I am head-over-heels for this "Welcome to the World" baby shower. Full of map and globe themed details, the shower seems like such a lovely way to welcome a baby into the world.
Wouldn't it be fun to scour vintage shops for old globes, maps, and atlases? The atlases could be dismantled and used to make napkin rings, bunting, wrapping paper, and other fun crafts.
Speaking of welcoming babies to the world, the traditional baby shower concept is apparently being replaced (or added to) with parties that occur a couple weeks after the baby is born. These events are known as welcome-to-the-world parties (wouldn't the map and globe theme fit perfectly!) or sip-and-sees (as in: sip Champagne, see the new baby).

I LOVE this theme! We're having a Meet the Baby party instead of a shower this time, and this is getting the old party gears turning...

Love this! A lot less cheesy than some other themes.

We had a meet the little man party after our second boy was born. We waited to find out the gender for both of our boys and this made it a lot easier for people to shop. We also asked for more practical things since it is another boy. He is now 3 months old and I have yet to buy a diaper or wipes!!!!
