Baby shower ideas

Every good party has a theme. The internet has adorable ideas and quirky puns, but we've done the hard work and rounded up a few of our favorites. Use one of ours or make up your own - just be sure to pick a theme best representing the parents-to-be!

Parents to bee

Oh honey, this bee theme will surely showcase how sweet celebrating a new life is! Spring and summer are the seasons for the bees, so this un-bee-lievable theme is perfect for parents expecting in the warmer months.

 

  • Venue: You can't have a honeybee party without hosting it in the bee-autiful outdoors! Choose an outdoor baby shower venue to lean into this adorable shower concept.
  • Decor: You don't have to bee super creative to capture this theme. Use yellow and gold party decor, like balloons and streamers, and floral accents.
  • Food: Treat everyone in your hive to some delicious bar-bee-cue, lemonade, and treats sweetened with honey! Your guests will be buzzing about your shower for weeks to come.

Ready to Pop

While expectant moms may not love feeling ready to pop, they'll definitely pop a smile out of this creative baby shower theme! 


  • Venue: Make the most of this colorful theme by finding a venue to serve as a blank canvas and a backdrop for your bright decor.
  • Decor: What would be better for a popping party than balloons? This is your chance to embrace your inner child and fill the room with balloons! More is more when it comes to this exciting theme.
  • Food: Consider everything that goes "pop": popcorn, champagne or sparkling cider, soda pop, cake pops, popsicles, and lollipops all fit the bill!

We can bear-ly wait

Perfect for parents wanting a more laid-back baby shower, this teddy bear theme will make everyone relive their childhood with nostalgia.

 

  • Venue: Go all-in on creating a cozy atmosphere by hosting your beary cute celebration at a barn or cabin event venue.
  • Decor: Your guests will paws-itively love your cozy and com-fur-table decor in soft shades and muted hues. Bonus points for each stuffed teddy sitting around the room!
  • Food: What else would you serve besides a bear's favorite snacks? Treat all of your loved cubs to some root bear, honey, straw-bearys, blue-bearys, rasp-bearys, gummy bears, and beary cute cookies for a party to remem-bear.
