There seems to be an endless supply of baby shower themes all over the internet, but when you want to stick to a more gender neutral theme, it can get a little confusing! When it comes time to throw a baby shower, there are many reasons why you might choose to be gender neutral. Maybe the parents-to-be are making the gender a surprise, or maybe they’re just not in love with the more traditional pink or blue baby shower. Whatever the reason, we’ve got you covered with the trendiest gender-neutral themes perfect for welcoming the sweetest babies!
1. Teddy Bear Baby Shower Theme
I am in love with this sweet, cuddly theme! Tie in all the pretty neutral colors with teddy bears everywhere to create the most adorable gender-neutral shower. Pops of gold and greenery bring a sophisticated element that’s sure to wow any mom-to-be. When I was a baby, I was given a teddy bear that I took with me everywhere, and eventually, I passed it on to my firstborn, so this theme is very near and dear to my heart. If the expectant parents have any special “loveys,” this would be the most adorable personal touch to show them at the shower, along with a childhood photo!
2. Modern Safari Baby Shower Theme
Your guests will go wild at this neutral and modern safari-themed shower! Black and white is super chic, and animal prints and figurines add the perfect amount of whimsy. The stenciled animal cake looks so sleek, and it can be made as a super easy semi-DIY! Buy a white frosted cake from any bakery (even a supermarket), buy this stencil on Amazon, put it on the cake, spread on any kind of icing or luster dust for a little bling, and voila! You have the perfect cake for the occasion!
3. Pastels Baby Shower Theme
The best thing about modern, gender-neutral baby showers is that they don’t have to be primarily yellow and green! Soft and beautiful pastels mixed with tans and wood elements work well. my love these invitations, with their vintage vibe, to set the stage. Using a color scheme instead of a theme is a bonus when the colors match the mom-to-be’s nursery decor. Leftover decor can have a second life as a soft accent in the new baby’s room!
Maybe the best thing about a modern, gender-neutral baby shower is that it doesn’t all have to be primarily yellow and green! Beautiful, soft pastels, especially when mixed with tans and wood elements, work well. I love so much these invitations with their vintage vibe to set the stage. Using a color scheme instead of a theme works best when the colors match the mom-to-be’s nursery decor—all the rest of the decor can have a second life as soft accents in the new baby’s room. !
4. Classic Children’s Books Baby Shower Theme
Classic children’s books might be my favorite baby shower theme of all time. Maybe it’s because I love reading classic books to my babies, or maybe it’s the nostalgia; Anyway, I can’t deny my love for this one. I love the idea that you can use any classic books you already have as the perfect decoration, and you can gift any new books you buy from the new baby’s library.
How crazy cute are little books as cupcake toppers?! For an extra special touch, ask guests to inscribe a special message inside their favorite children’s book and add it to their gift in lieu of a card – what a treat for a child to have collection of books from people who loved them before they were even born!
5. A Little Honey on the Way Baby Shower Theme
A trend I’ve been loving lately is anything geometric. It’s clean and modern, and I love how that trend is incorporated into the “Sweet as Can Bee” shower theme. Use the honeycomb shapes in your decor to take bumblebees from sweet and sticky to elegant! Elevate your shower by incorporating nature tones and lots of plants. And I can’t think of a more appropriate shower favor than these personalized wildflower honey sticks from Etsy!
6. You are My Sunshine Baby Shower Theme
Does it get more gender neutral than a classic lullaby? I’m obsessed with these mellow yellow sunshine vibes and I think they’re perfect for a gender-neutral shower. These invitations found on Etsy could not be more perfect. Combine sunny yellows with soft oranges, other neutrals, and greenery throughout your decor to create the perfect feel. I love when you can also carry the theme of the shower into the food and drinks – think lemon and other delicious citrus to incorporate sunny vibes throughout!
7. Ready to Pop Baby Shower Theme
This one is all about fun, bright colors! Start here lovely invitation from Etsy, and your guests will know they’re in for a real party! Use rainbow colored balloons, signs, flowers, and even sequins to bring this shower to life. I can’t think of a better theme to have a super fun champagne toast – pop some bubbly (and sparkling cider) and pour over some pretty fruit popsicles – they’ll look festive and taste just as good!
