So Sweet, So Glam: Pink and Gold Baby Shower Ideas

Pink and gold baby shower invitation

Sometimes all you need for your baby shower theme is a good color scheme, and we love a pink and gold color combo to add a little glamour to your little one’s first soirée. (Even if they’ll be attending said soirée in utero.) While a pink and gold baby shower is a popular choice for a baby girl shower, this color scheme can work for any baby shower.

As gender norms become less rigid, progressive parents are embracing this scheme for their baby boys, and it can even be a fun red herring (or should we say pink herring?) for a gender reveal party. It’s an especially fitting choice when the parents-to-be love a glamorous gold accent — after all, a baby shower party is as much a celebration of the parents as it is the baby.

To help you plan your pre-baby bash, we’ve rounded up all our favorite on-theme party ideas. Discover beautiful baby shower invitations, party decorations, menu suggestions, and more. Here are our pink and gold baby shower ideas to inspire your celebration.
