lighting effect that the candles would create.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TQGbi7H1wYI/AAAAAAAAAJE/nme90aodVBE/s1600/bigstock_Spa_And_Detente_3457265.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" n4="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TQGbi7H1wYI/AAAAAAAAAJE/nme90aodVBE/s400/bigstock_Spa_And_Detente_3457265.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Play soothing music in the background (check out your local library for CD’s instead of purchasing new ones or find a station on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pandora.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Pandora&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; to play over the internet). An electronic waterfall would be another great idea for a relaxing background sound effect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Now, depending on how much money you really want to put into your party, you can supply the robes and slippers for your guests or put it on the invitation for them to bring their own. (Oh, don’t forget, if you are having a pedicure station you will also want to put on the invitation for your guests to bring flip flops and if you are having a hot tub soak they will need to bring their bathing suits.) Towels, washcloths, hair ties, magazines, robes and slippers (if you are supplying them) should be arranged around the room.&amp;nbsp;Make sure that you have enough of these items&amp;nbsp;for each guest (and extras wouldn’t hurt either). If possible, choose towels and washcloths in your color scheme. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TQGbrCYFRmI/AAAAAAAAAJI/jNwo1UK5HrM/s1600/bigstock_Spa_Towels_1894005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" n4="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TQGbrCYFRmI/AAAAAAAAAJI/jNwo1UK5HrM/s400/bigstock_Spa_Towels_1894005.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Treatments:&lt;/strong&gt; Each spa treatment should have its own “station.” Remember what we mentioned above, use caution when deciding the location for each treatment. You don’t want someone getting a massage next to someone getting a pedicure, both for privacy and scent related reasons. Who wants to get a massage while smelling nail polish? Not me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Now, to keep things relaxing and less chaotic, try to keep the number of treatments to no more than three. Create a “spa rotation” by having your guests sign up for each treatment they would like or by dividing them up into groups. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mani / Pedi ~&lt;/strong&gt; Use disposable tools for hygiene reasons or have guests bring their own tools.

For facial parties try lip balm favors, cosmetic bags or even compact mirror favors. For massage parties try bath salts, tea drink favors, slippers or even bath wraps.

Add some pinks for a girl and blues for a boy. If the mother-to-be is waiting to find out the child’s gender play up your colors with oranges and yellows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TPPV7i_G2sI/AAAAAAAAAFs/8DIPfaIh1A0/s1600/Safari+Baby+Shower+Color+Schemes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="337" ox="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TPPV7i_G2sI/AAAAAAAAAFs/8DIPfaIh1A0/s400/Safari+Baby+Shower+Color+Schemes.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Invitations: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;You have so many options when it comes to invitations for a safari baby shower. Create your own with your chosen color schemes by using pictures of trees, leaves and baby safari animals such as monkeys, elephants and giraffes. Tie a ribbon at the top in your accent color for that extra special touch. &lt;/span&gt;﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿ &lt;br /&gt;﻿&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1989316052"&gt;﻿&lt;/a&gt;﻿ &lt;br /&gt;﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1989316052"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" ox="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TPPdBPA_u3I/AAAAAAAAAFw/sdTsf4wm2A8/s400/MonkeyBabyGirlBabyShowerInvitations.jpg" width="295" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.partyfavorsbydesign.com/monkey-baby-girl-baby-shower0invitations.aspx"&gt;Monkey Baby Girl Baby Shower Invitations&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;﻿ ﻿ &lt;a href="http://www.partyfavorsbydesign.com/monkey-baby-girl-baby-shower0invitations.aspx"&gt;﻿&lt;/a&gt;﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿&lt;br /&gt;﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿ &lt;br /&gt;﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.partyfavorsbydesign.com/my-sweet-little-monkey-baby-shower-invitations.aspx" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="303" ox="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TPPdDrradkI/AAAAAAAAAF0/VE9wPQYOFRU/s400/MySweetLittleMonkeyBabyShowerInvitations.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.partyfavorsbydesign.com/my-sweet-little-monkey-baby-shower-invitations.aspx"&gt;"My Sweet Little Monkey" Baby Shower Invitations&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;﻿ ﻿﻿&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Decorations:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Balloons ~&lt;/strong&gt; Set out balloon bouquets in your color scheme or mylar balloons of jungle animals such as monkeys, zebras and lions to decorate the room. They can be used as centerpieces on your guest tables, food table or just set about the room to add a bit of color. Add a balloon arch to decorate the head table or to spruce up the entrance to your event. We found a Jungle Balloon arch that we love from &lt;a href="http://www.balloonsgiftbasketexpressions.com/"&gt;Balloons Gift Basket Expressions&lt;/a&gt; (see photo below).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.balloonsgiftbasketexpressions.com/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="239" ox="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TPP3eet-1LI/AAAAAAAAAF4/-FYY9F5xHKo/s320/Jungle_Arch.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vines ~&lt;/strong&gt; Synthetic vines (or vine garland) hung from the ceiling of the room with stuffed animal monkeys and birds, such as Beanie Babies, hanging from them are just adorable. Vines can also be used to decorate your event tables as a swag or can be laid across the middle of the table as part of your centerpiece. We found an inexpensive Vine Garland at &lt;a href="http://www.michaels.com/"&gt;Michael’s&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Table Décor ~&lt;/strong&gt; We love the idea of using chocolate table cloths and setting the tables with different color plates in your color scheme. You could alternate the plate colors at each place setting or each table could have its own plate color. Or, we found adorable King and Queen of the Jungle tableware that brings the color schemes together perfectly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TPP4itkOA1I/AAAAAAAAAGA/-9YUeDQJnKk/s1600/yhst-96990552598725_2132_213765316.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ox="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TPP4itkOA1I/AAAAAAAAAGA/-9YUeDQJnKk/s1600/yhst-96990552598725_2132_213765316.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.partypail.com/king-of-the-jungle-kit-matc.html"&gt;Deluxe King of the Jungle Baby Shower Kit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TPP4hCCtUzI/AAAAAAAAAF8/pwiSaEUhxZE/s1600/yhst-96990552598725_2132_176039100.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ox="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TBNksn5cP5k/TPP4hCCtUzI/AAAAAAAAAF8/pwiSaEUhxZE/s1600/yhst-96990552598725_2132_176039100.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.partypail.com/queen-of-the-jungle-kit-matc.html"&gt;Queen of the Jungle Deluxe Baby Shower Kit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Room ~&lt;/strong&gt; Set large stuffed animal jungle animals in the corners of the room. Set up faux jungles with plants or artificial trees to take the effect a little further. Or, use safari animal cardboard cutouts instead of the stuffed animals. Place binoculars and jungle maps on little tables by the faux jungles. Binoculars and jungle maps can also be placed on your tables and used as centerpieces. Play jungle music in the background for an extra special effect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Centerpieces ~&lt;/strong&gt; Plan carefully when you decide what you want to use as your table centerpieces. They can play dual roles. They can be door prizes for your guests, gifts for the mom-to-be, favors, snacks&amp;nbsp;or even part of a game. Set out jungle animal figurines on top of vine garland down the middle of the table. Add some floating orchid candles in your color scheme and small plants in animal shaped pots. These all could be used as door prizes or favors for your guests. You could also set out a safari themed diaper cake on the head table or food table that does double duty as a decoration and baby shower gift. Bananas would also make a great centerpiece decoration and they can also be used as snacks for your guests.

You can almost take any traditional baby shower game that is played and make a few minor tweaks and wha-lah, you have a safari themed game. Here are some examples:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;~ Match the baby animal with the animals known name (i.e. elephant / calf). You will want to make sure to put a time limit on this one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;~ Create a word search with jungle animal names&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;~ Create a word unscramble with, yup, you guessed it, jungle animal names&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;~ Create a bingo game with a safari theme&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;~ Create a scavenger hunt. Hind the items you want your guests to find in your centerpiece decorations, in the foliage in your faux jungle, from the vines holding the monkeys and birds, etcetera, etcetera. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;~ Generate (yes, I decided to use a word other than create) a list of animals with a blank next to it. Have your guests guess the gestation period of each animal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;~ Have a net toss to see who can capture the most stuffed animals&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;~ Personalize a safari themed &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.partyfavorsbydesign.com/personalized-scratch-off-baby-shower-party-games-20-pk.aspx"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Baby Shower Scratch Off Game&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;~ Purchase this &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.babyshower-simplicity.com/jungle_theme.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Jungle Theme Game Pack&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; that includes 17 different games that we found at babyshower-simplicity.com.

With so many options, how do you choose? Let us help. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;~ Little boxes of animal crackers would be adorable or maybe put them in safari themed dixie cups as part of your centerpieces on your tables.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;~ Choose a favor that plays up your accent color or theme.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;~ Select something that is practical and that your guests will get some use of again in the future, like a picture frame favor. What a great way for them to showcase the birth announcement photo&amp;nbsp;you send. They also serve as a reminder of the great time that they had at your safari baby shower.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;
