10 Adorable Baby Shower Themes to Welcome Your New Arrival
There is nothing more exciting than welcoming a new little one into your family, and whether it's the first child or the fifth, each new addition deserves a thoughtful celebration. Parents-t0-be have a lot on their to-do lists in the nine months leading up to the baby's arrival (Birth classes! Prepping the nursery! Figuring out how the heck that bottle disinfector works!), but undoubtedly one of the most fun items on that list is planning a baby shower. And when it comes to baby shower themes, the sky is truly the limit. From gender-neutral celebrations to baby shower themes geared towards celebrating little girls and little boys, there are so many creative and cute ways to pay tribute to the hopes, dreams, and wishes you have for your bundle of joy.
To help make this phase of life as fun and stress-free as possible, we're rounding up 10 creative baby shower ideas so you can kick off your party planning right (or at least populate your Pinterest board). From a sentimental storybook celebration to a buzzy bash that celebrates the Momma to Bee (see what we did there?), these sweet baby shower themes will be a treat for guests and parents alike. Plus, they make for adorable photo opps so you can relive the special day over and over again. Love more than one of the below ideas? Save 'em for future children or adapt one for your kiddo's nursery theme, instead.
Here Comes the Son
If a happy, cheerful celebration is your goal, look no further than this "Here Comes the Son" baby shower theme from Details, Darling. Perfect for a duo of parents welcoming a little boy (and totally gender-flexible by changing the phrase "son" to "sun") this happy celebration pays tribute to the literal sunshine a baby brings to your life. It's also a great shower theme for anyone who is a fan of the Beatles or wants to pay tribute to their rainbow baby on the way.
Storybook Celebration
Bookworms will love this next baby shower theme, which centers all around children's books. Take inspiration from the classics—like Goodnight Moon, Eloise, and Hansel & Gretel—for a fairytale-like bash that is as sweet as it is beautiful. You can pay tribute to literature at every turn, with details like vintage books on each table and themed sugar cookies, like these works of art from The Flour Shoppe Cookie Co.
A Little Cutie
A little cutie is on the way! There's no truer statement–and no better baby shower theme to honor your zesty new addition. This orange-themed baby shower nods to clementines and comes hand-in-hand with plenty of opportunities for charming details, like citrus motifs and Mom-osas.
Baby on Board
If you and your partner have a big love for the ocean, pay tribute to the water and get ready to hang ten with loved ones at a Baby on Board-themed baby shower. This creative party was dreamed up by Detailed Touch Events and features plenty of beachy details, including surfboard signs, themed mocktails, and painted shell favors.
Teddy Bear Bash
Leave it to famed party planner Mindy Weiss to take something as basic as a teddy bear and transform it into a larger-than-life party theme. The iconic stuffed animal makes for a classic as a baby shower theme, thanks to copious amounts of balloons in neutral-but-better shades of brown, cream, silver, and blue, as well as bear-themed games and a cereal snack bar of your childhood dreams.
Baby in Bloom
For a baby shower theme that is equal parts sweet and sophisticated, opt for a "Baby in Bloom" celebration. With florals at the center of the decor scheme, this baby shower theme will bring whimsy and can be easily catered to whatever color palette or season the guests of honor prefer. This bash by S. Kay Event Studio incorporated sweet baby-esque details like a bloom-covered carriage and even brought the flower focus into the food, with a myriad of desserts (like cakes and macarons) that featured edible pressed florals.
Up and Away
This darling "Up and Away" themed shower by Pretty Please Design is a playful twist on the stork and baby myth, with airy blue and white details and balloons in the shape of clouds. While the color scheme is perfect for a little boy, it can cater to any gender or season for a spectacular celebration that soars to new heights.
Momma to Bee
Nothing screams party quite like a good pun! The Momma to bee will feel like a queen at this sophisticated bee-themed baby shower. Instead of kitschy details, Beijos Events incorporated sophisticated touches like lush florals, honey favors, a sunny blue and yellow color palette, and unique acrylic place cards for a party that will have all your guests abuzz.
Yummy Baby-Q
For a casual (and delicious!) twist on a baby shower, focus your theme on the food for the occasion. BBQ is always a crowd-pleaser, and this Baby-Q Bash from Victoria Ann Events puts a punny twist on chicken and ribs. Request everyone bring the baby a funny bib and bottle up a blend of homemade sauce for guests to take home as a memento from the day.
Woodland Buddies
Baby animals are a classic trope for baby showers and baby nurseries, and for good reason—they're just so adorable. This woodland creature-themed baby shower melds forest creatures and nature elements (those wooden mushrooms!) with modern shapes and a fresh color palette for a celebration that is totally timeless (and totally charming).
