Do you have a little peanut on the way? Elephant-themed baby showers have been trending for the last several years, and they’re continuing to become more popular. It’s easy to see why: the theme is absolutely adorable and works great for both boys and girls. Inspired by our elephant collection, we’ve decided to share a bunch of our favorite elephant baby shower ideas, encompassing decor, games, and favors. Keep reading to see what ideas we love most!
Elephant Baby Shower Ideas for Games
Elephant Baby Shower Bingo
Our baby elephant bingo game involves the players filling in their sheets with the gifts they predict the mom-to-be will receive. Once she unwraps her gifts, the winner will be the person who guessed and laid out their bingo sheet the best.
Guess How Many?

Get nutty with your guests! Fill a jar full of peanuts and display it on a table with pens, paper, and a container for each guest’s guess to go in. Have each player write down their name and how many peanuts they think are in the jar. The player with the closest guess wins!
An Elephant Never Forgets Memory Game

Scientists have determined that elephants have incredible powers of recollection. In keeping with the theme, let’s see which of your baby shower guests has the best memory. Place baby items or gifts on a tray for everyone to see. Have it set up on a table or walk around with the tray to let your guests take a peek. But don’t tell them it’s a game just yet! Once everyone has had the chance to see the tray, you can hand out pens and paper for your guests to write down what they remember at any time during the shower. Whoever remembers the most items wins!
Elephant Baby Shower Ideas for Snacks

Hershey’s Bar Favors
Chocolate makes pretty much everything better, including a baby shower! Order enough chocolate bars for every guest to enjoy one, and keep with the elephant theme with our personalized Hershey’s bars. Select from blue, pink, or a neutral yellow to adorn each chocolate bar wrapper. We recommend ordering with the chocolate, but you can also order just the personalized wrappers if you prefer.
