Baby Shower Ideas

Baby showers are one of the funnest events to host for one of your dear family members or friends. Filled with happiness and emotion, its a great way to 'send off' the mother to be (and father) into the world of parenthood. Choices these days range from a pamper party for Mum, a baby sprinkle, a surprise shower or a full on baby shower with family and friends from afar.

Baby Shower Themes

When organising a baby shower you need to decide on a theme. The first choice is to decide between a gendered or gender neutral theme.  For parents that know the sex of their new baby, a blue or pink theme party may be a great choice. For gender neutral options there are great themes such as bunny, a yellow "you are my sunshine" theme, pastel, rainbow or a mix of pink and blue.

Baby Shower Tableware

To help give your baby shower the wow factor, choosing on-theme tableware is the perfect place to start. Complimentary dinner and dessert plates will look beautiful layered on top of each other, while matching paper cups with paper straws will complete the look. Top it all off with some coloured napkins to wipe away any doubt that you are a baby shower host extraordinaire!

Baby Shower Decorations

Baby showers are so much fun to decorate with so many beautiful shades of pink, blues and pastels to choose from. Our recommendation is to choose a big feature decoration such as a balloon garland or flower garland. This is a sure fire way to make a big impact as your guests enter your baby shower destination. To decorate the food area or dinner table, we recommend adding a touch of confetti matching your colour scheme as a beautiful way to add more colour and detail to your celebration.

Baby Shower Food

For a baby shower its easy to stay on theme, choosing items like pink and white marshmallows, coloured lollies or candy floss. Coloured popcorn in themed treat boxes is a delicious option and an easy way to give your guests their own bite sizes portions.

Depending on the audience your baby shower could be a good excuse to stage your very own high tea. Selecting a range of quiches, scones and petite fours you'll be sure to delight your guests. The addition of cupcakes is a great way to continue drawing your theme into the food, with the addition of a cupcake decorations kit you can ensure your baking looks flawless.

Baby Shower Cake

While there are often no candles to blow out, who doesn't love cake? This is one area where the sky's the limit with options. Either go for a standard layered cake, a cake with baby or animal figurines, a floral cake or perhaps even a gender reveal cake. Make sure you add an "Oh Baby" cake topper to make your cake extra special.

Baby Shower Favours

To close the event, fill up your goodie bags with treats, left over cake, cupcakes or lollies to thank your guests for their gifts and time.. An adult colouring in book, flowers, pamper products or something homemade are also great options to personalise your gratitude.
