Few things in life rival the welcoming of the spring season. The warmer temps and bouts of sunshine are enough to make us burst out of a winter slump. After months of dark days, the sun setting far too early, and shivers we’re ready to forget, the sight and sounds of springtime is just the revival we’ve been waiting for since Christmas.

There is one thing we know for sure that even the excitement of a dreary winter ending can’t beat, and that’s welcoming a newborn into our world. Combine, perhaps, two of the greatest joys and you’ve got yourself a spring-themed baby shower in the making. Whether you’re planning one for yourself or someone close to you, a spring baby shower is sure to elicit as much excitement and anticipation for a new bud or blossom as seeing the sunshine after a long, dark winter.

For all of the best spring baby shower ideas, look no further. We’ve covered it all—from the different spring baby shower themes, baby shower games, perfect food and drink pairings, and more. For each of the following 10 themes, we’ve included options like eye-catching welcome signs, balloon arches, and photo backdrops for bigger elements. Then, there are plenty of smaller details like themed confetti for the tables, centerpieces, and cute cutouts to pull everything together. Make your dreams of a spring baby shower come true with the ideas below.

Spring Baby Shower Ideas

A Little Butterfly is On the Way

Flutter into motherhood with this adorable butterfly-themed party. We love the complementary colors, butterfly cutouts, and colorful floral arrangements of this theme. With a mix of bright colors and pastels, this theme screams “spring!”

Food & Drink

Now that we’re in the spring months, it means embracing light foods. Think veggies, finger foods, and sandwiches over heavy soups or casseroles.

Having a fun-themed cocktail is sure to set the mood. Consider this Butterfly Martini made with Grey Goose, white grape juice, lemon, and elderflower—as light and airy as the wings of a butterfly!

Baby In Bloom

You know what they say about April (baby) showers! Welcome your little one in the most soft and feminine way possible with a Baby in Bloom theme. Fill the room to the brim with flowers, making them the centerpiece of your decor. And while the theme has highly feminine qualities, it doesn’t have to be exclusive to girls as the aesthetic can become slightly more masculine depending on the color of the flowers.

Food & Drink

For a fun cocktail for any alcohol-friendly guests, consider a fun gin cocktail like Blossom and Bloom. As refreshing as it sounds, it’s made with gin, vermouth, rose syrup, fresh lime juice, and more.

Here Comes the Son

This theme is perfect for moms welcoming a little boy in the spring (or summer!). A fun play on words, the theme will incorporate plenty of sun-shaped decor and balloons in colors of the sun and clouds. Plus, you’ve got a built-in playlist inspo by incorporating plenty of The Beatles’ greatest hits.

Food & Drink

With sunshine as the theme, it only feels right to include some lemon-inspired dishes. Consider lemon bars, lemon blueberry bread, and homemade lemonade for everyone wanting a non-alcoholic beverage—including mama-to-be!

Keep the lemon vibes going for an alcoholic beverage option as well, with a lemon drop martini guests are sure to appreciate.

Winnie the Pooh

Just when we thought the honey bee theme couldn’t get any cuter, Winnie the Pooh was brought into the mix. We love that this theme brings in a hint of nostalgia from our own childhood. Welcome a little ba-bee into your Hundred Acre Wood with pastel yellows, pinks, neutrals, honeybees, Pooh Bear and Friends cutouts, and yellow and white bouquets. This gender-neutral theme is perfect for moms who won’t be finding out the sex of their baby!

Food & Drink

Honey can be the name of the game in the food department with this kind of party, even if it’s just incorporated into some classic dishes. Think fresh biscuits with honey, a yogurt parfait bar, or artisan pizzas with hot honey.

A Winnie the Pooh-themed shower could incorporate a Blood Orange Bees Knees cocktail made from honey, blood orange juice, and gin for something unique and on theme.

Peter Rabbit

A classic nostalgic theme like Peter Rabbit is the perfect way to welcome your new hunny bunny. Cardboard cutouts of Peter Rabbit—in either classic blue or pink—pair perfectly with pastel balloons and can easily incorporate any color scheme you prefer—pinks and purples, blues and greens, or something in between!

Food & Drink

A bunny-themed party and a spring baby shower, in general, can incorporate plenty of fresh vegetables. Consider offering guests a veggie cup with dressing, a veggie-filled quiche, bruschetta, or caprese skewers.

A Little Wildflower is On the Way

All throughout the country, wildflowers will be budding in the springtime. Celebrate your own little flower child with a beautiful theme filled with tons of bright colors and, of course, lots of flowers. If the farmers market in your area is starting back up this time of year, it may be the perfect place to stock up on plenty of flowers to incorporate into the decor.

Food & Drink

Since we’re looking at spring baby shower ideas, incorporating a light and refreshing drink topped with an edible flower may be the way to go. For a flower-centric theme, consider something like an Elderflower Rose Gimlet, filled with crisp gin, elderflower liqueur, fresh lime juice, and rose water.

Woodland

Spring means coming out of our wintertime hibernation. Celebrate the changing of the seasons and welcome your new cub with a woodland-themed baby shower. Filled with adorable forest friends, this is a perfect theme for an outdoorsy set of parents and makes a great gender-neutral or masculine option, depending on the decor.

Food & Drink

Just like the animals of the forest, guests can appreciate plenty of fresh berries. Consider berry-forward dishes like a mixed berry salad, a fruit pizza, or a fresh spring salad.

Quench everyone’s thirst with a refreshing Blackberry Fizz. Made with blackberries, club soda, and lemon, this drink can easily be made with or without vodka.

Showered with Love

Perfect for mamas with a due date in May and having a shower in April is this theme that plays on the old saying, “April showers bring May flowers.” Incorporate umbrellas, balloon rain clouds, and rain boots for an adorable theme. Guests will be ready to shower mom with love and gifts the second they receive the invite in the mail. Also, this is a great theme for a simple baby sprinkle for baby number 2+!

Food & Drink

You can’t go wrong going with a classic ‘umbrella drink’ for this theme, like a Piña Colada or Rum Runner that is reminiscent of sunny days. Or, play into the feeling of a light rain with a refreshing Pineapple Mint Julep Margarita.

Easter Baby Shower/A Little Bunny is On the Way

Love the quintessential spring holiday? Show your adoration with an adorable Easter-themed baby shower. This is another great gender-neutral option—incorporate all of the pastel colors like blue, pink, green, purple, and yellow. And don’t forget the bunnies of all shapes and sizes!

Food & Drink

Plan a classic Easter brunch to fit this spring baby shower theme perfectly. Try something fun like a French toast bar with topping options like chocolate chips and strawberries, something fancier like a build-your-own crepe stand, or have a la carte options like delicious cinnamon rolls.

For a refreshing brunch cocktail, opt for something light and crisp—and easy to make—like an Aperol Spritz.

A Little Chick is About to Hatch

Not much of a fan of bunnies? No worries, there’s another cute barnyard animal that screams spring just as much—a baby chick! This is a perfect theme to either incorporate specific colors for a boy or girl or go the gender-neutral route with plenty of yellows.

Food & Drink

Make this theme extra adorable by hosting it in the late morning and serving brunch to the attendees. You can incorporate plenty of egg-centric foods like deviled eggs or an egg bake that stays on theme and is also delicious. Or go extra cutesy and serve chicken salad sandwiches.

Since it’s a brunch, it’d be wrong to not include a mimosa bar! Have plenty of juice options available for mixing with the champagne—classic orange, grapefruit, and cranberry.
