1. Little Cutie Baby Shower Theme
This is such an adorable theme that plays off of Cuties mandarin oranges, perfect for boy moms. Orange decor, snacks, and themed food ties it all together!
I just love what they did with the cake above, layering oranges on a simple white cake.
2. Ahoy it’s a Boy Baby Shower Theme
Ahoy it’s a Boy is a sweet ocean theme for baby boy. Party favors can reflect the theme and provide guests with a memorable keepsake. Small items like sailboat keychains or compass keychains are easy and fun.
Using an ocean themed picture book for guest signatures is a unique memorable gift that the baby can have even after they grow up.
3. Lemon Theme Baby Shower
Lemon theme baby showers are so bright and refreshing for summer. Lemon-based foods, lemonade, bright yellow decor and a photo booth would be great for this theme.
Favors, such as lemon candies or scented items would be easy and affordable. Drawing from online resources like blogs and party planning sites, these ideas offer a starting point for a personalized and festive baby shower, tailored to the preferences and budget of the host.
This printable pack, is so cute for Lemon themed invites, diaper raffle sign up, and book for baby request!
4. Here Comes the Son Baby Shower
This theme has been going viral for the past few years. It’s perfect for welcoming a baby boy, given the play on “son” and “sun.” Which, also ties in well with the summer season.
Planning this party is easy with yellow and blue colors to sun sugar cookies, yellow balloon arches that create cute photo ops.
For party favors you can do sun-shaped cookies or summer themed keychains. Check out these cute Here Comes the Son Royal Icing Cookies you can order for your shower!
5. Aloha Baby Themed Shower
Tropical themes like Aloha Baby are perfect for summer time. Serve a tropical fruit plate with pineapple and tropical punch to your guests. I love the idea of a luau feast themed table with skewers and Hawaiian food!
There are lots of customizable favor options available too like these cute Aloha Baby soaps! When you’re guests arrive you can hand out flower leis too or have a DIY lei making station and use these for favors.
6. Bohemian Baby Shower
Bohemian is a great outdoor baby shower theme. Using pillows as seating outdoors with florals and natural decor makes for a dreamy and intimate setting for your guests.
Neutral colors make this the perfect theme for baby boy. For favors you could do DIY flower crowns or a boho photo booth where guests can take home their photos.
A simple Charcuterie board works for food with parfaits, tea, and infused water. I love how this theme is great for that summer picnic feel!
7. Slice Slice Baby Themed Shower
Okay this theme is fun and honestly I think would work well for a co-ed baby shower. Who doesn’t love a pizza party during the summer?
Invitations for this would be so cute with quotes like “A Little Slice is on the Way!”. Of course it’s going to be pizza for the food. It’s a no brainer menu! You could even do a DIY build your own pizza bar if you want to get more creative.
You could give pizza slicers with a pizza recipe attached or mini pizza boxes filled with a cookie or candy for favors.
A photo booth could be fun for this with a pizzeria themed photo complete with chefs hats, mustaches, or inflatable pizza costumes.
8. Winnie the Pooh Themed Baby Shower
Winnie the Pooh is a perfect for summer theme for boys. The classic Pooh characters are so sweet and make for a magical atmosphere.
I love the idea of giving away honey for a party favor. Having a custom Winnie the Pooh cake or sugar cookies is so cute… and honestly would go really good with a buffet style brunch.
This theme works well for indoor or outdoors if it’s not too hot. The printable invitations and signs on Etsy for Winnie the Pooh are adorable too!
9. Shark Themed Baby Shower
Dun dun dun…. Baby Incoming! Love the cute sayings like this that go along with the Shark Theme Baby Shower!
This Shark Themed Drop Box is so cute for guests to sign for baby. You can do blue, white and silver balloon arches for photo ops and decor with cute shark cutouts on the walls.
Shark keychains or mini bottles of ocean scented hand sanitizer would be perfect for favors too!
10. Ice Cream Baby Shower
Celebrate your new baby with the cutest ice cream sundae bar—complete with pastel-colored toppings, whimsical sprinkles, and little waffle cones filled with sweetness.
Ice cream-shaped cookies and dreamy pastel balloon garlands would be so adorable for this theme. And don’t forget to set up a little “Sweet Wishes” station for your guests; they’ll leave adorable notes that’ll melt your heart!
