Here are 27 adorable baby shower ideas
1. Bunny invitations
How cute are these invitations?
The watercolor illustrations on both sides are delightful.
And those little creatures are just too cute.
I love how the design incorporates all the essential details while maintaining a playful feel.
Choosing a theme for your baby shower makes everything so much easier.
If you’ve decided on a bunny theme, these invitations are the perfect way to set the tone for your baby shower.
2. Baby boy cake
This is such a cute cake to get if you are having a boy.
I love the little teddies and all of the balls and hot air balloons.
The color combination is also really pretty and suits the theme well.
The stars are a sweet touch.
If you have already decided on a name, then why not add that everywhere, including the cake!
3. Pink and orange invites
This is such a pretty color combination if you are having a girl.
The pink and orange complement each other really well.
I also like the playful shapes that they have used instead of a plain square.
The added ribbon is a really cute touch.
I also love the font that they have used for these invites.
4. Cute cookies
How cute are these cookies?
If you’ve decided on a jungle-themed baby shower, then why not have animal cookies?
I love the little zebra, giraffe, and elephant.
The messages on some of them are also really cute.
I especially love the one that says “We can BEARLY wait.”
Again, here they have added the baby’s name onto the cookies too.
5. Neutral backdrop
If you don’t want the traditional pinks and blues, then a gender-neutral baby shower is a great idea.
This is a good way to decorate the baby shower if you want to announce the gender at the shower.
I like how they have used neutral yet pretty colors for this backdrop.
A backdrop helps with photo opportunities as well.
6. Hot air balloon theme
This is a really common theme to use for a baby shower.
And why wouldn’t it be?
It is so cute!
I like how they have used both blue and pink.
This way, if you are having a boy or a girl, the decor will fit the occasion.
This is a great theme to use if you don’t know the gender yet.
7. Alphabet book activity
This is a really cute activity to use at a baby shower.
This way each letter of the alphabet book is unique and special.
The personalized alphabet book will definitely be a cherished keepsake for the baby to enjoy as they grow.
This is a really great way of getting your guests to interact with each other.
If you’d like the book to match your baby shower theme, you could always tell your guests that each letter has to match the theme of the day.
Like bunnies.
8. Make a wish
This baby shower activity is also really cute.
I love how each guest can write down their hopes for the baby.
This is also a good way of getting your guests to interact with each other.
All of these wishes are so wholesome and heartfelt.
I’d love to read all of these if it were my baby shower.
9. Wishing tree
Here’s another activity where your guests write down their wishes for the baby.
This is a really sweet way for guests to write wishes and hopes for the little one.
As the child grows and learns to read, this will definitely be a cherished gift.
If you’d like to preserve these messages, put them in a scrapbook and give it to the child when the time is right.
This is a good keepsake to look back on this magical day and time in your and your baby’s life.
10. Baby charcuterie board
Here’s a good idea for the food at your baby shower.
Having charcuterie boards that make up the word “baby” really adds to the theme of the day.
If you already know the gender you could have “baby girl” or “baby boy” or if you know their name already you could have that there as well.
This is also a good idea for keeping your guests with dietary restrictions happy.
You could have a “gluten-free letter” or “vegan letter” so that the food doesn’t mix.
11. Mini platters
This is also a really cute food idea.
Having individual platters also ensures that dietary concerns are addressed.
What’s great is that everyone can enjoy the celebration without worry!
I like how they have added name tags at each guest’s place.
And the “hot mama” tag on the platter is also really cute.
12. Baby girl themed food
Here’s a food theme that uses the baby girl theme.
These “baby girl” cookies are really cute and super clever.
I like how they have made this into a sweet platter.
The cake is also gorgeous.
The added flowers give it a dainty, girly effect.
13. Winnie the Pooh theme
Now this theme is cute!
Using one of your favorite childhood books is a really cute way of making the theme for your baby shower a bit more personal.
This decor is on point.
I love the hunny barrel and all of the foliage and flowers they have added around the backdrop.
Using a huge version of the book is a cute idea for the backdrop.
There are so many children’s books that you could use as the theme – the possibilities are endless.
14. Daisy theme
Here’s another good theme to use if you are having a baby girl.
This dainty theme is simple enough for anyone to pull off.
Having a general theme like this almost makes the decorating easier.
You could also use sunflowers or roses as the theme.
If your baby girl’s name is going to be Daisy, then this is the theme for you.
15. Peter Rabbit theme
Another children’s book theme for a baby shower.
This is also a really cute theme that you could use.
I like how they have added a little fence and a large cut out of Peter Rabbit.
The color scheme for this theme is also really cute.
If you are having a baby boy, then this is the theme for you to use.
16. Flower theme
This theme is gorgeous and SO aesthetic.
If you want an Instagrammable baby shower, then this is the aesthetic you want to go for.
I love how the backdrop says “baby in bloom” and how they have added little flowers all over.
The colors of these flowers are gorgeous and so are the balloons.
This is a good theme to use if you are having a baby girl.
17. Watermelon theme
If you are having your baby girl in summer, this is a really cute theme that you could use.
I love how they have made all of these items into a watermelon version.
The pastel colors are also really beautiful.
I love how they have made the little diaper and shirt combo into a watermelon – so cute!
18. Personalized chocolate bars
If you are looking for baby shower thank you gifts then this is the idea for you.
I love how they have personalized these chocolate bars into a personal message to all the guests.
The little monkey on the bars is so cute.
If you are having a jungle theme, you could add many more animals to the bars.
If you’re considering a show based on a book, you could add all of the characters to the bars.
19. Framed keepsake
Here’s a special idea that you could use as a keepsake for your nursery.
Have a little onesie ready, and let your guests sign around the frame to mark who was there.
This is a really cute Paddington Bear themed onesie.
If you are having a storybook-themed shower, try to look for a onesie with those characters.
20. Lady bug themed shower
This is also a really cute theme for a baby shower if you are having a little boy or girl.
If you are having a little boy, you can change the pink colors to red or another color you’d think would be great for your little one.
This invite is so adorable.
I love how they have gone for the “love bug” theme – this shows that the baby is already so loved.
The envelope stamp with all of the bugs is also so cute.
21. Dumbo theme
This is a classic childhood favorite.
And because it is also a Disney movie, finding Dumbo-themed decor won’t be hard.
I absolutely love that they have chosen this theme.
It is so cute.
These little flags could be used in table centerpieces or even on a cake or cupcakes.
22. Time to celebrate
This is a really cute baby shower idea.
Giving your guests a bottle of champagne to open when the baby is born is going to make the day even more special.
So even if your guests can’t be there on the big day, they are still celebrating with you at home.
These mini bottles are just the right size.
The pink themed bottles are gorgeous!
But you can choose another color for your baby boy.
23. Teddy theme
A teddy theme for a baby shower is also a popular theme to have if you are having a boy or a girl.
There is just something so cute about a teddy-themed shower.
I like how they have used light blue and neutral colors for the backdrop.
The backdrop also says “We can BEARLY wait” – so cute.
24. Lion-themed shower
This lion theme for a baby boy baby shower is also so cute.
These animated lions are so cute.
I also like the gold and dark green balloons they have used around this cart.
They have not added the food to this yet, but this is going to be the “snacks cart”.
25. “It’s a boy!” cupcakes
These individual cupcakes are so cute.
I love the green icing they have used and the writing they have added to some of the cupcakes.
If you are having a baby girl you can use other icing colors instead of green.
26. Here comes the “son”
This is a really cute baby boy theme to use if you are having your baby shower in summer.
This play on the Beatles song “Here Comes the Sun” is really cute.
I love all of the colors they have used for this backdrop.
27. Boy or Girl?
Here’s another backdrop you could use if you are announcing the gender of your baby at the baby shower.
I like how they have gone with a stork and moon theme – this is so cute.
This backdrop is so detailed and gorgeous.
I love it!
You can also incorporate light-up “boy” and “girl” signs into this backdrop.
Enclose the gender in an envelope and give it to a chosen guest along with a remote control.
On the count of three, have them light up the correct word, creating an unforgettable reveal.
28. Cute baby shower centerpiece
If you’re going to decorate your tables for a baby shower brunch, cute centerpieces are a must-have.
These simple and elegant centerpieces are a great idea to get inspired by!
This would work with a boho or vintage theme baby shower.
29. Boy baby shower theme
Your baby shower food station is a great spot to incorporate some color!
This beautiful boy-themed food station is a wonderful idea!
Think of adding blue ribbons, cute blue napkins, and, of course, blue-and-white-themed treats like cupcakes or cookies.
30. Fall-themed baby shower
If you’re having your baby shower in fall, why not make use of seasonal elements like pumpkins and rustic touches?
Colors like burnt orange and neutrals will work really well for a fall themed baby shower.
31. Creative baby shower gift
If you’re a guest and here for some gift ideas, here’s a good one.
It’s a version of the diaper cake, but they’ve added booties to this.
This is a wonderful and practical gift to give to the mom-to-be.
