Ready To Pop Baby Shower Food Ideas

Is it really a themed baby shower without matching food and beverages to go with it? One of the best ways to impress your guests and have fun all while staying true to the theme is to customize your food. Here are some great food ideas that follow the “ready to pop” theme perfectly.

11. Popcorn

Nothing says “pop” like some freshly popped popcorn, am I right? This party food is as simple as popping in the microwave and pouring in the bowl, not to mention it works perfectly with the theme. If you want to step it up, look into purchasing your very own popcorn maker! Not only is it less expensive than you’d think, but it adds great depth to the aesthetic and theme of your party! Who doesn’t like popcorn?

13. Soda Pop

Imagine you have just finished eating your delicious salty popcorn, paired with a delightfully sweet cake pop, and now you are parched. You are going to have to quench your thirst with a pop-themed beverage: soda pop! We couldn’t leave out the beverages on this list! How could pop not be the perfect beverage for a Ready To Pop baby shower?

14. Jalapeno Poppers

Jalapeno poppers might be the most delicious dish on this menu! If you do not mind a little heat, a jalapeno popper is a truly decadent experience. What truly makes great jalapeno poppers is the quality of your peppers. Make sure to find the freshest peppers that are available for this dish! Once you've got your peppers secured, all you need to do is decide on your fillings/ toppings. Do you want it bacon-wrapped? What kind of cheese do you want to put it in? Do you want to use low-fat cream cheese?

All of these questions are important and are situational depending on your party guests. If you are not too worried about the specifications, you can follow this great jalapeno popper recipe from Dinner At the Zoo. And if you're not confident in your cooking skills? You can always pick up some yummy jalapeno poppers chips or cheese curls instead.

15. Popsicles

Popsicles are a great low-effort food option for your Ready To Pop baby shower. Just purchase a variety of popsicles at the grocery store and keep them in your freezer until you are ready to use them!

Ready To Pop Baby Shower Games and Activities

Spice up the fun at your Ready To Pop baby shower by including a plethora of games to play! Games will make for a great source of entertainment and keep your guests busy.

16. Popcorn (Trampoline)

This game only applies to couples and ones with access to a trampoline. One very silly way of “testing” the love of the nonpregnant partner during a bridal shower is to play popcorn on a trampoline. To play, the husband must join 5 others on the trampoline. The husband will then go into a fetal position, and curl up as tightly as he can. The remaining 5 party members will start bouncing around, attempting to make the nonpregnant partner release their grip. If they can stay curled up for a minute straight, they win. If they win, the saying is that the baby and relationship will be healthy and last.

17. Donkey Pop

Think pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey but with a balloon as the objective. The player will be blindfolded with a needle, attempting to pop the balloon without seeing it.

18. Bubble Blowing

Who doesn't love to blow bubbles? This simple activity will be entertaining for all guests. Simply purchase some individually-sized bubble bottles, and let your guests watch them come to life, float and pop!

19. Balloon Piñata

Did you know you can use balloons as piñatas? Just fill up as many balloons as you want with candy or other prizes and tie them to a wall. You can let each kid pop a set amount of balloon piñatas.

20. Hop to Pop

This balloon game is exciting for all ages because it involves winning prizes anyone can enjoy! Write out individual numbers on paper, cut them up, and place them each inside a deflated balloon. Once each balloon has a number inside of it, blow the balloon up using your preferred method of inflation and tape them to a ceiling or a slightly high reaching area of the party. The way to play is to hop up with a pin to pop a balloon, and you win a prize based on the number you get. Be sure to assign a prize to each number before playing. Prize ideas can include money, candy, joke prizes, and anything you can think of!

Ready To Pop Baby Shower Party Supplies

21. Ready To Pop Sticker Labels

Some cute Ready To Pop sticker labels can provide you with a way to reinforce your party theme, wherever you decide to put them. Whether you stick them on gift bags, plates, or table decorations, using themed sticker labels will remind guests why your party "pops!"

22.

Mini Food Serving Cups

To continue with the theme of having a holder or container with your pop-themed foods, consider grabbing some mini food serving cups! For those that do not want to eat an entire popcorn box-sized portion, they can stick to putting their food in these useful serving cups. They are also the perfect size for kids!

23. Colorful Straws

One way to emphasize your pop-themed beverages is to use straws that have colors that pop! An item does not need to have the word “pop” in its name to follow the theme. Vibrant colors definitely pop!

24. Colorful Wrapping Paper

Step up your color pop game by getting some colorful wrapping paper to wrap objects such as your table, popcorn boxes, and baby shower gifts from guests. Yes, you can buy this wrapping paper, ask your guests to bring the gift unwrapped, and set up a separate room for guests to wrap their gifts with the matching wrapping paper. This way, once all the guests are done wrapping their presents, you can get a wonderful photo of all of the matching presents nicely organized.

25. Baby Shower Theme Napkins

With all of the tasty treats your guests will be consuming, you're going to want to purchase some cute baby-shower-themed napkins. These are a fun but practical way to liven up your party and add an extra special touch to your decorations.

How to organize a children's birthday: animators, decor, food, music, entertainment

Our expert - Elena Moiseeva, an event organizer with many years of experience, co-founder of the London agency Chaika Events - has organized more than five hundred children's parties in her life. Especially for Workingmama, Elena prepared a checklist of the most important items for self-preparation of a children's holiday.

We all love to look at beautiful pictures on the pages of professional eventers and decorators. They have breathtaking scenery, expensive themed accessories, luxurious costumes, gourmet dishes. As holiday planners, we love coming up with exciting design concepts, but the truth is, it's more for parents, grown-ups. Children are interested in something else. The key point in organizing a children's holiday, 80% of success is a professional animator.

Professional animator

A good entertainer is the cornerstone of your party. This is the only thing you can't skimp on. If you have beautiful decorations, a complex candy bar with cake pops and macaroons, but at the same time the children scatter in the corners and sit buried in their smartphones, everything will crumble to pieces, and no decorations and expensive balloons will help. And if an experienced animator works at the holiday, who is able to get and keep the attention of children, then you can get by with a couple of pizzas with a cake: everyone will still remember how fun it was.

Finding a professional and really talented animator is a little easier than finding a unicorn. But it's worth the effort.

Start looking now, even if your next children's birthday is only a year away. Where to look? Gather contacts at other children's parties, at restaurants where there is a children's corner, at festivals where a children's area is organized. If you see that children are running after someone with burning eyes, run after him too and write down the phone.

You can search for animators on the websites of the organizers of children's parties, on Instagram. Watch the video, read the reviews. Keep in mind that an hour of the animator's work costs more if you call him for just an hour. Because he still needs to travel, take props with him, think over the program. It is best to invite an animator for the entire holiday. Otherwise, the rest of the time, before the arrival or after the departure of the animator, the children are provided - and this usually means real chaos.

There is nothing worse than a five-in-one animator. When the same person and face painting does, and dogs from balloons, and shows from soap bubbles. Because while one child is being painted, the other 25 have fled in all directions. Additional skills are good, but, as a rule, they cannot be combined. An experienced animator should rally everyone, involve all children in various activities. And parents at this time should rest and drink champagne.

Invitations

In today's frantic pace, when children have five circles and an active social life, it is necessary to invite guests to a children's birthday party as early as possible. It is not shameful to send Save The Date (an invitation with a request to stake out the date) and two months in advance. This is important if you want exactly the people whom he would like to see come to your child for the holiday. If you delay with an invitation, you can end up in a situation where all your friends have already been invited to another party.

You can order invitations on the international website Etsy.com. There you will find a huge selection of beautiful templates for any topic. For a few dollars, you will receive personalized email invitations - you just need to send your text.

Electronic invitations can be sent by email or WhatsApp, or you can use the convenient PaperlessPost program, which will immediately give you statistics: how many people accepted the invitation, who will not be able to come, who will come with brothers and sisters, etc.

Place

If you are not ready to spend a children's party at home (and we understand you perfectly), then look for a spacious place. This is the main criterion. Children need to move, they need a lot of space to play. A cafe or a game center can convince you that the room is designed for 50 people, but you can safely divide it by two: usually the capacity is calculated based on the fact that people are calmly standing in buffet mode, and not playing hide and seek and catch up.

Optimal: indoor/outdoor combination. There you can move, hold all sorts of sports games.

Perfect for a garden or square. The more space the better. Yes, and try to see the site in advance, do not focus only on photos or descriptions. Start your search with a review of "30 places in Moscow where you can celebrate a holiday" on Workingmama.ru.

Food

News: on birthdays, children eat practically nothing. Therefore, there is no point in excelling in haute cuisine. Food that goes well at parties has a funny name: finger food. That is, everything that can be taken by hand. And second: almost everything should be with the prefix "mini". Mini pizzas, mini burgers, mini rolls, mini hot dogs. There is practically no chance that a child in the excitement of the game will finish the adult portion - most likely, he will take a bite and immediately quit. Miniature portions will reduce the amount of undereating.

Do you advocate wholesome food? Cut the celery and carrots into strips. Children, of course, will not eat this - but your soul will be calmer.

If you want to surprise your guests, and you have a small budget for this, install a mini version of the chocolate fountain. Such a design can be purchased for quite reasonable money. It is very easy to assemble. You will also need special chocolate, which is heated directly in the bag in the microwave or steamed, and poured into the fountain. Put strawberries, marshmallows, skewers nearby - voila! – on the sweet table it will be the highlight of the program!

Where to order food:

Duration

For children aged 3 to 7 years, the optimal duration of the holiday is 2-2.5 hours. Longer is already physically difficult for both children and adults. Children cannot keep their attention on something for a long time, so activities should alternate every 15-20 minutes, breaks are required.

It is better to start the holiday with active games, and at the end, by all means, make a disco.

Because after eating a cake, children necessarily release energy, which urgently needs to be channeled in the right direction. If you also pick up all sorts of bright accessories in a Fix Price store: colored wigs, bright glasses, bracelet beads, the disco will become a hit that will take at least half an hour and will be remembered by everyone.

Music

Music should sound at the festival all the time, from beginning to end. Well, except for some special activities. Music sets the mood, sets the tone for the whole party. Now almost everyone has smartphones and tablets. One of your friends will probably have a portable speaker, ask to borrow it for a few hours. Feel free to upload the playlist to Spotify or YouTube. By the way, one more news: it is naive to believe that children love children's songs. In fact, they've been in love with Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams and Bruno Mars since the age of three. So they don’t need to put on “A smile will make everyone brighter”, dancing to modern pop music will be much more interesting for them.

Decor

In Russia now you can find almost any scenery. True, to achieve a picture like from the page of a professional event decorator, you will have to spend a lot of money. So, fashionable paper decor (flowers, garlands, etc.) will cost a pretty penny, because you need a lot of it so that the room does not look dull.

If your budget is tight, use balloons. They can put the name of the child and the number indicating the age. Meter balls-numbers look very cool. Brilliant figures of impressive size look great in the photo and you can immediately see how old the child is. You can also buy regular latex balloons. Individually, they look lonely, and in bouquets of 5-7 pieces, excellent compositions are already obtained.

A small note: decorating an event with helium balloons is not the most budget option. There is a shortage of helium on the market now, and this gas has become very expensive. So if you buy a bunch of inexpensive balloons, remember that you will have to spend a lot on helium tanks.

Decorations can be made by yourself. On the mentioned site Etsy.com, ready-made "soup sets" on various topics are sold: "Frozen", "Cars", "Spiderman", "Paw Patrol", etc.

You buy a ready-made package with files that will need to be printed, cut, pasted. There will be stickers on bottles of lemonade, and garlands, and banners.

Activities

Children under 8 love to search for treasures: solve riddles, find clues and clues. Treasure hunting can be done in a variety of subjects, and you don’t need a lot of money for this. Children will be absolutely happy if the found treasure is chocolate "coins". The possibilities are limited by nothing but your imagination. The search for clues is a team work that unites very much. In addition, treasure hunting is very motivating for children to behave well, to complete tasks - they are interested in it.

If the budget is limited, and there is no money for some special effects and shows (soap bubbles, chemical experiments, etc.) - do-it-yourself activities are great.

There are sites that offer great DIY kits to create all sorts of things in 15 minutes, from superhero masks to fairy wings. Children love to cut, glue, paint, decorate everything with all sorts of colorful stickers. You just need to give them simple blanks, help a little along the way, they will create a craft that they will gladly take home with them. Such activities easily and naturally adapt to the theme of the party. For example, if you're having a space party, you could all paint a large cardboard rocket together.

Gifts

Gifts are usually given at the very beginning. Make sure there is a special table for this. By the end of the holiday, the table is gradually filled with gifts, and at the end of the holiday you just take them with you. There is no need to open gifts in public. In order not to offend anyone, you will need to immediately read all the postcards - there is no time for this. Let the child be busy with his holiday, enjoy the moment. Gifts are a pleasant continuation of a birthday, a separate joy that you already experience at home.

Photo/Video

If you want to get a good photo report from your holiday - do not rely on yourself and your phone. Most likely, you will not be at all up to filming. Good children's photographers/videographers tend to be expensive and charge by the hour. However, you can meet on the forums with budding talents who need photos and videos for a portfolio - then the cost can be purely symbolic, but you must be ready to give permission to use your photos for promotional purposes.
