Nautical Baby Shower Ideas – Baby Shower Ideas 4U
When planning a baby shower, a theme always makes everything more fun. A nautical theme is a perfect theme for both a baby girl and a boy it can be so much fun to plan. The theme is also very popular so finding decorations and supplies is a breeze!
The looks on everyone’s faces when they see them all together can be delightful. Additionally, there is a nautical theme, anything related to water, so you have a lot of options at your disposal.
Nautical Baby Shower Invitations
When it comes to invitations, there are many choices. You can have anchors or life preservers, under water themes, even boats. You can look at the options and inspirations and choose the best of everything you have planned and which aspect of the sea you are focusing on. Use navy blue, white, and red colors to give a nautical feel.
Nautical Baby Shower Decorations
The easiest way to make sure you have a set theme is to stick to any blue, white, and red color schemes. You can add some pink for a baby girl to the decorations. Use ropes, anchors, and life preservers as part of your decorations. Hang a net and fill it with shells and other beach-themed items. Use blue and white striped tablecloths, have nautical-colored balloons, and serve food on nautical-themed plates.
These little boats are easy enough to make yourself from cardstock paper to use as cupcake toppers. You can also make origami sailboats and display them on the dessert table. This can be quite a challenge if you are not the crafty type but give it a try as it will look amazing for very little cost! There are so many cute little things that come with this theme that you shouldn’t have any trouble finding the right way to make it for your party.
Nautical Garland
Garland is essential to any party! This garland includes everything your future sailor will need. The garland includes anchors, life rings, and ship’s wheels. The garland includes twelve inches of extra thread on each side which makes hanging easy. You can use this piece to decorate a wall, dining table, diaper cake or as part of a photo backdrop.
Nautical Baby Shower Cake
Coming to the cake, you can make the cake different shades of blue in wavy shapes with fondant boats on the sides if you want to go with the boats. Also, you can have a blue cake with a string of colored flags around the edges and a boat on top. You can choose a toy boat and put it there if you want to save money. If you want it to be edible then you have to make it out of fondant and put it on top.
You can also go with a life preserver or anchor or both on the cake. You can do whatever you want and be as creative as you want. The cake is an important aspect so take the time to think about what the mommy-to-be likes best and what will look best in theme for the rest of the decor.

Nautical Baby Shower Food
For food, you can bake sailboat cookies and have chips with a small toy boat in the dip for the chips. You can make your own cookies with a sailboat cookie cutter. The cutest thing right now are little clear cups filled with blue Jell-O. Once the jelly is set, you can put boats in some and fish candies in others. It will be very lovely. If you want, you can put the candy in before it sets so the fish are also swimming in the Jell-O. You can also put a bowl of lifesavers on the table as a little fun too.

Nautical Baby Shower Games
If you want a game themed baby shower, I would suggest a little splash pool with floating ping pong balls. Whoever gets the most balls out of the pool using chopsticks within the allotted time wins the game. Adapting an existing game to your theme may be the best way to develop themed games.
Play “Name That Nautical Tune,” where you play a snippet of a popular sea shanty or maritime song and guests guess the name. Or, play “Pin the Anchor on the Ship,” where blindfolded guests take turns trying to pin an anchor to a paper ship.
The Make-a-Onesie station would be an option if you’re looking for an activity that involves sitting back and relaxing while you chat and drink your favorite beverage!
Printable games are also an option for you. You can print them yourself if that would be a better option. This is definitely a faster option if you’re running out of time! Search for ‘instant download’ printable. You can find many Ahoy / Nautical themed baby shower games online.
