What music should you use for a baby shower? How do you select music, reflect the baby shower theme and set the party mood?
Baby shower hosts and hostesses often carefully consider the decorations, food, games and prizes of a baby shower party, but can accidentally neglect the music. Baby shower music can be baby-related or theme-related depending on your preference.
Lullaby Baby Shower Music - What could be a better choice of music for a baby shower than a collection of infant lullaby music? Select a soothing, instrumental collection of lullabies to play as guests arrive and everyone is talking and greeting each other. Using instrumental music during this time, instead of baby music with words, will keep the music from being an intrusion to the party.
This Softly Instrumental Lullabies
collection is a particularly nice one with recognizable and familiar songs that are beautifully played. Children's Songs and Nursery Rhymes - Another fun set of music to play at a baby shower would be the classic children's songs and nursery rhyme collections. If you play some upbeat, kids songs without words you can even turn it into a game by having the party goers guess the title of the song - whoever guesses the most songs correctly wins!
This collection of 60 instrumental children's songs
has a nice mix of nursery rhymes, traditional kids tunes, classical pieces and more so you can personalize the game or shower music. Or choose a kids song collection with words - your guests might enjoy the chance to sing along! Some of the action songs would make for a laughable baby shower activity by having guests dance as they sing along. Farmer in the Dell and Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes are just two of many kid's songs with motions associated. I like this Baby's Best
collection because the songs are upbeat and sound professionally done, rather than "tinny" like some children's song collections can sound. Music for Your Baby Shower Theme - Of course, you can always choose songs specifically designed around your theme, which may mean putting together your own collection of MP3's or creating a mixed tape CD specifically for the baby shower. This extra thought and effort would make a unique and personalized gift to memorialize the party.
Music is like the icing on the cake - it adds a nice finishing touch to a baby shower event and is an easy way to add another dimension of fun to the party.
