So Sweet, So Glam: Pink and Gold Baby Shower Ideas

Sometimes all you need for your baby shower theme is a good color scheme, and we love a pink and gold color combo to add a little glamour to your little one’s first soirée. (Even if they’ll be attending said soirée in utero.) While a pink and gold baby shower is a popular choice for a baby girl shower, this color scheme can work for any baby shower.

As gender norms become less rigid, progressive parents are embracing this scheme for their baby boys, and it can even be a fun red herring (or should we say pink herring?) for a gender reveal party. It’s an especially fitting choice when the parents-to-be love a glamorous gold accent — after all, a baby shower party is as much a celebration of the parents as it is the baby.

To help you plan your pre-baby bash, we’ve rounded up all our favorite on-theme party ideas. Discover beautiful baby shower invitations, party decorations, menu suggestions, and more. Here are our pink and gold baby shower ideas to inspire your celebration.

Pink and Gold Baby Shower Invitations

Your invitations are your party’s first impression. Establish your color scheme from the outset with one of these pink and gold baby shower invites. All of these designs are digital invitations, so you can customize, send, and track RSVPs with just a few clicks.

Intricate Botanical Invitation

Design: Lissa Anglin

Perfect for a girl baby shower, this invite is overflowing with soft, feminine romance. The gold floral frame sits on a blush pink background and leaves room for your event details in the center.

Playful Pumpkin Invitations

Design: Signature Greenvelope

The pink and gold on this adorable invitation are paired with muted earth tones to bring a subtlety to both this design and your color scheme. The pumpkin shape creates a storybook feel, and the “Little Pumpkin” text lets everyone know your little one is already loved.

Baby Love Invitations

Design: Laura Bolter Design

This playful invite will let guests know you’re not taking your glamorous theme too seriously. Its message, “Baby Love,” is written in gold balloon lettering, and the design features two shades of pink — a classic baby girl pink and a hot pink — to add a little flexibility to your color scheme.

Boho Baby Invitations

Design: Signature Greenvelope

If your vision of a pink and gold baby shower is really more of a gold and pink baby shower, then this bohemian invite is for you. The background makes it clear that earthy bohemian gold is the main focus and the “Oh Baby” text adds a touch of light pink.

Rose Gold Wreath Invitations

Design: Hooray Creative

For a pink gold that seamlessly blends with the blush pink background, this baby shower invitation features free-flowing watercolor paired with rose gold foil accents. It’s a modern interpretation of feminine florals.

Pink and Gold Baby Shower Decor

Not only is pink and gold a classy baby shower theme, it’s also infinitely reusable. Your party decorations can easily transform into decor for a first birthday party, a Valentine’s Day party, or a friend’s bridal shower. Don’t be afraid to invest in some adorable shower decor, including:

• A baby shower banner: For the most reusable banner, keep it simple with something that says “Congratulations!” For something more specific, choose an “Oh Baby!” or “Little Princess” banner, or use a printable banner template to spell out the baby-to-be’s name.
• Gold confetti: Sprinkle it everywhere! A dusting of gold confetti on all your party tables will instantly make the place feel festive.
• Baby shower centerpieces: If you plan to serve food, place a centerpiece on each table. A mason jar full of baby’s breath or pink peonies works well, but you can also choose an out-of-the-box centerpiece, like a multi-tier cupcake stand, a sugar cookie bouquet, or a DIY diaper bouquet.
• Table decor: Draw the eye to your tables of food, games, and gifts by decorating them with pink and gold polkadot tablecloths with matching napkins and tableware, including gold plastic silverware and paper plates. (The round gold plates will mirror the polkadots.)
• A reusable cake topper: A multi-tier cake always makes a statement. Make yours all about the baby by ordering a personalized cake topper that spells out the little one’s name in gold cursive font. You can use it at all their future birthday parties.
• Baby shower balloons: Tie up pink and gold balloons all around your party, or make a statement with a DIY balloon garland.
• Flowers: Whether you scatter them on tables, display them in vases, use them to top your cake, or turn them into a natural wreath, flowers always make a statement — and it just so happens that many of them are pink. Use a gold glitter spray on pink roses for an ultra-elegant look.
• Garland: You can find plenty of festive, baby shower garlands on Amazon, but it’s also easy to DIY this decor. Try making paper chain garland like you used to make in school, or use a needle and yarn to string up pink pom poms.

Pink and Gold Baby Shower Games and Activities

If your shower includes long-time friends, then food and drinks may be all the activity you need. But if you’re bringing together friends and family from a variety of social circles, then baby shower games make an excellent icebreaker. 

Here are a variety of activities — some to suit a traditional shower and others that will be a better fit for a less conventional co-ed bash:

• Set up a photo booth: Use some of your party decorations to heavily decorate one wall, and let it serve as the backdrop for your DIY photo booth. Include a few shower-themed photo props in your party supplies.
• Decorate onesies: Set up a craft table with some plain, blush pink onesies and a few dark pink and gold fabric markers. Encourage each of your guests to decorate a onesie before the day is over, and your baby will end up with a one-of-a-kind wardrobe.
• Chug pink beer from baby bottles: Yes, pink beer is a thing! Add it to your shopping list, pour it into baby bottles, and see which of your party guests can empty their bottle the fastest.
• Bob for pink and gold pacifiers: Instead of bobbing for apples, fill a gold, metal party tub (or a newborn bathtub) with pink pacifiers and see which of your guests can get the most pacifiers in under a minute.
• Play “She’s About to Pop” balloon darts: Balloon darts has become a popular gender reveal party game, but you can create a baby shower-inspired version by placing gold confetti balloons on a dart board. Make it extra festive by painting a pink silhouette of a pregnant mama on the board (the balloon will serve as the belly). Let guests throw darts at the balloon and try to pop it. If someone succeeds, confetti will fly! You can then add a fresh balloon to keep the game going.

Pink and Gold Baby Shower Favors

Your baby shower will be a day to remember. But if you want to give guests something special to remember it by, try one of these party favors:

• Mini champagne bottles: Everyone can use their bottle to toast to your new arrival after the birth announcement. Stick with the pink and gold theme by choosing a sparkling rosĂ© and adding a gold sticker to the bottle with your baby’s name and due date. (Babies have a way of coming whenever they want, so you can keep the date open by mentioning the month or season instead of the exact day.)
• Pink cake pops: A sweet farewell for party guests, you can buy or make cake pops with pink frosting and a dusting of gold sprinkles.
• Decorated sugar cookies: Another take-home treat that you can buy or make, decorated shower-themed sugar cookies will leave a glamorous impression with pink and gold frosting.

Think Pink (and Gold) for Your Baby Shower

Your pink and gold baby shower will serve as a soft yet glamorous welcome to the world for your little one! We love a good color scheme because it gives you direction for your party decor yet it still leaves a lot of wiggle room in your party planning.

You can layer your pink and gold theme with other gender-neutral baby shower themes from a garden party to a boho bash to an ice cream social. Plus, you can incorporate more cute baby shower ideas like pizza making and pampering. Whatever type of shower you’re dreaming of, we’re here to help with all the baby shower ideas you can handle.
