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.
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.
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.
