Our Little Sunshine Baby Shower
Your little ray of light is coming into the world when the sun is out and things are hot, making a little sunshine baby shower a fantastic choice! Decorations almost choose themselves: yellow balloons, flowers, and table dressings are a natural and cheerful extension of the theme.
County Fair
Nothing says summer like the county fair, and the great thing about this theme is you can take it in any direction you please. You can keep it simple with fair-themed decorations or go all-out with a bouncy house or petting zoo. Set up carnival games as a finishing touch that ensures all will have a great time!
Baby Shower By The Pool
The great thing about a pool party baby shower is loved ones can let their hair down and make a splash between food and games. Even better? The mom-to-be has an excuse to take some pressure off and float in the water if she chooses! Plus, who doesn’t love an excuse to throw a pool party?
Life’s A Picnic
The baby will be the only thing cuter than a picnic-themed baby shower with red and white checkered tablecloths, wicker baskets, and perfectly-presented snacks. Scout a park with tables and shaded areas so your guests can sit on a bench or go fully authentic and eat on a blanket. The most fun part of this summer baby shower theme is making it as fancy or rustic as you want!
Boats And Babies
Get the yacht rock ready! As long as momma feels up to rocking on the water, hosting a boat-themed baby shower on a boat is an out-of-the-box way to treat your guests to a fun time. To make serving food easier, invest in catering or make your shower potluck style.
Red, White & Blue Baby Shower
There’s no better theme for a summer baby shower, especially in late June or early July, for people who love the land of the free. Ask your guests to don their favorite red, white, and blue clothes, decorate in stars and stripes, and grab some fireworks (just keep it safe)!
Movies Under The Stars
Beat the heat with a dusk baby shower outdoors, complete with a projector, screen, comfy chairs, and popcorn. Whether your guests sit down and are captivated by a movie or you just have some playing in the background, movies under the stars capture the timelessness of drive-in summer cinema while avoiding the summer sun. Bonus tip: create a short movie of precious moments of you and your loved ones to celebrate everyone supporting you and your little ray of sunshine!
