Teddy Bear Baby Shower Decoration Ideas
Celebrate your upcoming arrival with a cozy teddy bear baby shower featuring adorable bear-themed decor, soft color palettes, and other cute details. Next, we’ll discuss some teddy bear baby shower centerpieces, decorations, cakes, and more for a boy, girl, or gender-neutral baby shower.
Boy Baby Shower
Centerpiece
One of the best teddy bear baby shower centerpieces for a boy is a blue teddy bear holding a balloon bouquet. You can choose balloons in different shades of blue or different colors (like blue, white, and silver) to match your baby shower theme.
Tie the balloons to the bear’s hand with ribbon to make it look like he is holding them. Lean the bear against a vase, place it on a small chair, or do a DIY base to keep it in place.
Tableware
A quick Google search of “blue teddy bear plates, cups, and napkins” will pull up several options for a boy teddy bear themed baby shower. You can choose cute plates featuring a cartoon bear or elegant ones with simple lettering and a bear outline. Matching cups, napkins, and plates are often sold together, like this one We Can Bearly Wait Teddy Bear Tableware Set from Amazon.
Backdrop
Blue and white paper honeycombs are classic teddy bear baby shower decorations, which come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Place cutouts of teddy bears on the wall below the honeycombs to create an adorable photo backdrop. Make sure the honeycombs are low enough to see in the pictures but not so low they get in the way. Make your backdrop an open wall, canvas background, or sheet.
cake
Make your little one’s teddy bear baby shower cake “unbearably” cute by making a gorgeous, two- or three-tiered cake with blue frosting. Place a teddy bear topper on the top layer of the cake, with paw prints going down the sides. For a teddy bear adventure theme, include small trees, tents, and ladders that climb up from the tier.
Favors
If you plan to invite a lot of parents with young children to your teddy bear baby shower, consider giving out small blue teddy bear plushies as party favors. They are adorable and will be a pleasant surprise for the kiddos! However, if most of your guests do not have children, consider providing bear-shaped candles instead, as they are practical and will appeal to guests with and without children.
Cookies
Bear-shaped sugar cookies with blue icing are the perfect treat for a boy teddy bear-themed baby shower. You can create cookies using a bear cookie cutout. Once they have cooled, add the blue icing, then use black or white icing to add the bear’s faces and accessories. Draw onesies or bowties on the bears to make them even cuter.
Women’s Baby Shower
Centerpiece
Are you looking for a teddy bear baby shower centerpiece for your baby girl that is cute and easy to make? Then, consider creating a pink teddy bear centerpiece with a floral arrangement. To do this, place a small pink bear inside, next to, or in front of the flower arrangement. Another option is to place the bear’s arms around the stems of the flowers as if it were holding a bouquet.
Tableware
Pink is the classic color for a girl teddy bear baby shower theme, making pink plates, cups, and napkins the obvious choice. Online there are many options available, including boho pink plates featuring teddy bears surrounded by roses and pampas grass or minimalist plates, with simple drawings of bears surrounded by pink flowers. On Amazon, you can find pink plates, cups, and napkins sold in sets, so you don’t have to shop around.
Backdrop
Use flowers to create the perfect teddy bear baby shower backdrop for a baby girl. You can buy pink and white paper flowers or a wall mat covered with flowers from top to bottom. Place stuffed teddy bears wearing pink onesies or holding pink balloons in front of flowers to create an ultra-feminine backdrop that your guests will adore.
cake
Your little girl’s celebration wouldn’t be complete without an adorable teddy bear baby shower cake! Make a one, two, or three-tiered cake covered in pink frosting. Add a teddy bear topper holding a heart or pink balloon. Then, use icing to create hearts and flowers on the sides of the cake. Add fresh flowers to each tier for an elegant touch.
Favors
Are you inviting lots of parents to your teddy bear baby shower? Then, consider giving out cute pink teddy bear plushies as your party favors. It will be a hit with the kids! However, if your party consists mainly of childless adults, consider purchasing teddy bear-shaped soaps. It’s a sweet (and on-theme) way to say “thank you” for attending your big day.
Cookies
Treat your guests to a sweet surprise by making adorable teddy bear-shaped cookies. Use pink icing for the base, then add white or black icing to create the bears’ eyes, mouth, and nose. You can also use icing or candy to create feminine accents, such as bows or flowers on the bears’ heads or bodies. Add pink onesies or tutus for extra cuteness!
Gender Neutral Baby Shower
Centerpiece
A brown teddy bear with a greenery arrangement or a neutral-colored balloon is one of our favorite gender-neutral teddy bear baby shower centerpieces. Sit the teddy bear on a natural cut of wood, then place the plant in its arms as if it were holding a bouquet. Or, place the bear in a standing or sitting position on top of a box covered with a neutral-colored cloth, then place balloons in its hands. This centerpiece is easy to assemble and beautiful, making it the best of both worlds!
Tableware
Earth-colored plates, cups, and napkins are ideal for a gender-neutral teddy bear baby shower. You can go the youth route and choose a set with plates shaped like a cartoon bear head. There are also minimalist options, such as these plates with elegant writing that says “we can bearly wait” and the outline of a bear’s head.
Backdrop
A simple backdrop idea for a gender-neutral teddy bear baby shower is to hang brown, tan, and other neutral-colored paper streamers on a blank wall. Then, add cutouts of sleeping teddy bears to enter your sleepy teddy theme. Add a balloon arch and a giant stuffed bear wearing a sleeping cap to give your backdrop some extra pizzaz.
cake
Make your child’s teddy bear baby shower even cuter with a teddy-themed cake. Use cream or white-frosted for the base, then add a teddy bear topper. Add stars to the side of the cake with dark blue or black frosting to reflect your sleepy teddy theme. If making stars out of icing is too difficult, use moon and star cake toppers instead.
Favors
Giving your guests party favors is a great way to thank them for attending your gender-neutral teddy bear baby shower. You can give guests small brown teddy bear plushies if many of them have children. Another cute idea is teddy bear shaped cookie cutters (especially if your friends and family love to bake).
Cookies
Do you want to add a lovely treat to your dessert table? Then, consider making teddy bear-shaped cookies with neutral icing. Add the bear’s face, with a brown bow around its neck for accents. You can also leave the bear plain or put it in a neutral colored onesie to make it look like a baby cub. Be as creative as you want!
