Adorable Baby Shower Themes for Parents-to-Be
Posted on August 23rd
Nothing gives us all the feels quite like a baby shower. There’s just something so special about rallying around a mum- or dad-to-be and celebrating the exciting new journey that they’re about to embark upon.
Travel Theme
Another popular theme for baby showers is travel. Not sure where to start? You can find ideas in culture. How about a baby shower with vintage desserts from across the pond, inspired by the Queen of England?
Alternatively, choose a meaningful travel destination for the mom-to-be, like a memorable childhood getaway or a honeymoon stop. For a baby shower game, consider this fun Baby Around the World puzzle, sure to delight guests!
Nursery Rhyme Theme
This option can be an engaging way to involve the parents-to-be by choosing one of their favorite childhood nursery rhymes. For example, a classic choice is “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” The host could string fairy lights around the party space for ambience, whip up some easy appetizers to feed a crowd and add a charming sign and table centerpieces to set the stage.
Woodland Theme
Craving adventure? A woodsy wonderland theme is the perfect way to usher in new parenthood. Serve popular camping recipes or consider a bar with hot dog toppings as a fun ode to the outdoors. Make it kiddo-focused and embrace popular woodland creatures with banners, cupcake toppers and signs, like this collection from Haley Madison Design on Etsy. If weather permits, host this fête in a park or big backyard. And be sure to try this bear-tastic shower game!
Children’s Book Theme
A book-focused baby shower is a creative option in many ways. First, it can be formatted like a “stock the baby’s bookshelf” type of gathering, where every guest brings a beloved kid’s book, modern or traditional. Second, the celebration could focus on one specific book, like a Dragons Love Tacos–themed shower. These taco-inspired appetizers and our absolute best taco recipes would be a blast, while this emoji word game would be a neat addition to any children’s book-themed baby shower.
