The Best Baby Shower Ideas\"Baby<\/h2>\n

Since most parents-to-be don\u2019t host their own baby showers, it\u2019s up to friends and family to throw a bash fit for a little prince or princess. Baby showers should be held in the last two months before the baby\u2019s due date. Though some parents prefer to have the baby shower after the baby is born so the child can be the center of attention. Check with the parents to find out when they\u2019d prefer to have the party.
\nOnce you have the timing figured out, the fun part begins. Pick out baby shower decorations, sweet treats, and fun themes for the big day. Here\u2019s some inspiration for fun baby shower ideas.<\/p>\n

Best Baby Shower Themes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Selecting a theme<\/a> can bring organization to any party. With a theme, you can create a cohesive event where the food, drinks, and decor all fit together in harmony. A theme can be color-centric<\/a>, such as a blue party for a baby boy or a pink party for a sweet little girl. It can also be based on a favorite children\u2019s novel, character, or party style. Greenvelope\u2019s baby shower collection covers every theme, style, and taste below, with deep customization on colors, fonts, and layouts so the invitation matches the party. Here are some of our favorite baby shower themes.<\/p>\n

Tea Party<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Fill your heart with love for the baby on the way at a posh tea party<\/a> brunch. You can host the party in your backyard and decorate the trees or deck with fairy lights. Choose dainty tea cups and look for blue or pink accents if you\u2019re planning a gender reveal as part of the baby shower. Decorate with pastel hues and add floral centerpieces. Don\u2019t forget to include tea sandwiches, scones, and other sweet and savory desserts.<\/p>\n

Ice Cream Social<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Liven things up with an ice cream inspired shindig. Decorate the space with ice cream cones and set up an ice cream bar with topping from warm fudge to delicate sprinkles. You can choose blue or pink ice cream cones to reflect the baby\u2019s gender or go for a vibrant affair with all the colors of the rainbow.<\/p>\n

Baby-Q<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Want something casual? Grab your cowboy boots, gingham tablecloths, and some mason jars, and prepare to grill it up with this backyard-barbecue baby-shower theme. Set up a sausage and burger bar where baby shower guests can load up on barbecue favorites from mac and cheese and coleslaw to bratwurst, turkey burgers, and pickles.<\/p>\n

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Nursery rhymes are a great place to get ideas for baby shower themes. From a school-themed shower inspired by \u201cWheels on the Bus\u201d to a London-themed spectacular based on \u201cLondon Bridge is Falling Down,\u201d nursery rhymes offer endless inspiration. For a Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star party, decorate the space with glittering stars, moon mobiles, and neutral hues like white, tan, and navy.<\/p>\n

Nesting<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Hail the arrival of the stork with a bird-themed party. Cut out birds on colored construction paper and hang them from twigs in a glass vase for your centerpiece. Serve cupcakes with coconut frosting to mimic the look of a nest and top them with sugared birds. Hand out party favors that resemble nests and fill them with jelly beans or other egg-shaped candies.<\/p>\n
