Calling all expecting parents and their amazing support crew! A new little adventurer is about to enter the world, and it’s time to celebrate with a baby shower that’s bursting with personality. If you’re looking for a theme that’s as unique and colorful as the emotions themselves, then look no further than Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out 2!
This adorable sequel promises to take us back inside the headquarters of Riley’s mind, where Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear navigate the ups and downs of growing up. It’s the perfect theme for a baby shower that celebrates the whirlwind of emotions that come with parenthood (and let’s be honest, babies themselves are emotional powerhouses!).
But how do you turn this quirky concept into a baby shower to remember? Don’t worry, this guide will equip you with all the tips and tricks to throw a party that’s both fun and functional. Plus, we’ve got a free downloadable Inside Out 2 baby shower invitation that you can personalize in just a few clicks!
Setting the Scene: A World of Emotions
Transform your party space into a vibrant world that reflects the five core emotions. Decorate with streamers, balloons, and tablecloths in a rainbow of colors: yellow for Joy, blue for Sadness, red for Anger, green for Disgust, and purple for Fear. Don’t forget to hang silhouettes of Riley’s head with thought bubbles popping out, where guests can write messages for the mommy-to-be.
Food Fit for Headquarters
No party is complete without delicious food! Get creative with your menu and have some fun with emotion-themed snacks and drinks. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Joyful Jello Cups: Layer different colored jello for a bright and cheerful treat.
- Sad Sack Sandwiches: Serve mini sandwiches cut into tear shapes.
- Angry Deviled Eggs: Decorate deviled eggs with little red pepper “flames” on top.
- Disgusted Broccoli Bites: This one’s a playful nudge (and a chance to sneak in some greens!).
- Fearsome Finger Foods: Serve bite-sized snacks like mini pizzas or hot dogs that look a little “monstery.”
Of course, don’t forget the drinks! Offer colorful fruit punches, lemonade, and for the adults, a signature “Mind Meld” mocktail (get creative with your ingredients!).
Games Galore: Fun for All Emotions
Baby showers are all about celebrating and having a good time. Here are a few entertaining games with an Inside Out 2 twist:
- Pin the Emotion on Riley: Create a life-size image of Riley’s head and cut out pictures of each emotion. Blindfold guests and have them try to pin the emotion in the right spot.
- Guess the Emotion Charades: Act out different emotions for guests to guess, with Inside Out 2 scenes as inspiration.
- Memory Match: Headquarters Edition: Create memory cards with pictures of characters and objects from the movie. The guest with the most matches wins!
- Emotion Pictionary: Divide guests into teams and have them draw an emotion for their team to guess.
The Grand Finale: A Gift for the New Arrival
Guests will be showering the mommy-to-be with love and gifts, so create a dedicated space for them to display their well wishes. Decorate this area with a fun sign that says “Headquarters for Presents” or “Fueling Up for Adventures.”
