13 Beautiful Baby Shower Ideas For Girls

Are you planning a baby shower for a mama-to-be with a baby girl on the way? We at Peerspace are glad to hear it. Here are 13 beautiful baby shower ideas for girls!

1. Consider colors other than pink

The classic color scheme of baby showers for girls is pink, pink, and more pink. This is fine, but there are lots of other color schemes that are equally pretty and less expected, such as mint and gray or lavender, white, and gold. Check out this article from Martha Stewart for more color scheme suggestions.

2. But embrace pink if that’s what you love

On the other hand, if you’re dead set on all pink as the color scheme for your baby shower, you might as well have fun with it and go all out!

And picking a pink event venue for the baby shower can help you do that. We’d recommend renting a Peerspace venue, like:

• This pink paradise in Detroit, Michigan
• This pretty in pink content space in Philadelphia, or
• This downtown pink palace in Augusta, Georgia

Any of these would be extremely cute and totally fitting for an all-pink baby shower!

3. Remember that you don’t have to break the bank

If you’re worried about having a small budget for the baby shower you’re planning, never fear! There are tons of decor, activity, and food-related ideas that won’t cost you much money at all.

If this is a concern for you, Crafty Morning has a bunch of baby girl shower ideas on a budget that will help you figure out what works for you.

Stay on top of your planning by utilizing our handy baby shower checklist!

4. Princess-themed baby shower

A classic, ultra-girly, princess-themed baby shower is one of our favorite baby shower ideas for girls, especially if the mama-to-be is a total girly girl herself! For decor, you’ll find tons of princess-themed items out there, from banners to cake toppers to signs and more.

You can serve sandwiches cut out with cookie cutters to look like crowns and add little crown cupcake toppers to the cupcakes you serve. In terms of color scheme, purple is a natural choice for this theme, along with regal colors like gold and silver.

5. Female superhero-themed baby shower

Whether you’re a fan of Wonder Woman, Storm, Batgirl, or any other female superheroes, they’re a fantastic source of inspiration for your baby shower. You can pick just your favorite superhero or pay homage to a few. This idea is especially great because it’s all about girl power!

6. Have a tea party

Turn the baby shower you’re planning into a tea party to pamper yourself and your guests with tons of delicious, bite-size snacks and beverages. The decor opportunities here involve lots of pastels, lace doilies and tablecloths, antique teacups and teapots, and everything vintage and dainty.

Plum Deluxe has tons of recommendations for this theme, including replacing the usual, “often tasteless” baby shower games with a deck of interesting conversation starter cards.

7. Mermaid-themed baby shower

If the mama-to-be is a fan of the Little Mermaid or simply loves to swim and spend time in the ocean, a mermaid-themed baby shower will be the right choice.

The color scheme will naturally be shades of blue, green, and purple. The decor can involve undersea creatures, bubbles, and other watery features, as well as images of mermaids themselves. For food, serve thematic treats like candy seashells and croissant-based crab sandwiches.

8. Ballerina baby shower

Here’s another extra girly baby shower idea for girls! For this theme, Baby Shower Ideas suggests going all-out with the cake: consider “a tiered all pink fondant cake with a tutu around it and at the top, ballet slippers or you can have a ballerina dancing on top of it.”

They also suggest using tulle to evoke the look of a ballerina’s tutu, including as a table covering and skirting. And the color scheme would naturally be lots of pale pink!

9. Unicorn baby shower

Everyone loves unicorns, and this theme is a great idea for a baby shower. In fact, it also works equally well for decorating a nursery (so a lot of your decor could end up doing double duty). For more tips on how to execute this theme, take a look at this list of unicorn baby shower ideas from Mighty Moms.

10. Include a pastel balloon wall

This is a dramatic, beautiful decor feature that’s also pretty easy to execute! In their article on the subject, Happiest Baby writes, “Balloon art and structures are so on-trend at the moment, they’re practically a must for any baby shower or party. Create an entire wall of pastels with gold or silver accents for a dreamy backdrop that will take any girl-mama’s big day to the next level.”

11. Alice in Wonderland baby shower

Maybe the mama-to-be is a big reader and loved reading Alice in Wonderland as a kid or loves the classic Disney movie? If so, then this is definitely a baby shower theme to consider.

For this theme, the Greenspring Home suggests “shower invitations with a picture of a pregnant Queen of Hearts or a ‘Don’t be late for this important date’ headline”. Don’t forget “cupcakes, biscuits, and muffins labeled with ‘eat me’ plus water bottles marked with ‘drink me.’” What a cool and creative concept!

12. Spring flowers baby shower

Flowers are always a lovely thematic choice, and if you’re planning a baby shower for the spring, they’re extra fitting. Whether you go with real flowers or convincing fake ones, decorate with spring flowers specifically, such as tulips, daffodils, daisies, and crocuses!

You might even want to rent a flower shop for the day, like this eclectic one in Chicago. It’s a “vintage, bohemian flower shop with exposed brick walls and tall ceilings.”

13. Set up a flower crown-making station

Keeping your guests occupied and engaged is a must for a truly successful baby shower where all the guests leave your event happy. That’s why we’d strongly suggest planning some activities for your gathering. And in this vein, one of our favorite baby shower ideas for girls has to be a DIY flower crown-making station.

Wondering how you might set this up? Check out Gathered Living’s guide to creating your own DIY flower crown bar! If you’re planning on having activities at the baby shower, renting an event venue with plenty of space to work with is a great idea.

For example, this light and airy plant shop in Louisville, Kentucky. It would be the ideal setting for making flower crowns. Not to mention that one of the happy reviewers even commented, “Absolutely beautiful space for a baby shower! Had everything we needed to set up and very clean and spacious! Every single guest complimented the space as well!”
