1. “Oh Baby!” – Minimalist and Elegant

2. Teddy Bear Theme

Teddy bears, fluff, and neutral colors. Perfect for a cozy and warm shower with soft details and pastels.

3. “A Star is Born” – Star Theme

Stars, moons, and sparkle! Use fairy lights, gold, and silver to create a magical, dreamy vibe.

4. Boho Baby

Macramé, dried flowers, and earthy tones like terracotta and sand. Add natural textures for a laid-back feel.

5. “Little Peanut” – Elephant Theme

Adorable, playful, and sweet. Elephant decorations in gray, blue, or pink with simple balloon setups.

6. Gender Neutral Jungle

Think lush greenery, jungle animals, and wooden accents. A great pick if baby’s gender is a surprise!

7. Pink or Blue? – Gender Reveal Style

Mix pink and blue and let guests guess! Perfect if the baby shower also doubles as a gender reveal.

8. Vintage Baby

Inspired by vintage children’s books and toys. Think lace, pastels, and charming thrifted finds.

9. Breakfast Baby Shower (Brunch!)

Host a relaxed brunch with coffee, smoothies, and pancakes. Try a gentle color palette like lavender or mint.

10. Seasonal Theme – Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter

Match the baby shower to the season: spring blossoms, summer fruit, autumn leaves, or wintery whites.

Tip!

Pick a theme that fits the mom-to-be – and don’t be afraid to combine! A boho theme can go great with brunch, or try a “Star is Born” evening with winter magic.
