11 Jan Trending Baby Shower Themes of 2020
If you’re planning a baby shower the BEST place to start (besides a guest list) is usually with a theme. But how do you pick the right one? Maybe you go with the nursery theme, or take ideas from mom-to-be’s favorite things. Maybe you don’t have a clue where to start – that’s where we can help.
Here are some trending baby shower themes for 2020 that are sure to please!
Nature & Floral Theme
Whether you go minimalist using mostly white flowers and white décor with pops greenery, or really go for it covering everything in beautiful spring blooms, you can’t go wrong with a natural or floral theme. To achieve this look, opt for simple clean designs for linens, plates, glasses and serving trays and leave the décor to nature. Bring in lots of fresh flowers with plenty of greenery for accents. Think of replacing common décor items such as balloons, cake or cupcake toppers, table décor and others with fresh flowers or arrangements. Smaller floral arrangements in bud vases can easily be used to dress up any table at the party. And when the party is over, they can double as a beautiful take away for your guests. Flowers come in all colors, so whether you’re throwing a shower for a baby girl, a baby boy, or baby surprise, there’s a flower for the job!
Gender Neutral or Gender reveal Theme
Holding out to the very end to reveal the gender of your little one? Throw a gender-neutral baby shower, just remember these don’t have to be all yellow anymore. If you’re showering a friend, ask mom-to-be if she has a gender-neutral color preference. Use the mystery to your advantage when planning activities, like a guess the gender pool. Or maybe you want to do a gender reveal at your shower and share the good news with all your invited loved ones. You can really have fun with this by playing up the gender mystery in the décor, activities, even food and keep people guessing till the very end. Want a fun gender reveal that doubles as take aways for your guests? Consider a pinata filled with all pink or all blue items. Remember, it doesn’t have to be just candy in there, be creative.
Tropical Theme
Was mom-to-be “Born to be Wild?” Consider a tropical theme. Keep it simple with palms decorating everything or really go wild and throw in animal prints, too! When it comes to décor, think pineapples, palm trees, birds of paradise, grass skirts… even stuffed jungle animals. A tropical theme can be carried straight through to the food. A tropical fruit platter with pineapple, mango, strawberries and kiwis is a fun twist on a classic appetizer. Consider a pineapple upside-down cake or pineapple upside-down cupcakes; they are not only delicious, but look great, too! However you dress it up, its sure to be a wild time!
Vintage Tea Party Theme
A vintage tea party is a great idea for an afternoon shower, and a sure crowd-pleaser. Dress up your tables with lace linens, vintage inspired serving trays, vintage tea cups and don’t forget the doilies! Fill in your décor with fresh flowers, pearls and candles. Serve finger sandwiches, quiche or cookies along with your tea. Want to do a photo booth? Get white gloves and hats for props, vintage fans, pearl necklaces and of course a few feather boas. Your guests will have fun getting dolled up for a quick pic!
Luxury Theme
Want to shower mom-to-be in luxury one last time? A luxury shower can be posh and beautiful or it can be all about making mom-to-be feel luxurious. Covering surfaces in lush fabrics like velour and faux fur is an easy way to achieve this look. Layer textures with balloons, flowers and linens. Add in crystal or pearl elements and metallic tones till your shower is dripping in luxury! Consider creating a throne for the guest of honor, and don’t forget a comfy foot stool for her tired feet. Really want to shower mom-to-be? Skip the traditional shower and go for a day at the spa: Facials, mani-pedis, and finish it off with a maternity massage. She will feel showered in luxury, and hopefully a little more relaxed for her hard work ahead.
