Baby Shower Theme Prince
Both Prince and Knight baby shower supplies will work perfectly for this theme. And why not, when Princes are usually knights. And here are some cool supplies that you might want to look at:
Invitations
Since most Princes are knights, we highly suggest that you create a shield out of a cardboard, and draw some baby articles on it. We could easily imagine a shield, divided into four parts, wherein one section shows a rocking horse, another shows a feeding bottle, and so on. Princely and babyish, that is what this invitation idea is all about.
Another idea is to send a sword invitation. However, there's something unique about this sword since it's a cross between a pacifier and a sword (the nipple is somewhat sword-like).
If that didn't meet your idea of a creative invitation, then we highly recommend cookies, shaped like a crown, and decorated with blue icing. You could either go for small cookies, wherein you have 5-10 cookies in a bag, which constitutes one invitation. Don't forget to tie a note containing your party details.
Or you could just bake a giant crown cookie, wherein your shower details are icingd on top of it. Either one will be a tasty gift ala invitation to your guests, which we bet they will really appreciate.
Now, for the shower attire, which plays a big role on your prince shower. Just ask your guests to wear any clothes that make them feel like princes and princesses, since having a baby is indeed a time to celebrate royally.

The Quest (Individual/Group Activity)
A prince without a quest will make a fairy tale incomplete, which is also the same with a quest-less prince baby shower.
Since this is a baby shower activity, most of the quest will be related to mother-to-be, having a baby, and babies in general. But you need to make it really challenging to make it as quest-like as possible.
It will start with each guest/representative of a group drawing up his/her quest. The quest could be something like, diaper a doll using only one hand within 30 seconds, finish the contents of a baby feeding bottle within a time limit, and the like. The person/group with the highest number of successful quests, wins the game, and will be given the royal treatment.
Ready, Aim, Fire (Individual/Group Activity)
You will need kid archery sets for this activity. If you don't have one, no worries, you could just use rubber balls, and everything will still be fine.
Some baby articles are lined up from a table or something similar. The goal of your guests is to hit each of the baby stuff. If it toppled, then the player will be awarded points for that particular item. Basically, each item has its corresponding points, wherein the points get higher while the item gets smaller (more difficult to target). The person/group with the highest points gets the sharpshooter title plus the corresponding prize!
To make the game more challenging, you could use smaller baby articles. Widening the distance between the target and the players will also make the game more exciting.
Knotting (Group Activity)
Every prince needs to be equipped to rescue his princess, and aside from Rapunzel's prince, who was able to use her hair to climb up and down the tower, other princes need to depend on their own resourcefulness, so as to create an improvised rope, when he needs one. And that is what this activity is all about.
You will need a lot of baby clothes for this game (eg. diaper cloths). The idea is to knot the baby clothes together, to make a durable and improvised rope. Durability is judged by having another group test a group's rope by doing a tug of war of some sort. The group with the rope that stayed together the longest, wins the game!
Before the game starts, you will need to draw lots on which group will test what group's "rope".
Joust (Individual Activity)
You will need a lot of diaper cloths for this one. Please use old diaper cloths, since they will be quite stained after this activity.
You might also want to cover your floor with old newspapers, to make cleaning whatever mess easier.
Each guest will square off with another guest. They will have coveralls as their armor, and a diaper cloth for their breastplate. Each jouster is armed with a shield and a number of cotton balls soaked in a particular color. The idea of this game is to hit the other jouster on his/her breastplate with that soaked cotton. Both jousters could hit the other simultaneously, and avoid being hit (with the use of the shield) at the same time. The jouster with the cleaner breastplate wins that fight, and will square off with other winners. After the "tournament" , the winner will be declared Prince(ss) of all Jousters.
Before the game start, you will need to draw up the names of who will fight which guest.
