These oh-so-sweet baby shower themes for girls are just what you’ve been looking for.
If you’re on a budget, but don’t want to spend hours trying to DIY decorations with glue sticks and construction paper, I’ve got you covered.
I’m planning my baby shower right now, and I’ve put together some “theme-spiration” including affordable supplies you can grab on Etsy or Amazon.

#1. Wild One Theme
This is one of our favorite baby shower themes for girls because there are so many ways you can pull it off. You can go with richer greens and neutral colors, or make it bright and light with beautiful pastels.
The look below took a very sweet spin on this theme by sticking with gorgeous pastels in the balloon garland, accents, and food.
A couple of balloon animals tops it off, creating a perfectly calm environment as mom-to-be gears up for what’s sure to be a very wild ride.

#2. BOHO Rainbow Baby Theme
I’m currently pregnant with my rainbow baby, and Boho Rainbow was one of the baby shower themes for girls at the top of my list.
Whether you have similar sentimental ties to this theme, or you’re just in love with the beautiful combination of pastels, I’m with ya.
What I like most about this theme is that you can go big with a giant rainbow banner or cutout like the one below. Or if you don’t have the space for that you can download cute rainbow printables and use them throughout your decor.
Then all you’ll need is some complimentary pastel balloons, table decorations, and food items that match your color scheme.

#3. Tropical Paradise
This is one of those baby shower themes for girls that’s so, fun, festive, and bright.
I love this theme for summer babies and spring showers. The shades of pink, red, oranges, and green set the stage for an exciting atmosphere and cool vibes.
When choosing menu items, dive into tropical favors like pink lemonade or a pina colada party punch for your drink selections. Chocolate covered strawberries or a nice fruit salad make light and refreshing snacks your guests will devour.
Spread the festive cheer by giving each guest a tropical lei to wear upon their arrival, or making a beautiful flower crown for the mommy-to-be.

#4. Mom-to-Bee Theme
This theme is sweet as honey. It’s perfect for baby girl, but also makes an excellent option for a gender neutral shower.
You can go with a combo of bright and pastel yellows, white, and golds. You can also add in some bold black accents to make this theme stand out.
Cute honey jars or “mom-to-be” themed glasses make such cute and useful favors for your guests.
Simple decor pieces like using sunflowers for your table centerpieces make for a playful and beautiful atmosphere. If you don’t have enough vases at home, you can get some from your local Dollar Store.

#5. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

For an event that’s sure to shine, you can set the mood with floating tea light candle centerpieces, centerpiece sticks that can double as photo props, and/or ballon centerpieces.
When you set up your drink station, put a glass of something sparkly in your guests hands. Sparkling cider or champagne make excellent options.

BONUS: Woodland Theme
It’s no surprise that the Woodland Theme is one of the most popular baby shower themes for girls.
Similar to the” Wild One” theme we included earlier, it’s the perfect way to welcome baby girl in style.
Decor with warm shades of green and some cute woodland creature cut-outs, are all you need to get started with this theme.
You can bring in the scents of the outdoors with a DIY Essential Oils Perfume Bar. Oils like Eucalyptus, Peppermint, and Bergamont will make relaxingly aromatic mixes. Plus they’ll make excellent favors for guests to take home.

How to cut down on your party planning time
Once you’ve chosen the perfect shower theme, it’s time to start gathering supplies and decorations. Consider these things:
1. The Shower Venue
Where you’re hosting your baby shower determines your decorating strategy.
If you’re doing a virtual shower, a simple banner or balloon garland set will make the perfect backdrop for your video call. Since guests will only have a very narrow view of mom-to-be’s environment, it makes things much simpler.
If the shower’s taking place at someone’s house, you’ll want to cover the primary rooms where guests will congregate.
Think about getting simple centerpieces for the tables, signs for the different stations, and decorating hot spots like the cake and food table.
2. The Entertainment
Party themed game packs are one of my favorite solutions for making game-play prep quick and easy.
You can get large packs with dozens of games to choose from for a seriously affordable price on Etsy. All you have to do is download and print the games you want.
You can also buy pre-printed game packs on Amazon for slightly more. But you’ll save yourself a trip to your local printer.
3. Your Time and Budgetary Limits
Planning a shower can feel overwhelming, especially if you already have a lot on your plate.
To make things easier, start early, ask for help as needed, and determine what you can realistically do.
For example, would it be easier for you to cook for the shower or get it catered?
Are you super crafty and want to DIY your decor, or is buying a themed decor pack more up your alley?
If you’re on a budget, the Dollar Tree, Amazon, and Etsy are my go-to places to get decorations.
Be realistic about any financial or time constraints you have and do what works best for you.
Conclusion
There are so many baby shower themes for girls to choose from, but we think these are some of the absolute cutest.
Once you’ve crossed choosing a theme off your checklist, you can start sending out invitations, putting together your decor plans, and choosing super fun perfect games and activities.
For seamless planning, remember to start 6-7 weeks ahead of time, and communicate early and often with mommy-to-be. This is her special day, so getting her input will make things much easier for you.
Mom-to-be is sure to be tickled pink with all the work you put in to celebrate her and her baby girl.
