In the early stages of planning, having a clear direction for your baby shower decorations ideas can make all the difference. With so many styles, themes, and ideas circulating online, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by choice.
Choosing a theme does more than just set the tone… it helps everything else fall into place. From colour palettes and backdrops to signage and small details, a well-styled theme makes the entire experience feel cohesive, memorable, and easy to pull together.
We’ve rounded up nine of our favourite baby shower theme ideas, from new trends we’ve spotted to timeless favourites that always feel special. Plus, we give you some tips on how to bring each one to life in your own way.
1. Teddy Bear Baby Shower
A teddy bear baby shower is one of the most loved and versatile themes, especially for gender neutral baby showers. It’s soft, timeless, and easy to style in a way that still feels modern.
To create the look, combine warm beige and latte-toned balloon garlands with a simple backdrop, custom signage, and (of course) some plush teddy props for a polished finish. Clear plinths or teddy-themed cake stands can also help add structure to the setup.
If you’re looking for a sweet favour idea, mini jars of honey with “I Can Bearly Wait” tags are always a crowd-pleaser, and right on theme!
We’ve brought this theme to life many times using our Beary Balloon Package, which makes styling this look simple and stress-free.
2. Winnie the Pooh Baby Shower
A Winnie the Pooh baby shower decorations are full of charm, nostalgia, and soft storybook sweetness, making it a favourite for parents who want something playful but not overly themed.
To bring the look together, focus on soft yellows, honeycomb accents, and classic Pooh-inspired props. Add a balloon garland in pastel tones (think butter yellow, light pink, and light blue), a backdrop with “Hundred Acre Wood” elements, and themed signage like “A little hunny is on the way.”
Honey cake or cupcakes are a fitting treat, and you could even set up a DIY honey jar station as a cute take-home favour.
Our Winnie the Pooh Deluxe Package was designed with this theme in mind, andincludes all the key styling pieces to create something whimsical and beautifully put together.
3. Pink Baby Shower
A pink baby shower is one of the most classic ways to celebrate a baby girl, and it’s a theme that’s stood the test of time for good reason.
Today’s take on this baby girl baby shower theme is soft, layered, and far more elevated than the bubblegum versions of years past. Think tonal pinks blended with nude, white and blush, styled with a luxe balloon garland, arched backdrops, and florals that add a delicate touch to your event.. Add a matching plinth set for your cake or gifts, and you’ve got a setup that feels cohesive and beautifully put together.
For favours, rosewater cookies or pink-iced cupcakes are simple, sweet, and always appreciated. You could even set up a cupcake decorating station… a fun, low-key activity where guests can create their own treat using pink icing, sprinkles, and baby-themed toppers.
Our Pretty in Pink Package brings together all of these pink baby shower decorations together for a setup that feels both timeless and on-trend.
4. Blue Baby Shower
For a classic baby boy shower theme with a modern twist, a blue colour palette still delivers. But we’re seeing more and more parents keep it simple, pairing soft blues with complementary neutrals like white, beige, or grey for a calm and cohesive look.
To style the space, start with a balloon garland in tonal blues (from baby blue to cornflower) or you can even opt for blue floral bunches. Pair that with a clean white or neutral backdrop, and a personalised sign to tie it all together. Use clear plinths or soft blue cake stands to add height and structure.
For a fun activity, set up a “Guess the Baby Photo” board using childhood pics from your guests. It's always good for a laugh and keeps the vibe relaxed to go with this simple theme.
Our I’m Blue Package includes the core styling elements to bring this blue baby shower theme to life, making it easy to create something simple, thoughtful, and visually on point for your baby boy on the way.
5. Floral Baby Shower
A floral baby shower theme is timeless, elegant, and always in season, especially when paired with relaxed boho or garden-inspired styling.
Layer your space with fresh or dried florals in blush, peach, or soft neutral tones. Use arched mesh backdrops, timber plinths, and organic floral arrangements to create a soft, romantic atmosphere that feels effortless yet elevated. Statement signage, adorable flower details, and a petal-covered cake can add to the charm without overwhelming the look.
You could even set up a DIY bouquet station as a gender guessing game that guests can take home after the fun.
Our Posie Package is one of our most loved floral baby shower setups and includes the key decor elements to bring this vision to life with ease.
6. Gender Neutral Baby Shower
Not everyone wants to go with pink or blue, and that’s where a gender neutral baby shower theme really shines. It’s calm, modern, and ideal for parents keeping the gender a surprise or simply wanting a more natural, timeless look.
This style usually leans into soft neutrals like beige, ivory and latte, with textured elements that add warmth and depth. Think baby boxes for styling, elegant florals, layered backdrops and clean, aesthetic props like cake plinths and customised signage.
Add arched signage with sweet, inclusive phrases like “Baby on the Way,” “Can’t Wait to Meet You,” or simply “Oh Baby” to capture the excitement without giving anything away.
Our Neutral Gender Reveal Package includes all the foundational styling pieces to bring this aesthetic to life and can be easily transformed into a baby shower setup. It’s the perfect option for anyone wanting a baby shower that feels warm, welcoming, and beautifully considered.
7. Balloons and Brunch Baby Shower
There’s something effortlessly joyful about a Balloons & Brunch baby shower, with fresh blooms, bubbly conversation, and a morning spent celebrating your little one on the way.
This is one of our favourite daytime baby shower ideas because it’s easy to personalise, fun to host, and always feels relaxed yet elevated.
Think soft pastel balloon garlands (we love peach, pastel and nude tones), paired with a statement double-arch backdrop and matching mesh plinths to frame your grazing table or cake display. The look is clean, modern, and polished, perfect for indoor or outdoor brunches.
Pair our Deluxe Double Arch Package with your favourite local caterer or a DIY brunch spread, from croissants to bagels, fruit platters, and maybe a mimosa bar (mocktails welcome!). Then sit back and enjoy the day with a perfect event to welcome baby on the way.
Tips for Styling a Cohesive Baby Shower
No matter the theme, the secret to pulling your baby shower decorations together is cohesion. Stick to a colour palette, mix textures like balloons, florals, and signage, and think about how each styling element connects, from the cake table to the backdrop.
