List of Baby Shower Themes - Over 60 Inspirational Themes to Celebrate Your Baby on the Way

Find the Perfect Baby Shower Theme to Welcome You Little One on the Way
We all have those moments, when you just can't think of a perfect theme for your upcoming baby shower, or need some inspiration to figure out the look for your best gal pal who's about to pop. Here's a huge list of over 60+ Baby Shower themes sure to get you inspired and ready to start planning that special celebration for the new mom-to-be:

A Star is Born - You can already tell your little one will head to the silver screen! Throw a Hollywood style baby shower fit for any new star. This theme is easily adaptable to the red carpet look, or vintage-style Hollywood glam.

Alphabet - An Alphabet shower is the perfect place to start off your parenting experience. Vintage wooden ABC blocks, or ABC cards are an easy start to a look for this shower. Or, if you'd like to be creative, assign your guests a letter (between A-Z) and have the bring a baby gift that starts with that letter.

Around the Clock Baby Shower - As a new parent will soon learn, babies need things around the clock, so assign an hour of the day (and night) to each guest and be ready when ever the little one may be up!

Baby on the Move - Babies these days are sure on the move, even well before they learn to crawl. This shower is the perfect way to help the new parents stock up on things that will keep the baby on the move-- from strollers to front packs, diaper bags to portable cribs. New parents may not want to slow down once the new one arrives, and this shower will keep them going!

Baby Sprinkle - A baby sprinkle is a term used for a "light" shower. It's perfect for the mom who's about to have her 2nd, 3rd or even 4th child, and needs a little celebration, or a great way to celebrate a new one for the mom who doesn't want a big "fuss." The theme can be used year round, but if you want to play on the word sprinkle, get out your umbrella and host this in the Spring when sprinkles may be in the forecast!

Blankies and Bedtime - This theme is the perfect lullaby for any baby to be. Have guests bring gifts associated with bedtime and the nursery like a soft blankie, traditional bedtime story, sweet teddy bear, bedding and more.

Bun in the Oven - Here's the perfect shower for those who like to bake. Spread out a bunch of home baked goodies and shower the mom-to-be and her bun in the oven with gifts, treats and all those things a new mom will need in the kitchen with her baby: bottles, food mashers, bibs, high chair, baby spoons, and more.

Bundle of Joy - The perfect baby shower theme for those cold months when everyone wants to bundle up. Have guests bring soft blankets, baby quilts, winter clothes, hats and more that will help keep the little one warm and toasty.

Free Printable Car or Truck Party Scavenger Hunt Game

Free Printable Car or Truck Party Scavenger Hunt Game by B.Nute productions
The kids are all rev'd up and ready to go at your Car or Truck Party-- now what do you do?? Well, have them run around and play a scavenger hunt game, of course!

Here's a free printable game, easy to set up and fun for the kids to play. The best is you can make this game as easy or hard as you like, depending on the kids ages. Here's how to play:

How to Play the Car or Truck Party Scavenger Hunt Game
1. Print out the scavenger hunt map cards, one per guest playing the game.
2. Print out the game cards (enough so that each child can find one card each.)
3. Game set up: Around your party space (yard, inside of house, park or where ever the party is being held), hide the game cards. Hide all "Flat Tire" cards together (one card for each guest). Continue to hide each card type in a different location. Follow the map to decide which order the cards should be hidden. (For instance, first hide the Flat Tire cards, then hide the Fill 'er Up cards, then the Rest area cards, so that the kids naturally find the cards in order they appear on the road of the map. They can find cards out of order if they'd like too.)
4. Once the cards are hidden, and the guests have arrived and are ready to play the game, hand out the maps to each child. Now, send them off to hunt for the cards!

A Vintage Truck Party - Ideas Galore!

A Vintage Truck Party Invitation and Inspiration by B.Nute productions
A good ol'fashioned Truck Party is the perfect theme for your boy's birthday. An old truck, some vintage signage, some toy trucks to play with... this party can be as simple or as elaborate as you'd like! I've been gathering all sorts of party ideas for your Vintage-style Truck Party over on Pinterest, so be sure be sure to head over and check them out... but in the meantime, here are some high lights.

Paper Goods

Truck Party Printable Paper Goods by B.Nute productions
Head on over to my Etsy shop for the full suite of Truck Party printables-- from invitation to thank you, this theme is covered with vintage-style charm!

Decoration Ideas

A classic truck parked prominently near your party space would be a perfect greeting for guests to your truck party.... but trucks can be hard to come by. If you do have access to a truck here are ways to incorporate it into the party:
  • Use the truck hatch as a comfy seating area. Fill with pillows, blankets, and maybe a few books or toys.
  • Use as a prop to take party pics.
  • Pull down the hatch and fill the rear of the truck with your buffet of food.
  • Take the party on a "truck" ride... like a hay ride.
Here are some other ideas as well:
  • Vintage Gas Station tin signs
  • Old Toy Trucks
  • Toy (or real) Gas Pump
  • Old Posters of Gas Stations or Truck Stops or Highway signage
Menu Ideas
Design your food area to be a truck spot, where guests can "filler on up" till their ready to roll again! Make signs like a truck stop, with an area to fill up on gas (liquids), oil (munchies), tune up (food).

Game Ideas

There's nothing like a cut out cardboard box, designed to be a truck to some fun relay races. Or, race toy trucks (from match box size to larger trucks depending on age.) Another option is for the kids to create their own highway or roads and rest stops with lots of sidewalk chalk and some cement. Lastly, a sandbox filled with toy trucks is a great play area for young ones.

I Scream, You Scream, New Ice Cream Invitation!

Ice Cream Party Invitation (Cone or Ice Cream Truck) by B.Nute productions on Etsy
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Admittedly, ice cream is my favorite dessert-- so I can't imagine a better party than an Ice Cream Party.

I created these new invites for a customer who wanted an ice cream truck invitation... I loved the idea, but also thought it may be nice for those that just love a large cone to give that option as well! Head on over to my shop, and I'll scoop one of these invites up for you, whichever flavor you like!

Looking for some Ice Cream Party ideas? It must be the time of year for ice cream, because in the party blog land, there's been several wonderful posts for Ice Cream Party ideas. Here's a few of those links I thought I'd pass on:



Enjoy!
