Let’s dive into some unforgettable ideas!
1) Rubber Ducky Baby Shower
Rubber duckies are classic and adorable! Fill the space with blue and yellow balloons, bubbles, and try some gorgeous custom sugar cookies like these from 6bscreations. Looking for a cute tag-line for your event? How about ‘rub-a-dub-dub a new baby to love’? This theme is perfectly gender-neutral and brings instant charm to your party.
2) Peter Rabbit Baby Shower Theme
Soft blues, whites, and greens paired with carrots and Peter Rabbit illustrations create a timeless look. Add garden-inspired centerpieces to make it even sweeter for a baby of either gender. After all, a baby is the beginning of a most beautiful story!
3) Woodland Animal Themed Shower
Think foxes, owls, and deer galore! Create a forest-like vibe with greenery, wooden accents, and earthy tones. From cute mushroom toadstools to lush evergreen trees, there are so many different directions you can take to decorate for a woodland-themed baby shower. Stick with neutrals like beige and brown for your color scheme, or add sprinkles of both blue and pink to keep it gender neutral.
4) Aloha Baby
Bright florals, palm leaves, and fruity drinks make this ‘Aloha Baby’ tropical theme a standout. Incorporate pineapples as centerpieces, leis for guests, and a sign that says “Aloha Baby.” The sunny vibes make it gender-neutral and totally Instagram-worthy.
5) Modern Minimalist Baby Shower
For a modern, minimalist shower, think clean lines, geometric shapes, eucalyptus garlands, and wooden details. Stick to a neutral palette of whites, greens, and soft grays. This sleek, sophisticated theme is perfect if you’re not into the traditional pastel baby showers.
6) Disco Baby
Baby, it’s a disco party! Add disco balls, metallic streamers, and a fun dance playlist. Stick with silver, white, and pops of neon to keep it playful and gender-neutral.

With a tag line like ‘sparkling sprinkle’ you can’t go wrong with this cute theme.
7) Cactus Baby Shower
Cacti and succulents make the perfect décor—think potted succulents as centerpieces and prickly pear-themed snacks. You can see in this photo by the wonderfully talented stillwellsweets that you can use colors like pink to accent the cactus theme. For a neutral shower, use shades of green paired with peach or mustard to keep it trendy and versatile for any baby.
8) Let’s Taco Bout a Baby
It’s fiesta time! Think taco bars, colorful papel picado banners, and mini piñatas as favors. The lively colors and delicious food options make this a great choice for everyone to enjoy, regardless of the baby’s gender. Want to kick things up a notch? Instead of formal catering, hire a food truck to serve tacos at your event. Your guests will never forget it!
