From pastel pink color palettes to sweet ideas fit for a princess, you’re sure to find baby shower ideas for girls to elevate the look and experience of your event. Plus, you’ll discover a few digital invitations that might inspire your celebration.
1. Explore Popular Theme Ideas
One of the first steps in party planning is to consider popular baby shower themes. You can go with an all-pink theme and deck out the space in varying shades of this traditional hue. You could also opt for a particular motif, such as butterflies or ballet slippers or characters like Disney princesses. Other girl baby shower theme options include Candyland, filled with sweet and delicious treats, or a mermaid theme party with shimmering scales and a hint of magic.
2. Host an Alice in Wonderland Tea Party
Design: Sogi’s Honey Bakeshop
Invite idea: Tickled Pink Invitation
Plan a magical girl baby shower by going down the rabbit hole with an Alice in Wonderland–themed baby shower tea party. Drape the tables with lacy tablecloths and set out your finest china — or rent some from a local party supplies shop. Elevate the look with metallic table settings and glittery place cards. Add vases with fresh flowers like sunflowers, roses, and orchids.
Add whimsical decor like bunny figurines and stack several teacups or teapots to make eye-catching centerpieces. Adorn the chairs with streamers and balloons for added whimsy. To make it even more fun, get a few props like creative hats for guests to wear during your mad-hatter tea party celebration.
3. Decorate With Tulle, Ruffles, and Lace
Deck out the space with feminine fabrics like tulle, ruffles, and lace. Consider lace or ruffled tablecloths to set the scene for the event. Tulle can be used to dress up centerpieces or as accents to bundles of balloons. If the baby shower will be a sip-and-see party — or if other children are present — dress the children up in frilly (and comfy!) outfits with fun fabrics.
4. Host a Unicorn Brunch
Having a baby is a magical experience, and your baby shower should be just as enchanting. Plan a charming unicorn celebration to celebrate the arrival of a new baby girl. Decorate the entryway with a balloon arch in various pastel colors or bright pink hues. On the table, fill several mason jars with brightly colored candies and fill the jars with tissue paper and flowers to accent the look.
Use an iridescent tablecloth and add colorful Mylar balloons. Sprinkle the tables with rainbow confetti and serve unicorn cupcakes.
5. Take Inspiration from a Children’s Book or Nursery Rhyme
Design: itsibelli
Invite idea: Twinkle Moon Invitation
Get together with the mom-to-be and draw inspiration from her favorite children’s book or nursery rhyme. You can’t go wrong with a “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” baby shower theme featuring glittering starry skies and sweet moons.
“Where the Wild Things Are” is another fun and modern theme for a girl baby shower while “Charlotte’s Web” can inspire a farm-themed shower for a little cowgirl.
6. Go with a Storybook Fairytale Theme
Another cute baby shower theme is a fairy tale party. The star of the show is the little princess, but you’ll shower the mom-to-be with plenty of magic too. Host an enchanting party in a backyard garden or make it a winter wonderland to celebrate a princess who’s arriving in the wintertime. Glittering twigs, jewel-encrusted accents, and crowns will make up the heart of your decor for this baby girl shower idea.
7. Host a French-Inspired Fete
Design: Colin Cowie
Invite idea: Welcome to the World Invitation
Whether it’s a gender-neutral shower, a gender reveal party, or a girl baby shower, Paris is always a good idea. With this French–themed baby shower, you can decorate the room with miniature Eiffel towers and small cafe tables. Use a pink, white, and black color scheme to set the scene and add fresh greenery for a fragrant and whimsical vibe.
For your Parisian party theme, incorporate traditional party decorations like balloons and pair them with elegant serving ware like tiered pastry stands. Fill them with croissants, pain au chocolate, and macarons. For baby shower games, print trivia and bingo cards onto pink stationery with French motifs, such as the Arc de Triomphe, baguettes, cheese, and bicycles.
8. Build a Dessert Table That’s as Sweet as the Little Girl
Celebrate the expecting parents and their little girl with a dessert table fit for a princess. The parents-to-be and guests will love indulging in treats like donuts, cake pops, and cupcakes while playing silly games and chatting with loved ones. You can even build an ice cream bar complete with pink toppings like sprinkles, berries, and candies for the guest of honor.
9. Create a Floral Baby Shower
Design: Claudia Owen
Invite idea: Blossoming Flowers Invitation
Plan a boho-inspired baby shower for a little girl by focusing on the flowers. Decorate the space with fresh flowers, including pink favorites like daisies, tulips, and hydrangeas. Since flowers can be expensive, consider ordering them wholesale from a large supplier. Dress up the diaper cake by adding flower stems and blooms to the mix.
10. Fall for Your Little Pumpkin with an Autumn-Inspired Shower
If you’re planning a shower for a fall baby, host an autumn-themed celebration. You can DIY your own centerpieces by displaying pumpkins and other gourds along with leafy fall-colored wreaths. Serve mocktails like apple cider and fall punch with blackberries and seltzer water. For added fun, plan a hay ride or hire a small petting zoo for the day’s festivities. Ask guests to wear their best cowgirl hats and cowgirl boots to celebrate the little girl’s arrival.
