What Is a “Here Comes the Son” Baby Shower?
“Here comes the son” baby shower is an adorable theme that celebrates all that’s beautiful about the sun. Excited hosts often set the stage with sun-themed decor, invitations, and baby shower games that match.
The theme influences everything from the welcome sign to the rest of your baby shower ideas, and this is an excellent choice for a summer baby; even better if either parent is a Beatles fan!
While many parents opt for sun-themed decor and styling, you can also expand into other similar areas. For example, happy clouds and rainbows, and even other planets or the moon. It’s a lovely way to bring a playful vibe to the celebrations.
How to Create Your Own “Here Comes the Son” Baby Shower Invites
Embrace the party spirit with fun, personalized invitations for your ‘here comes the son’ themed baby shower. Here’s how to do it, step by step.
1. Finalize Your Party Theme Choices
You have your central baby shower theme all sorted, but how about the finer details? The style, colors, and formality all influence how your baby shower invitations look and feel.
Are you going for a retro vibe or more of a boho feel? Is your color palette bright and bold, or more muted and sophisticated? Is your baby shower decor primarily orange, or are there pops of color from across the rainbow? Is this a formal gathering or a casual open house?
Here are some common choices:
- Color palette: Embrace warm, sunny hues like golden yellow, bright orange, and coral, or go with softer pastels like butter yellow, peach, and sky blue. You can also incorporate rainbow accents for a playful aesthetic.
- Decor elements: Try sun-shaped balloons, yellow and orange streamers, sunflower centerpieces, citrus fruit baskets, or star confetti to bring your theme to life.
- Extra style: Add finishing touches for your theme. For example, you might use watercolor sun artwork for a boho vibe, or a retro Beatles-inspired banner with a vintage font.
Think about what you want the event to be like, then move on to finding an invitation that’s an ideal match.
