There’s something magical about celebrating a new baby in spring. The sun’s out, flowers are blooming, and everything feels fresh and full of possibility — just like the little one on the way! Whether you’re hosting a baby shower for a friend or planning your own, here are some of the cutest, easiest, and most on-trend spring baby shower themes, along with styling tips and decor ideas using party supplies from Lively & Co.

🌼 1. Garden Tea Party

Decor Ideas:

• Use pastel or floral-themed tableware and serve cupcakes or finger sandwiches on tiered stands.

• Hang white or blush balloon garlands above a picnic or table setting.

• Add faux vines, flower garlands, or lace table runners for a soft, elegant look.

• A DIY “Mummy-to-be” chair with a sash or sign makes for a sweet photo moment.

🐝 2. “What Will It Bee?” Gender Reveal Baby Shower

Theme Vibe: Yellow, black, and white with cute bee accents.

Decor Ideas:

• Use bee-themed plates, cups, and signage — or keep it simple with yellow and white.

• Include a “He or She? What Will Baby Bee?” sign and do a confetti balloon or coloured cake reveal.

Theme Vibe: Bright, joyful, inclusive — perfect for any gender.

Decor Ideas:

• Use a mini rainbow balloon garland on the table or backdrop.

• Layer your table with bright napkins or a DIY rainbow table runner.

🐣 4. Little Duckling or “Oh Baby” Theme

Theme Vibe: Soft yellows, neutrals, and baby icons.

Decor Ideas:

• Use our gold balloon packs for a timeless, gender-neutral look.

• Add duck or baby animal cutouts, or float yellow duckies in clear vases for table centrepieces.
