Mix and match colorful prints and patterns to create a baby shower theme that is unique and whimsical. This adorable baby shower invitation from Hello Little One captures the fun, eclectic theme perfectly and is a great starting point as you begin planning your party

 

A baby shower in shades of teal, turquoise, coffee brown and custard is a fresh change from baby blue and looks masculine but modern.

A modern take on the classic stork themed baby shower looks fresh and updated with a bright color scheme and clean designs. Here are some adorable ideas to inspire you!

And we couldn’t help but be enamored with these adorable bird cage lanterns to decorate the party! They are a cute and crafty way to carry your invitation all the way through to your décor. Hang them on a string across your mantel. Decorate a branch centerpiece. String them along a banister. There are so many ways to incorporate these fun birds.

Gender Reveal Baby Shower

Boy or Girl? That is the question. Today’s inspiration board is in honor of a new trend we’re seeing for baby showers—gender reveal parties! If you’re sitting there scratching your head wondering what exactly a gender reveal party is… not to worry, we’ll let you in on all the details. Gender reveal parties are a fun and interactive way for the parents-to-be (along with their friends and family) to find out the sex of the baby all together. Here’s how they work: The doctor gives the expecting parents a sealed envelope with the baby’s sex inside. Now, how you do the big reveal at the party is where it gets really creative! Some people have taken the envelope to a bakery and had either a pink or blue center baked into the cake. When they cut into it at the party, everyone finds out the surprise! Some people get even more inspired by the theme by having guests dress in pink or blue to wager their guess on the sex.

Today’s inspiration board was inspired by this playful baby shower invitation featuring a sweet question mark. It really plays up the anticipation of the reveal. Plus, all the colorful graphics provide tons of ideas for bright and punchy décor!

Pink and orange is a fool proof combination for a bright and festive baby shower. We were inspired by the bright back design on this invitation to incorporate sunny yellow accents in our theme. Adding touches of flowers ties it all together perfectly for a warm-weather event.

April Showers Baby Shower

Umbrellas and cheerful rubber duckys make for the ideal springtime baby shower! Here are some ideas to inspire you!


An adorable ladybug theme that might seem appropriate for a child’s birthday party can easily be modified for a sweet and chic baby shower. Rather than decorating your whole event in red and black, use light blue and white as your main colors, with touches of red. Daisies are simple and casual so you can use them throughout the event without looking overwhelming. Finally, incorporate the ladybug theme through whimsical accents, such as creatively decorated food items and favors.



Here is an idea that would be perfect for a whimsical outdoor baby shower; a storybook theme! Touches of fairy tale fantasy will make this theme magical yet classic. Guests can bring their favorite childhood book as a gift for the mom-to-be to add to the baby’s library.

Who says baby showers have to be pink, blue, or lemon yellow? Here are some colorful ideas for an adorable jungle-themed baby shower!
