Get futuristic with a robot themed baby shower! Decorate with metallic colors, gears, and tech-inspired details. Consider serving cupcakes with circuit board designs and handing out mini robot toys as party favors.

Encourage creativity with a DIY arts and crafts station. Guests can paint onesies, decorate bibs, or create a canvas for the baby’s nursery.
4. PJs and Playtime
Host a relaxing baby shower where guests come in their PJs! Include comfy seating, breakfast style snacks, and classic sleepover games.
5. Waiting on Your Arrival
Take off with an aviation inspired baby shower! Use vintage travel decorations, boarding pass invitations, and a luggage tag station for guests to write messages for the baby.
6. Baby Q
Host an outdoor BBQ with a baby twist! Serve classic BBQ dishes, use gingham tablecloths, and add cute signage like “Little Bun in the Oven.” It’s a perfect choice for a laid-back celebration.
7. Our Next Chapter
Perfect for book loving parents, this theme revolves around storytelling and reading. Decorate with classic children’s books, create a book exchange station, and serve “storybook snacks.”
8. Taco ‘Bout a Baby
Who doesn’t love tacos? Decorate with festive papel picado banners, set up a taco bar, and serve fun mocktails. This fiesta style shower will be a hit with guests.
9. Locally Grown Baby
A farm-fresh baby shower featuring rustic décor, fresh produce, and a make-your-own bouquet station is ideal for nature-loving parents.
10. Around the Clock
Mark every milestone with an “Around the Clock” theme. Assign guests a different time of day (morning, nap time, bath time) and have them bring gifts based on their assigned theme.
No matter which theme you choose, the most important part is celebrating the parents-to-be and their upcoming bundle of joy. Happy planning!
