Planning a Baby Shower for a Baby Girl
When I did research for my baby shower, I came across loads of amazing theme ideas. And it was tough to pick just one! So, I saved all of my favorite baby shower themes for girls and put them together on this list.
Although my mom and my closest friends hosted my baby shower, I had a heavy hand in choosing and designing the theme, decor, and games. It wasn’t that they didn’t offer to do more, I wanted to do it. I actually asked them if I could, LOL.
Event-planning is one of my most favorite things in the world. Call me weird, but I actually look forward to the research that goes into planning things like events, parties, and trips. 🙂 And I love to share my discoveries with others.
But whether or not event-planning is your thing, this list of baby shower themes for girls will help choose your baby shower theme. And that will be one more thing to cross off your to-do list!
Narrowing Down Your Baby Shower Theme
You’re here to explore baby shower themes for girls, so you know you want your baby shower to have a baby girl focus. But how to choose?
It helps to know the kinds of things that you typically see among baby shower themes for girls, and determine if those elements are right for you. Beyond that, there are other things to consider that will help narrow down your choice.
Common Elements of Baby Shower Themes for Girls
Let’s take a brief look at the some of the more popular elements that make up most baby shower themes for girls:
- Feminine Decor
- Florals & Greenery
- Pinks & Pastels
- Soft & Airy Fabrics
- Fancy Fonts
- Cute, Sweet, or Delicate Imagery
These elements are not a must, but they are what people typically think of when they imagine a baby shower for a girl. Some of the baby shower theme ideas on the list below include the elements above, however not all of them do.
What To Consider When Choosing Your Theme
When choosing the baby shower theme that’s right for you and your baby girl, you should consider the following:
- Your Personality: What kind of person are you? Are you rough around the edges? Or are you as feminine as it gets? Do you love all things pink? Or are you a mom-to-be with a more masculine expression? You are having a shower for your sweet, innocent baby, but your shower should also reflect your personality, too.
- Your Interests: What do you like to do for fun? Do you enjoy spending time in nature? Are you into fairy tales and fantasy? Are you logically-minded and into STEM? Whatever your interests, it’s easy to find a baby shower theme that resonates with the things you enjoy.
- Baby’s Nursery: If you haven’t thought about your baby’s nursery yet, no worries! But if you are drawn to certain themes for your baby’s nursery, those theme ideas could work just as well for your baby shower. (You can even recycle some of your baby shower decor and put it on the walls of the nursery!)
- Shower Venue: Where do you hope to have your shower? The venue can help dictate the theme. For example, if you’re having an outdoor baby shower in a park, you might want a floral theme. Or if you are having a fancy brunch at a nice restaurant, an uber feminine theme might be a good fit.
- Your Values: Think about how you might raise your baby. What are your beliefs about gender? Have you thought about how you plan to discipline your child? What values do you want to teach? These may seem like big questions for a fun baby shower, but it can really help to know what’s at the core of the new role you are taking on. In turn, that awareness can make it easier to choose a theme that reflects those values.
As mentioned above, some mamas-to-be pick a baby shower theme that lines up with their nursery room theme. If that’s you, don’t forget to add decor items that you like to your baby registry for the nursery. And if you haven’t started your baby registry, definitely check out the Amazon baby registry. I used it for my shower and it was fantastic. SO. MUCH. SELECTION. Plus, if your guests have Amazon Prime, they will save some money on shipping when purchasing gifts for you.

I adore this cute baby shower theme! You could give away little mini succulents or baby plants as favors and decorate your venue with lush greenery. This invitation from Minted is an adorable way to set the tone.

If you decide to do mini succulents baby shower favors, then I HIGHLY recommend you get them from The Succulent Source. Their plants are really good quality and I don’t know if anyone can beat them on price. You can choose from different container options to go with the succulents pictured below. (See second picture)
- Greatest Baby Shower On Earth
This carnival baby shower theme is so much fun! The options are endless in terms of how you can get this playful theme across. You could do carnival games, fun carnival treats, and colorful decor. Here are a couple ideas to kick off your planning:
A Note on Gender
Just because you are having a baby shower for your baby girl, it doesn’t mean you have to adhere to specific gender norms. When designing your baby shower, you can choose to do whatever you wish! You can go super feminine or do something typically reserved for boys. It’s totally up to you!
No matter what you decide, it can help to consider the idea that gender falls across a spectrum. Even though you know the biological sex of your baby, it doesn’t mean you know how your baby will experience their gender. Gender is comprised of much more than biological attributes.
Society plays a role in the things that are considered the domain of a specific gender, and our understanding of gender is ever-evolving. For more information about gender, check out this post on Understanding Gender from genderspectrum.org.
Awareness is Key
As a parent, the more awareness you have about how your decisions impact the meaning your child takes on with regard to gender, the better for your child’s development. Allowing your child the space to develop their sense of self without fear of being shamed is a great way to support your child’s overall wellness, and that includes gender.
And while it’s true your baby won’t know what the baby shower was like, keeping this stuff in mind while planning the shower offers you a nice opportunity to further nail down your thoughts and beliefs about what you want to teach your child about gender.
Thanks so much for exploring my post on baby shower themes for girls! hope you found the baby shower theme of your dreams!
