As the old English Proverb says, “April showers bring May flowers”…or in this case, March or April baby showers bring babies in May, June or July! If you’re hosting a baby shower this spring, we’ve got everything you need to have a bright and sunny baby shower! Whether you’re looking for a theme, invitations, or decorations, we’ve got you covered with 5 springtime shower themes to help usher in one of the most beautiful seasons – motherhood!
1. Baby in Bloom
One of our all-time favorite spring baby shower themes is “Baby In Bloom.” If you’re looking for maximum flexibility when it comes to colors and styles, this theme is a great option that can work for both boys and girls or even for a gender-neutral celebration!
As mentioned above, this theme leaves room for party planners to capitalize on the style and/or preferences of the guest of honor. Whether you’re planning a shower for a more boho mama-to-be (see the invitation above for inspiration) or want to go the more whimsical route (see the cookies below), this theme is sure to have you and your guests all the springtime vibes!
A fun way to personalize your event decor is to add a birthday flower of your child’s due date. For example, a vase of pink or white roses would make a beautiful centerpiece to honor the arrival of a June baby. See the chart below for more details!
We can’t close this theme without mentioning this lovely flower accent chair. This is the perfect perch for your guest of honor to use when opening a gift!
2. A Little Honey is On The Way
There’s nothing sweeter than a new baby, which is why “honey” makes such an adorable spring theme! “A Little Honey is On The Way” can work for any gender and gives plenty of leeway when it comes to color and style.
The best part about honey? You can put it in your decor and on the menu itself! Get them little honey bees and add them to your flowers and buffet–they’re sure to create some buzz! You can even deliver some honey ginger lemonade for your guests to enjoy.
One of our favorite baby shower elements is a unique and on-theme guest book, and children’s books that double as guest books are at the top of our list! This classic edition of Winne the Pooh by AA Milne is the perfect place for guests to leave little notes for the new baby!
Let the guests taste the sweetness of this theme after this party honey jar favors! Add favor tags to say “thank you” to your family and friends for sharing this fun time with you!
3. You are my light
When we think of spring, our minds immediately think of warm, sunny days! With colors of bright orange and yellow, the “You’re My Sunshine” theme is perfect for celebrating the joyous season of motherhood!
For the young mamas-to-be, “Here Comes The Son” is a sweet twist on this darling theme (and be sure to add the classic Beatles hit to your party playlist)!
For female mamas or a gender-neutral celebration, “A Little Ray of Sunshine” or “You Are My Sunshine” are cute choices!
A custom cake topper adding a bright touch to the dessert. Add the baby’s name or a cute saying!
Invite guests to cool off with a sun-inspired cocktail (or mocktail). Combine bright citrus flavors like orange, pineapple, and mango juice into something that sparkles–this recipe is one of our favorites!
4. Peter Rabbit
Beatrix Potter, author of The Story of Peter Rabbit, once wrote, “Even the smallest can change the world.” We can’t get along anymore! What better way to celebrate your little world-changer than with this adorable Peter Rabbit baby shower!
Invite guests to ride these lovelies Peter Rabbit invitations! The gingham border can be repeated on tablecloths, napkins, and more.
Any floral arrangement will be on-theme with the addition of carrots!
The garden of Mr. McGregor is the perfect inspiration for the menu! Create a salad bar filled with Peter Rabbit’s favorite vegetables. Add herbs, galvanized buckets, and wood elements to create levels and evoke images from the book. Peter’s left-behind jacket is a cute finishing touch!
We love when decor does double duty: show them off Peter Rabbit prints in the shower today and give it to the mom-to-be to use in the nursery!
In the book, Peter is sent to bed without dessert–but your guests deserve a sweeter ending! These little carrot cakes are the perfect send-off.
If there’s ever a time to incorporate a balloon arch into your decor, this theme definitely needs it. We love that small businesses make it easy to create a themed perfect arch!
5. Locally Grown
Last but not least, this “Locally Grown” theme is the sweetest and tastiest springtime baby shower theme we’ve ever seen! We can almost picture the charcuterie display, the good weather, and the sweet memories made under a string of tea lights!
Speaking of charcuterie boards, this grazing board kit is the perfect way to personalize a delicious spread! With each letter filled with decadent meats and cheeses, this is sure to be the focal point of your gathering!
Bring the farm to the table with flowers displayed in vintage vegetable and kale cans used as garnish. Other ideas include incorporating crates, baskets, and galvanized buckets into your place settings and buffet displays!
While throwing your loved one a baby shower is a generous gesture, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to show off this adorable, on-theme onesie. Display it now as a decoration, and give it to the new mother as a reminder of such a happy occasion.
