We'll be making the invitations (and matching thank you notes), but need ideas for food, decorations, games, prizes, etc. Best ideas gets 10 points! :)
Sorry, but *I* didn't ask for opinions on the shower theme. It matches her nursery bedding, and that's that.
Answer
Sounds like a great shower theme, specially for a boy!!
Food/drink: You can make some Green Shower Punch: 2 liters of ginger-ale, 1 gallon of lime sherbet...add sherbet to bowl and then ginger ale to taste. Buy or make the shower cake & decorate it with little plastic jungle animals.
Decorations: Buy a few bamboo plants and decorate the tables with them. (I've seen them at a local mall store & dollar stores for a dollar.) You can even get a few little jungle animals to put around them. Either those little plastic ones or small stuffed ones. You could also get some medium sized stuffed animals and tie 3 helium balloons to them and place on tables as center pieces. (I've done that with a bear theme shower before...very cute, big hit!) Get some inexpensive plastic vines to place on tables or decorate walls..and maybe add a fiew little dangling animals on them. Use lots of green & whites to decorate...table covers, streamers, bows...etc. Get some jungle stickers & add it to different items to decorate, such as little gowns made with green napkins. Make a diaper cake with the jungle theme and have it as a huge center piece by making a 3 tier cake. (I've done one for the first time last year & it's really easy make!! HUGE HIT!! You'd be very happy with the end result.) Make a diaper wreath to decorate a door with that same theme. If you or your friends have those plastic indoor trees, you could use a couple at the shower & decorate them with monkeys on the tree or other animals under the tree.
Games: Play regular shower games. You can play hotpotatoe with a monkey or any stuffed jungle animal. Play some jungle music sounds and when you stop the music, the last person holding the animal is out, until the last person left...is the winner. Just try putting as much of the theme into the regular games as possible. You can print out some games, such as the bingo, crossword, searchwords & then later add some jungle animals to them by printing them to the printouts you already made...because then you'll know where the free space will be. I did this for 2 showers already and they came out great!
Prizes: The same as other showers plus include a few bamboo plants. I've even seen bamboo purses to! Very cute for the coming summer months to take to the beach. (Don't know if they are in style any more though, hehe) Make a few candy wrappers with that same theme & give them out as prizes or favors. Give out soaps in the shape of animals.
I've included lots of helpful links, you can get some ideas from...good luck! God bless. Best of all...have lots & lots of fun!!

Could you describe your bedroom for me?

Answer
I'm not sure if my bedroom qualifies as creative, but it is restful and soothing.
My carpet is a medium shade of sand called "cashew". It's a high twist, called frieze.
My furniture is mission style...very simple. All but the headboard which is white wicker and two different end tables, one with a door and one just a two-tiered round table in the same wood.
Three of my walls are painted a light blue and one accent wall is a medium blue. That wall is directly across from my bed and has a big armoire on it which holds my t.v. inside.
My comforter is cream colored chenille, ribbed..no design, but does have fridge on the bottom.
I have 5 or 6 blue and brown and tan pillows in various shapes and patterns on my bed.
My curtains are striped in different shades of blues and tans.
I have a crystal lamp on my dresser and two medium blue metal lamps on each night table. I also have a small floral rug beside my bed and a cedar chest at the bottom of my bed for sitting and holding blankets.
Above my bed I have a favorite print, framed in white. It's an old time seaside of people walking on the beach in old fashioned clothing. On the other big wall I have 5 different art pieces that I like..some small, one big which all have shades of blue in them.
