A Little Birdie Told Me
A little birdie told us that this vintage-inspired party theme is worth tweeting about! This pink-and-blue party, submitted by Marissa of Paquenos Luxos to Kara’s Party Ideas, has touches of green from tiny topiaries, plus an abundance of rosebuds, patterns (stripes, polka dots, and gingham), and birds, of course! Cute white birdcages and wooden birdhouses, birdie cupcake toppers, felt bird decorations, and fondant birds on a cake complete this adorable shower theme.

Pink and White Roses
Nothing says “baby girl” more than a gorgeous pink-and-white rose themed shower, like this one from Pizzazzerie. The beautiful baby shower is filled with all things pink and white: striped decorations (like signs, straws, napkins), pink lemonade, white petit fours topped with pink roses, iced cookies, raspberry tarts, and gorgeous white flowers tied with pretty pink bows. Pink roses in striped boxes even make the perfect parting gifts.

Shabby Chic Tea Party
If your circle of friends includes tea drinkers, why not have a tea party baby shower? Andressa from Twinkle Twinkle Little Party submitted her lovely take for a shabby-chic tea party to Kara’s Party Ideas. The delicate take on a traditional idea combines rosebud prints and lace in soft, delicate colors, along with rag dolls, fancy teacups, and a beautiful pink rosette cake.

Honey Bee Bash
This Honey Bee Baby Shower theme from Lemonberry Moon is as sweet as honey! The party has a consistent yellow, white, and navy blue color theme (with small pops of pink) and bee details. Beehive chalk decals on mason jars, a beehive-shaped drink dispenser, bee-decorated desserts, and vases wrapped with yellow-and-black crepe paper send the theme buzzing over the top!

You Are My Sunshine
Your soon-to-be bundle of joy is already your little sunshine, so this theme from Lemonberry Moon captures that love. Yellow, white, and blue colors are used in this sunshine-related shower, and yellow “You are my sunshine” signs, adorable throw pillows with the song verses on them, and blue raindrop garlands can be kept as nursery decorations. Sun-shaped cookies and candy pops, plus rainbow Jell-O and fruit cups, add the final touches.

Parisian Sunflower
If you can’t bring your baby shower to Paris, why not bring Paris to your baby shower? This idea from Fete Fanatic is trés magnifique for a spring or summer shower. The yellow, black, and white theme comes together effortlessly with real sunflowers, polka-dot decorations, cute French-phrase cookies, French macarons and madeleines, and cake pops adorned with tiny sunflowers and Eiffel Towers.

Rustic Elegance
What we love about this white, pale blue, and brown rustic baby shower from The Little Umbrella (besides how gorgeous it looks) is that simple, nature-inspired décor makes a big impact. From the mason jars and vintage bottles that double as flower vases to wooden trays that hold sodas to intricately carved tree trunk decorations, everything about this shower is a study in understated and natural elegance.

Coffee, Cravings, and Cabernet
This food-themed baby shower pairs perfectly with the “bun in the oven” phrase — so it’s a match made in mommy heaven. Frog Prince Paperie created a mostly black-and-white baby shower centered on indulgent desserts (donuts, Oreos, carrot cake) best enjoyed with a good cup of coffee. A smashing coffee bar satisfies any coffee enthusiast, and salted caramel cupcakes are wrapped in a Starbucks-inspired cup. Centerpieces of white-and-black paper flowers in jars filled with coffee beans tie the theme together.

I Love Lucy Inspiration
If I Love Lucy was a staple in your television routine growing up, you’ll love this inspiring idea shared by Lily Shop. Using the classic sitcom as a guide, the shower came together with “I Love Olive” heart signs and cake toppers reminiscent of the TV show’s iconic sign. Decorations stuck with orange, red, and turquoise colors, and all the guests went home with adorable printed boxes filled with candies in the same colors.
