9 Unique Baby Shower Decorations for Your Party
A baby shower is a celebration of a new little person, and every party needs decorations! We recommend choosing a theme to help make shopping for your baby shower decorations an easier process. This could be a favourite children’s book, a colour palette, or even baby animals.
If you are planning a baby shower for a boy, girl, or a surprise, we’ve done the hard work for you! Here are 9 of the most unique baby shower decoration ideas for your party:
1. Beatrix Welcome Baby Shower Sign
Books are an important part of childhood, and some of the classics have stood the test of time. A bookish baby shower theme will be nostalgic for guests, and one of the old favourites has always been Peter Rabbit. A personalised Beatrix Welcome Baby Shower Sign is a vintage baby shower decoration idea that would suit either a boy or a girl.
This is a digital file so you will need to print it yourself, but the result will be worth it. Prices start at $10 and the sign will feature the mother’s name, and date, and of course a beautiful image of the cheekiest rabbit around. This could even be saved as a memento of the day. To continue the bookish theme you may also like the Storybook Mum to Be Badge.
2. Rose Gold Metallic Balloons
Rose gold is one of the most popular party colour schemes as it is a modern, sophisticated, and fresh metallic. You can get the look at your baby shower by adding subtle touches of rose gold. Balloons will transform any space into a party venue, and you can start your decorating with this set of 30 Rose Gold and Confetti Balloons.
Fill them with helium and place them inside, or outside for instant glam. 20 of the balloons are filled with confetti, and the other is rose gold latex. They’re reasonably-priced, so this is a cost-effective option and will work well with either neutral or bright colours.
3. Pink Balloon Garland
If you are willing to share the gender of your little one, why not have fun with shades of pink or blue? If you are looking for baby shower decoration ideas for a girl, we can’t go past the Pink Balloon Garland Kit.
There are 75 balloons in a mix of colours and sizes, making the perfect backdrop for your photographs. The kit comes with gold string, tape, and glue dots for easy assembly. This is also reasonably-priced and will work well against a white wall, or in a garden setting. Balloon garlands are available in other varieties such as blue for a boy’s baby shower theme.
4. Woodland Creatures Tableware Bundle
Newborns are cute and cuddly, and an adorable animal theme will leave your baby shower guests smiling. While the Woodland Creatures Tableware Bundle can be neutral, it is one of our favourite baby shower decoration ideas for boys.
This set comes with cups, plates, and napkins to cater for 32 guests. It features sweet cartoon baby animals including a fox, deer, and bear. Parents-to-be might even like to continue this trend when decorating the nursery.
5. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Cake Topper
When you are pregnant you may not be able to have a glass of wine, but you can have a piece of cake! Every baby shower needs something sweet to nibble on, but if you aren’t up to the challenge of cake decorating, a simple cake topper will be enough.
The Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Cake Topper is a neutral choice, and if your baby shower is doubling as a gender reveal party you can use “Twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are?” as your theme. Complement the cake topper with the Large Moon Foil Balloons.
6. Personalised Floral Bottle Labels
Personalised items will add a touch of individuality to your baby shower, and with the Personalised Floral Bottle Labels, water will look prettier than it ever has before.
For $12 plus postage, you will receive 10 handmade gloss sticker labels which can be used on water bottles of a standard 500ml size. Each sticker can have the mother’s name, and date included. The softly sweet garden theme is ideal for a summery afternoon.
7. Rainbow Felt Fabric Bunting
Add a burst of colour to your baby shower with the Rainbow Felt Fabric Bunting. This is easy to hang and the fabric design means it can be reused. Multicolour decorations are bright and happy and are gender-neutral. In total there are 24 flags on 2 strings, and they make for a very affordable splash of colour.
Ribbon and a needle are included as you will need to thread this yourself, but it is a simple DIY project. Continue the rainbow baby shower theme by hanging the Mkono Wool Felt Ball Garland.
9. Recosis Paper Pom Poms
Paper pom-poms are a twist on balloons, but you won’t have to turn blue trying to blow them up. The Recosis Paper Pom Poms have a soft, textured appearance. In this baby shower decoration idea for girls, you will get a mix of 12 white, hot pink, and pink pom poms and honeycomb balls, in a variety of sizes.
The tissue paper fans out, resulting in flower-like decorations, while the honeycomb balls have a disco feel. You can hang them just about anywhere, inside or out. Think ceilings, doors, trees, or your verandah.
