Baby Shower Theme Ideas


After some extensive research on baby shower theme ideas, we’ve come up with our “A” list! A collection of baby shower theme ideas and cool baby shower themes for planning a baby shower!

Add your favorite unique baby shower themes. Send us your idea and we’ll add it to our list!


Tip: When deciding on a theme, remember to Keep It Simple, Fun and Easy! Think about Mom-To-Be and that special group of guests you’re inviting. This will steer you in the right direction. Don’t feel like everything has to be heavily themed with matching plates, napkins, decorations!

The Sugar and Spice Shower

And everything nice in this baby shower theme idea … It’s a girl! Welcome to Candyland! Use all different kinds of candies, cookies… and don’t forget the white and pink chocolate!

showerthemeseducationaltoys

The Baby Einstein Shower

Are you thinking of baby shower themes of a more intellectual flavor? Is Mom-To-Be an intellectual type or a teacher? Is she interested in educational toys? For this baby shower theme idea, suggest that your guests bring educational gifts. There are
some great ones out there even for newborns! More to come!



The Baby Book Shower

Ask guests to bring a copy of their favorite children's book as a gift to start the baby's library. Reading to an infant, or even to your unborn child has been researched, proving higher academic achievement in child development! Use old baby books, if you have them to decorate and make the cake in the shape of Mother Goose’s Nursery Rhymes! Give your guests a hand made bookmark as a party favor. More to come!





The Character Themed Shower

Planning a baby shower around a character theme can be a lot of fun! Does Dad or Mom-To-Be love Winnie the Pooh, Spongebob, Avatar, Wolverine, etc. Center this baby shower theme idea around their favorite character. Many party stores carry every theme imaginable that can also be used for showers … think outside the box! ;)



showerthemesnursery

The Nursery Shower

Help Dad and Mom-To-Be with decorating the nursery. Ask guests to bring items
like paintings or pictures to hang in the nursery, crib bedding, changing table accessories, lamps, nightlights … check Mom-To-Be’s registry to make sure it fits with her nursery theme. Or, maybe they need some help painting and putting it all together. Everyone can help pitch in! More to come!




The Pamper Mom Shower

Does Mom-To-Be already have everything she needs? Then throw a “Pamper Mom Shower”! Have guests bring gifts for Mom-To-Be to make her feel more comfortable during her pregnancy. Oils and lotions for stretch mark prevention and dryness, soothing bath salts or shower gels ... nausea, heartburn and hemorrhoids remedies. Tips for anxiety, swollen feet, exercising, child birth and anything else you can offer advice on for pregnancy to birth!

Think about maybe a pedicure kit ... for when she can reach her toes again! Or a gift certificate for a pedicure or some other pampering at her favorite spa or salon. Maybe a sexy negligee! More ideas for this baby shower theme idea to come!



The Massage Shower

If you're thinking about cool baby shower themes for the Mom-To-Be that has everything ... this baby shower theme idea is THE ultimate gift! Hire a massage therapist to give Mom-To-Be a prenatal massage. Make sure you have a private room for Mom-To-Be and also discuss with her beforehand to make sure she's comfortable with the idea. If your guests are interested, also hire chair massage therapist to give each of your guests a chair massage throughout the shower!



showerthemegirlsnightout

The Girls Night Out Shower

Break with tradition. Unique baby shower themes come in all types of packaging! For this baby shower theme idea and have a girls night out on the town! Make sure Mom-To-Be drinks the ‘virgin’ versions of whatever you’re having.
A small pub/restaurant with live music of Contemporary, Rock,
Jazz or whatever Mom-To-Be’s taste,
makes a great setting.
It also provides for light food, drinks and a great place to open gifts!



The Surprise Shower

Our advice … Don’t Do It! Mom-To-Be’s hormones are raging at this point, and she’d like to know what’s going on! She may not need to be involved in all the planning, but as we’ve said before … Keep Her In The Loop!



The Tea Party Shower

This is a great baby shower theme idea if you have a Tea Parlor in your area. This makes a great setting for “just the girls”. Or have a Tea Party at your home.

Tea and crumpets, anyone? Or, maybe floral cupcakes … yummy!



showerthemesbearnecessities

The Bear Necessities Shower

Ask guests to bring basics for gifts. Like Diapers, receiving blankets, bottles, baby bath tub, bath wash, wash cloths, hoodie towels, lotions, A&D ointment, a thermometer … any and all basic necessities. Decorate with teddy bears!



The Baby Donation Shower

Baby shower theme ideas don't Have to be all about giving to Mom-To-Be and Baby. Is Mom-To-Be active in charity work? Does she have everything she needs already? Set up a donation to a favorite charitable organization.

Another idea to consider ... set up a college fund for the new baby or have your guests bring Savings Bonds as gifts!



The Sports Shower

Great for baby boy showers, or The Dad Shower. Football, baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer … sports baby shower theme ideas! Find out dad’s, or Mom-To-Be's favorite sport and theme the shower around the sport. Think Super Bowl Party, World Series Party for this idea .... sports themes are great for a casual couples shower. Plan for the guys to fire up the grill and play Toss the Baby in the back yard ... fill up water balloons with baby faces on them, toss them back and forth, and whoever stays dry, wins the prize!

The Grandparents Shower

Grandparents get so excited about the arrival of their new grandchildren. This baby shower theme idea will make them feel a part of the special occasion ... a shower just for them! Gift Grandma and Grampa all the supplies they’ll need for those overnight and weekend stays!

The Out-of-Towners Shower

For all of you "high-technos", this is a very cool idea if you have Video Phones! Invite friends and family that also have video phones. It’s a great way for grandparents, friends and family to join in the celebration when they can’t travel to your location.
We've been using this Video Phone and love it!



The Office Shower

Throw a shower at the office and include all of Mom-To-Be’s co-workers. Make it a pot luck at lunch time, or just have chips, dips and a small cake at break time!





The Holiday Shower

Holidays provide a great opportunity to create baby shower themes. Throw the Baby Shower on, or just before the next big holiday and make the theme for That particular holiday! Whether it's Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Easter, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day ... even Superbowl Sunday, St. Patrick's Day, or the Fourth of July ... you'll already have the decorations and everyone will be in a festive mood, ready for a Holiday baby shower celebration!

showerthemespool

The Pool Shower

Fun in the Sun and great for Mom-To-Be to relax in the pool! If Mom-To-Be is a water lover, ask guests to bring gifts for baby’s first adventures in the water.

Items like pool toys, life jacket, floats, ear plugs, baby swimsuits … they’re so cute! If you’re near a beach, don’t forget to gift the sand pail, shovels and sandcastle molds!





The Scrapbook Shower

A Polaroid camera is best for this baby shower theme idea so photos can be mounted right away. Buy enough scrapbooking supplies for everyone to join in. Or, ask your guests to bring their own to create a personalized gift page uniquely from them. You can be very creative with many different styles! We also found these at Two Peas In A Bucket. Type "baby" into their search box and discover all of the creative ideas available. Make sure you check out their member gallery as well.




The Memory Book Shower

Supply a blank bound book and have your guests write a note to baby and parents-to-be about mom and dad, or a few words of wisdom about parenting.



The Time Capsule Shower

Ask your guests to bring items relevant to the current times. Include: Musics CD’s, fashion magazines, tabloid magazines and a video or pictures taken at the shower. Be creative … maybe an ultrasound picture or video and Mom and Dad’s family trees.

Don’t forget to buy a newspaper the day the child is born. Give this job to a responsible person so Mom and Dad don’t have to worry about it. It can be added to the time capsule and then it can be sealed.
