Winter baby shower themes
Choosing a theme helps to tie your whole event together. Once you have a central theme in mind then it helps you to choose colours, food, table settings and balloons.
A little snowflake
Celebrate your tiny bundle of joy with this sweet little snowflake theme. This theme does not have to tie in with Christmas at all, but you could add Christmas trees and some sophisticated pine foliage as decorations if you choose to.
White balloons work beautifully alongside silver snowflakes to make these theme really pop.
I love this pink little snowflake display, featuring lots of silver and glitter.
Baby it’s cold outside
This lovely theme is a nod to the popular Christmas song. You can have so much fun with it, and make it as playfully festive as you want, or tone it right down and make it super sophisticated.
Add polar bears, instead of teddy bears, to your baby shower decorations for a fun touch. Plus have snowflakes and icicles too.
I love this sweet Baby it’s cold outside display featuring gold balloons for eye-catching colour and the gorgeous festive house centrepiece.
Sweet florals
It’s cold outside but the flowers can still bloom at your baby shower!
A floral winter shower combines the romance of seasonal blooms with the coziness of the colder months. This theme softens the chill of winter with lush arrangements of roses, and winter greenery like eucalyptus or pine. Think blush pinks, deep burgundies, creamy whites, and muted greens layered against cozy textures like velvet table runners or linen napkins.
Plus just look at the little vintage floral pram in the backdrop in the example above, I love this tea party vintage touch.
The centerpiece of this look is the floral arrangements themselves: oversized bouquets spilling with blooms and berries, accented with pinecones or frosted branches to keep the winter feel. To enhance the seasonal mood, candles or twinkling fairy lights can be scattered along the tables, casting a warm glow against the cool outdoor weather.
This theme would be perfect for a “Winter Garden” shower brunch, with guests sipping sparkling rosé or herbal teas among the flowers. A cake decorated with edible pressed flowers or sugar florals would tie the whole aesthetic together.
Frosty blue
If you’re planning a winter baby shower, then an elegant frosty-blue theme is the perfect inspiration. Pair icy blues with white and shimmering metallics to create a scene straight out of a winter wonderland.
This theme would pair beautifully with a menu of warm comfort foods, hot cocoa or mulled cider, and maybe even snowflake-shaped cookies for a sweet finishing touch.
Lil gingerbread man
If you would like to add a playful twist to your baby shower then a gingerbread man is the perfect character to bring the fun.
This Lil Gingerbread Man display features all the pretty Christmas colours – red, green and silver – plus some cheerful gingerbread man balloons.
You can also bring the theme into the cookies and cake toppers as well – with smiling gingerbread men scattered throughout the party decor.
Add a cool gingerbread house too for a really fun element to your food table.
All white
If you want something sleek and stylish then go with an all white baby shower theme to celebrate the snow.
Use shiny white balloons and pretty white flowers to bring it all together. Plus add gorgeous twinkly fairy lights too.
Candyland
One of the most exciting parts of the Christmas season for people of any age is all the candy. A fun candyland theme has so many opportunities for exciting decor.
Have cool candy cane balloons and cookies shaped as candy canes and delicious festive candies.
I love all the bright colours of this pretty festive backdrop.
A little bundle of joy is on the way
A baby is a gift, so why not celebrate that with the giving spirit of the festive season! A little bundle of joy is on the way theme is a great choice if you want Christmas to be a really big part of your decor.
Think trees, stockings, cookies shaped like Christmas gifts and festive garlands.
I love these adorable Christmas cookies, which really showcase the theme and its possibilities so well.
Santa Baby
Another shower theme that is inspired by a song – and such a great pun if you want to have a play on words for your party theme!
I love how these Santa Baby cookies use the colour pink. It just shows you do not have to stick with the traditional Christmas and winter colours of blues, greens and reds when styling your baby shower.
Rustic cabin
For a cosy, laid-back vibe, go rustic.
Think plaid blankets, wooden accents, lanterns, and pine branches. Serve comfort foods like warm cider, mini pies, and hearty brunch dishes. This theme feels like gathering at a snowy cabin retreat.
Snowflake glam
If you love sparkle, this is the theme for you. Decorate with metallics – silver, gold, or rose gold – and glittering snowflakes. Sequin table runners, crystal centerpieces, and twinkling fairy lights create a glamorous winter party atmosphere.
Add a tiered cake dusted with edible glitter for extra dazzle.
Evergreen forest
Bring the outdoors in with fresh greenery and natural textures. Evergreen garlands, pinecones, wood slices, and candles create a woodland feel.
A palette of deep greens, whites, and browns makes the decor cozy and nature-inspired. Perfect for those who prefer earthy elegance over glitz.
Winter teddy bear
For a playful, baby-focused twist, add teddy bears in winter scarves and hats to the décor.
Pair soft pastel colors (baby blue, blush, cream) with snowy accents like frosted balloons and cotton “snow.”
A hot chocolate bar with marshmallows adds a whimsical touch kids and adults alike will love.
Winter brunch
Celebrate with cosy comfort foods: pancakes, waffles, pastries, and plenty of coffee or cocoa.
Decor can stay simple – warm neutrals, candles, and seasonal florals. Personalise menus or add mimosa/mocktail bars for a chic but relaxed gathering.
Winter baby shower ideas
Just to help you along the way with your planning, here are some ideas you could incorporate into your baby shower to bring your winter party to life.
Christmas decor
Winter is such a fabulous time of year for a baby shower because there are so many elements of Christmas you can incorporate into your decorations.
Try adding little decorative Christmas trees – or just simple green pine trees for something more elegant – to your centrepieces.
Fairy lights add beauty and a wow factor to any party, so string them up wherever you can to set a pretty celebratory vibe to your venue.
Wintry sweet treats
When it comes to your food table you can go all out with snowflakes adorning the cake and cookies shaped like baubles, Christmas trees and holly. A reindeer topper can also work really well with your cake or cupcakes too.
Add glitter, sparkles and candies to the food table for more festive joy.
Fun festive mocktails
As winter is usually a time for celebration why not serve from bright festive mocktails? Look for recipes that feature bright red results for drinks that add to the decor in the room.
I have a whole list of Christmas mocktails for pregnant ladies here.
Hot cocoa
Try a hot cocoa stand, which is sure to be a real talking point with your guests. Add marshmallows and candy canes too to make it really fun.
A sweet welcome sign
Your food table or a balloon or floral display is a great opportunity to bring your theme together, but you can also add a sign to welcome your guests to the venue.
This sweet woodland animal one is perfect if you want a winter forest theme for your shower.
