Hot Air Balloon Themed Baby Shower (Up Up and Away) – Baby Shower Ideas 4U
Take everyone for a beautiful journey among the clouds with a charming hot air balloon themed baby shower!
A hot air balloon theme for a baby shower is a unique and fun choice. By incorporating a color scheme that reflects the light and airy feel of hot air balloons, such as soft pastels or a combination of vibrant colors, your hot air balloon themed baby shower is sure to be successful!
Hot Air Balloon Baby Shower Invitation
For those thinking of making an invitation, start by making some circle shapes on a nice patterned cardstock paper to resemble a balloon and underneath it a basket shape. Cut it out and glue this cut out to another piece of paper that will make up the invitation. This way your invitations speak for themselves: We’re having a Hot Air Balloon themed baby shower hooray!
Hot Air Balloon Baby Shower Decorations
If your theme revolves around pastels there are soft rainbow pastel colored balloons. You can still keep background decorations and covers such as table covers white or very light blue because it resembles clouds or the sky. You can also use white balloons to resemble clouds around the main dessert table.
One of my favorite decorations I’ve found that I think would work perfectly for this theme is ‘upholstered’ helium balloons. You can use tulle or any thin decorative fabric to upholster the balloons.
Balloon Centerpieces
Make balloon centerpieces with mini hot air balloons. Use baskets, boxes or small containers as baskets. Add a balloon or paper lantern on top for a handmade hot air balloon centerpiece. You can place mini hot air balloons on guest tables.
Cloud Background
Set up a backdrop that resembles fluffy clouds to enhance the hot air balloon theme. Add large hot air balloon cutouts for a unique touch.
Hot Air Balloon Diaper Cake
Make a diaper cake in the shape of a hot air balloon. Use diapers, baby essentials, and ribbons to make this adorable centerpiece.
Balloon Release
Consider a balloon release at the end of the baby shower. Choose biodegradable balloons in colors that match the theme for an eco-friendly option.
