While a baby shower theme certainly isn't mandatory, many hosts find that having a theme helps guide party decisions into place. Whether you go with a specific color scheme, a nod to a popular television show or a favorite vacation destination of the parents-to-be, a theme can serve as an anchor for the party's decor, food and activities.
Picking a baby shower theme can be tough — there are so many fun options! Think about what the parents-to-be are passionate about and let that come through in the theme. For example, if they love to travel, the shower might be inspired by their favorite locale. If they have a favorite show, movie or band, consider it for the party's focus. Or, if the baby-to-be's nursery already has a theme, you might center the shower around the same idea.
Elephant-themed baby shower decoration
Embrace this sweet animal for a theme that everyone's sure to love. This classic idea allows for extra-cute invitations and decorations.
"Oh boy"-themed baby shower
Turn a classic expression into a baby boy shower theme. Add "oh boy" to the baby shower invite, and other elements like a photo backdrop or custom sweet treats.
Nautical-themed baby shower
Incorporating sailboats, anchors, whales and various shades of blue, white and gray can make for a classic, chic theme.
Dinosaur-themed baby shower
This prehistoric theme is a perfect fit for Jurassic Park-loving parents who are psyched to start their baby’s fascination with paleontology early.
The Office-themed baby shower
If the parents love watching The Office reruns, go for this hilarious theme inspired by the show. You can recreate the birthday party that Dwight and Jim threw for Kelly by hanging up brown and grey balloons and a hilarious "It is your baby shower" sign, in addition to other iconic moments from the show.
Balloon-themed baby shower
If this sounds far too basic to be a baby shower theme, think again. Plenty of showers revolve around balloons, especially if they incorporate extravagant balloon decor (think archways made from tons of balloons). Balloons are also a simple and sweet element to feature on invitations.

For the expectant parents who are into clean lines, all white everything and simple details, a modern minimalist theme can be on-point and seriously elegant. Touches of nature and subtle pops of color add charm.
