Top 10 Tuesdays: Totally Unique Baby Shower Ideas for Baby Boys
We’re Baaack!
On our last post we collected our favorite baby shower ideas for baby girls. We loved the concept of planning themed baby showers that we thought we’d give it one more go with baby boys. There are just so many creative ideas to choose from it was difficult to keep it at only 10, but we did it!
We’re so anxious to share with you what we put together so without further ado…
1 – CIRCUS CIRCUS
This idea is so much fun and allows you to get very creative with it. It’s so colorful and there are so many game ideas it’s hard to contain oneself with the entertainment! If you think outside the box you will see there are a hundred and one ways to make this theme your own. For favors our favorite things are the Big Top Themed boxes that you can fill with peanuts or animal crackers to stay within the theme.
2 – AT THE FARM
Bring a little country nostalgia to your baby shower with this adorable and simple theme. It’s great especially in the summer and it’s so easy, you can add any agricultural element to make every small detail count! Sunflowers, haystacks, produce, gingham, burlap and farm animals are elements that you can play with to make it feel like a real barnyard bash. For favors our top picks are personalized burlap bags that can be filled with candy corn, the egg shaped kitchen timer, or mini picnic baskets that you can fill with treats and use red or gingham patterned fabric as an additional decorative element.
3 – JUNGLE SAFARI
Just like the barnyard theme, the Jungle Safari lets you get wild! Bring in exotic animals to be the centers of attention, make the party feel like your guests are going on a jungle excursion and let everyone’s imagination roam free. For favors we suggest our King of the Jungle Lion Candle, exotic animal brownie pops, or the animal friends frame.
4 – RUBBER DUCKY
Nothing is as synonymous with babies quite like the ubiquitous rubber ducky. We see a rubber ducky and immediately we think, “Awww.” Bring this sweetness to your baby shower and get creative with blues, yellows, towels, and bubbles! And all these elements are so easy to find that you can throw a great party even if you’re on a tight budget. For favors our favorite choices are our rubber ducky soap that comes prepackaged and ready for display or our rubber ducky candle.
5 – NAUTICAL
The nautical baby shower theme is so unique because very few things represent masculinity the same way the open ocean does. Use elements like anchors, rope, boats, nets, and fish to make your party décor a hit. There are so many adorable ways to bring this theme to life you’ll be unstoppable and your guests will love it. For Favors we loved the elegant sailboat tea light holders, or the anchor shaped bookmark.
6 – MONKEY BUSINESS
For some reason, everyone loves monkeys. They’re cute, they’re silly, they’re loud, but most of all monkeys know how to have fun. It’s their “monkey business!” Bring this silliness to your own baby shower with adorable swinging monkeys, palm trees, bananas, and vines hanging from your ceiling. You’ll find yourself “monkeying around!” For favors we have the cutest monkey candle, monkey place card holders that your guests can take home and place their favorite photos of the shower on display, or the personalized monkey design jelly bean pack that’s easy and ready to go.
7 – LITTLE MAN
One of the absolutely most popular themes for baby showers or even children’s parties is the “Little Man” theme. Hands down. Everyone seems to gravitate toward this theme because….well, how can you not! Every baby boy will eventually grow into a gentleman, so why not use these elements for a baby boy that’s on the way. Mustaches, top hats, bow ties, and glasses are all so playful and whimsical it will be a hit no matter what you do. Our favorite favors for this theme are the personalized travel candle and the mustache cookie cutter.
8 – BUZZ BEE
Congratulations to the “Mommy to Bee!” One of the reasons why we love this theme is because it can be gender neutral with these bold and bright colors and its easy to execute. We love using beehives, bees, honeycombs, and bright yellows to bring this party to life. For favors we loved the honeycomb soap and the beehive box that can be filled with goodies. Either way, your guests will love it.
9 – TEDDY BEARS
Who doesn’t love teddy bears? Teddy bears are so sweet and tender, they bring peace and happiness with each hug no matter how old you are. Even as children, our teddy bears always held a special place in our heart and how perfect is this theme to welcome a baby boy? You can use soft blues, creams, and mochas and teddy bear décor to make this party so adorably sweet for everyone. Our top picks for favors are the super cute teddy bear towel, the bear bookmark, and for cupcake wrappers you have to go with our cream colored, laser cut bear wrappers. They’re “Bear-y” beautiful!
10- BLACK AND GOLD
Last but not least is probably our favorite theme on this list, the black and gold color scheme. It’s modern, it’s elegant, and it’s chic and we just love it to welcome a dapper young gentleman. Treat the mommy to be with a sophisticated and elegant party that she will never forget. Gold is all the rage this season so go crazy with it! Black stripes and chevron, gold accents everywhere are the perfect way to decorate for a party as elegant as this. For favors we loved our metallic gold foil personalized lollipops, goody bags, and the always elegant black scroll frames. You can’t wrong with these!
