A Little Sugar Plum (Nutcracker)

I can’t help but love girly pinks, bows & glitter – even in the holiday season! I love this theme idea for a baby shower to celebrate “A Little Sugar Plum”. or, if you’re going for a more gender neutral or baby boy shower, a classic Nutcracker theme is adorable too. here’s some Nutcracker themed baby shower favor ideas you might like!

baby it’s cold outside

one of the more popular winter baby shower themes, this party embraces snuggling up with your favorite blanket & warm drink by the fire. tailor the theme to your preference of a woodland vibe, winter whites, or baby arctic animals (so cute!). for party favors, I’d go with hot coco mixes or a fun pair of warm socks!

a merry little baby

a sweet winter baby shower theme for mamas who can’t get enough holiday cheer! go for traditional green & red decor, or emphasize one element of the season you love ~ like sparkly Christmas trees, pretty bows, sleigh bells, or vintage holiday vibes.

winter wonderland

for a romantic & sophisticated vibe this season, a winter wonderland baby shower is the perfect theme. I love the look of an all white party, with hints of blue or pink. or go for a more natural decor style with woodland animals and fir details. this theme is all about layers of texture and pretty details to celebrate the magic of slowing down before welcoming new life! here’s a dreamy balloon kit that would be so pretty.

a little snowflake is on the way

another theme that would be so pretty with an all white and pearly decor scheme ~ perfect for a gender neutral baby shower, or for going all out with sparkly decor! I love the look of twinkle lights and snow dusted greenery. here’s a fun snowflake themed cake topper or these simple snowflake cupcake toppers would be perfect. check out these large snowflake decals you could hang from the ceiling or incorporate into your backdrop. there are so many ways to make this party theme come to life, whether you like to keep it simple or love a more luxurious feel.

santa baby

this baby shower theme is full of holiday cheer! a great way to celebrate the anticipation of Christmas and welcoming a new little life to the family. with a red and white color scheme, candy-cane details, and a fun backdrop ~ this party decor comes together easily, especially since you can probably use some of your Christmas decorations already in the closet! for party favors, I’d go with a candy bar and take-home boxes with pretty bows.

starry night

a dreamy theme idea for celebrating anticipation of a new life this winter. decor is inspired by quiet beauty of a snowy night, peaceful anticipation, and magical wonder. twinkle light accents along with moon & star decor are a must, incorporated into a navy blue color scheme or kept light with neutrals, white, and gold.

we can bearly wait

this adorable baby shower theme is so fun for the winter ~ make it polar bear themed or classic teddy bear in a snowy forest. little winter hats on the bears would be so cute!

a bundle of joy

another fun theme idea for mamas who can’t get enough of holiday parties & Christmas cheer! I absolutely love these Christmas Tartan inspired invitations ~ this would be such a stunning decor theme, with large bows to emphasize a little “bundle” wrapped up for the season. check out some more “bundle of joy” inspo here!

it takes a village

I love a good Christmas (or snow-covered) village display ~ and how sweet would this be as a baby shower theme! These window decals would be perfect for either the windows or incorporated into a backdrop. It would be so fun to create a mini village with fir trees as a centerpiece on a long dining table, and offer guests take-home treats in these house-shaped candy boxes!

little sweetie (gingerbread)

a little sugar, spice, and everything nice ~ this sweet theme is perfect for celebrating baby in the holiday season. decor is all about gingerbread dreams, with gumdrop details and frosting galore. a display of frosted cookies & a hot cocoa station would be a perfect dessert table. these gingerbread shaped soaps would make fun & easy party favors or game prizes! I just love a good neutral colored theme ~ but a gingerbread party would also be so cute with girly pink candy details or red and white candy cane stripes for a more masculine touch. Bonjour Fête has the sweetest gingerbread themed party ware, and I’m kind of obsessed ~ take a look!

Cookies & Cocoa

a cookies & cocoa theme features everyone’s favorites for gathering around a fire & soaking in the cozy feel of the season. this theme can be so versatile & easy to make unique and personal to fit your style. this winter baby shower theme would be perfect for keeping the celebration simple & sweet!

a little dear is on the way

another one of my favorites for this season! “a little dear”, or “oh deer!” ~ to celebrate a little reindeer or deer on the way, with woodland details and a touch of holiday magic. here’s some more winter deer invitations to inspire your decor. Amazon has some cute deer shaped plates, and these balloons would be fun to add to a backdrop!
