Celebrating the imminent arrival of a baby is always a big deal. Advice from experienced mums. Funny stories, games and of course the gifts! Such a joyous occasion deserves to be held in a beautiful space, so we’ve created stunning baby shower decorations available to hire for your special event. 

Choosing a theme

The first stage of planning your baby shower is choosing a theme. Lots of would-be mums struggle with this, but fear not, we have a range of baby shower decor ideas to choose from.

We can bearly wait

Teddy bear-themed baby showers always go down a treat. You can’t go wrong with a cute bear sat amongst balloons. If you’re feeling extra creative, why not opt for a giant teddy bear holding a set of helium-filled balloons? It’s a popular choice for many of our young mums-to-be. Personalise the balloons, or choose specific colours to identify your baby’s sex. 

Baby in bloom

A floral theme is perfect for a summer baby shower. Cute picnic baskets, floral-decorated sailboards and gingham accessories work well for outdoor events. Pair with a flower-themed balloon garland to show the world you’re about to blossom.

Cherry on top

If you’re looking for a light-hearted, playful theme for your baby shower, the cherry on top is an excellent choice. Combining red, pink and white balloons, a sailboard with a large bow and cherry featured desserts, this theme is perfect for younger mums with a cheeky streak. 

Table decorations

You’ve decided on a theme for your baby shower, now it’s time to decorate your table. If you’re planning a classy affair, you’ll need to think about centrepieces, charger plates, place names, candles and elegant cutlery.

If you prefer the DIY route, we do have affordable baby shower table decorations to choose from. You can decorate your tables with themed table runners, teddy bear centrepieces, colour-cordinated tableware and aesthetically pleasing sweet jars.

Things to do at your event

It’s not a baby shower without some light-hearted games. If you need a bit of inspiration, here are some fun activities to include in your event.

Spin the bottle

A twist on a classic, this idea combines a decision wheel, a picker in the shape of a baby bottle, and sections split into activities guests have to complete.  Spin the baby bottle and complete the task indicated by the picker. Tailor the sections to your group of guests. 

Nappy race

Known to get competitive, the nappy race is a crowd pleaser. Guests race against each other to see who’s able to put the nappy on the baby doll first. With a prize for the winner. You can up the ante by blindfolding your guests. 

Guess the flavour

If you’ve ever needed a reason to see what baby food tastes like, this is the game for you. Gather a random selection of baby food from your local store. Squeeze the contents into a sippy cup and watch as your guests squirm as they get to eat purified spaghetti bolognese.
