Top 5 Baby Shower Themes + Gender Reveal ideas for IMVU
It's a jungle out there.
You guessed it! A Safari theme. Yes, it may be cliche, but it is timeless and always will be. It’s not only easy to find things for, but it is gender neutral. Want to switch it up? Instead of hosting it in a room decorated with monkeys and giraffes. Try going down the “Nature Scenes” tab in the room section in the shop, and maybe buy an actual Jungle. You can place some picnic places, matching balloons, a cake, and decorations that fit your taste. Just because it is a playful theme doesn’t mean it can’t be classy!
Location. Location. Location.
This theme is more of a simple one. RL baby showers usually take place in restaurants, parks, or in the home. If you would like a realistic vibe or even a nostalgic vibe to your baby shower I suggest you find a theme - This could be a color or cartoon etc. Decorating your space by your theme is essential. If you are renting out a room, this will save you time on decorating. If you have the shower in your home, a nice touch would be to place the ultrasound pictures around the house to add the personal touch.
It's A..."Gender Reveal"
Gender reveals are so hard to see through on a virtual world your options are limited and what's not limited has been done a few times already. So, I highly suggest whatever you choose as a reveal you get it custom-done.
The "It's a boy or girl" box with the smoke and balloons coming out of it is quite popular right now on the grid.
Throwing a shower and having a popular vu artist perform a song revealing the sex is also an original idea.
Create a slideshow online and wait when everyone is settled at your event and link it.
Get a custom cake & cake slice made with the inside of the desert revealing either pink or blue. Have it sitting out in the open for everyone to see (if you're not into a dramatic reveal).
Get triggers in shop that rain down objects/smoke or confetti and type in the trigger when you're ready to reveal the sex of your baby.
2 and only..
Host a baby shower where your guests are required to wear a plain basic color like black or white (be strict about accessories and kbs to keep everyone in sync). And show up with your partner wearing either blue or pink, if you're having twins one of you can wear pink and the other blue. If you want to use this idea as a gender reveal show up in the basic colors, save your outfits and change into them after everyone is loaded and you're ready to announce.
Baby & The Beach
Purchase and decorate a beautiful beach room and a yacht. Don't permit anyone into the yacht until you're ready to reveal the gender of the baby. Enjoy your guests on land for a while and when you're prepared to reveal the gender have your guests follow you into the yacht. Make sure the boat is decorated in either pink or blue revealing the sex of the baby and surprise your guests.
