Expectant mothers-to-be with strong religious beliefs often feel more blessed than ever to be pregnant. As a result, their focus on God is intensified and the importance of their religion becomes significant as they prepare to bring a new life into the world. If your pregnant friend or family member falls into that category, a religious themed baby shower may be a perfect choice to celebrate the upcoming arrival.

While a religiously themed baby shower focuses on spiritual elements, it can remain a lighthearted festive event. Even then you have some decisions to make. Do you want to carry the religious theme to the full extent from invitations to party favors, or are you planning on just decorating with religious or inspirational decorations appropriate for a baby shower? Do you have guests on the list who will be uncomfortable with the theme, or do most of the guests share the mother-to-be's beliefs? You'll want to adjust your plans to make the event a success for everyone involved.

If you are prepared to carry the theme to the full extent, the following list can serve as a checklist to help you plan a religiously themed baby shower. However, if you think some guests will feel uncomfortable with "too much religion", you can mix and match items to meet your specific scenario.

• Religious baby shower invitations
• Religious shower decorations
• Religious party favors
• Religious themed shower games

Contrary to what some people may think when they first hear the word "religious", shower themes of a religious nature can still be fun, cute and baby related, and decorations are fairly easy to find for some of the more popular themes.

Noah's Ark decorations and invitations are abundant. Plus, the Noah's Ark theme is a popular nursery décor so it's easy to incorporate ideas of your own with animal prints and bright rainbow colors as you plan decorations and party favors for the party. Small stuffed animals make great decorations, and they can also double as gifts for the baby. Animal shape balloons are also a fun way to decorate. Instead of candy, fill candy cups with animal crackers. The ideas for Noah Ark are limitless.

Precious Moments is another inspirational type shower theme with a wealth of decorations, invitations and other specialty items available. They even make a Precious Moments Baby Shower Keepsake Register to help record every detail of the precious occasion. One plus with choosing a Precious Moments theme is that you can find plates, napkins and other party favors at regular department stores.

Angels are another popular theme that provides that religious touch. It's an easy theme to tie into a baby shower because babies are a gift from heaven. The theme can be as simple as adding angels and cherubs to standard shower decorations.

Finding religious baby shower decorations isn't as difficult as you may think. You can buy these novelty shower decorations at your local Christian or religious bookstore, or you can shop for them online.

One word of caution should be made regarding baby showers for religious friends and co-workers. Not all religions celebrate baby showers. For some, in fact, it is against their religious traditions, so be sure that your plans mesh with the mother-to-be's beliefs before you start sending out invitations.
