10 baby shower trends we’re loving
Here at Evite, we like to think we know a thing or two about baby showers. We do send at least a few hundred thousand baby shower invitations a year… [pause for dramatic effect]… yeah, that’s a whole lot of kiddos! So, we’ve got a pretty good idea of what people are loving for their baby celebrations. Want to know what trends are at the top of people’s lists (a.k.a. getting searched for the most)? Here are 10 themes that are totally trending (and just SO cute!).
Oh, and btw... if you like any of the designs below (they are pretty adorable, after all), just click on the image to start creating your invitation!
Woodland
This trend isn’t going anywhere. There’s something about a gentle palette of soft greens and natural tones dotted with charming critters that appeals to people of every age (c'mon... it's just so cute). It’s also so easy to bring to life with simple greenery, wildflowers, and wooden accents. Fun game idea: play a classic “Who am I” guessing game with each guest trying to figure out which woodland animal they are!
Mushrooms
We introduced even more mushroom designs last year because people just couldn’t get enough of this fun(gi) theme! And can you blame them?! Mushroom-inspired baby showers were all the rage last year, and one thing is clear: this theme is here to stay.
Boho
Good news, boho lovers — this trend is sticking around, too. From the soothing, earthy hues to the ample opportunities for crafty activities like flower-crown making, this theme is the perfect way to celebrate the free-spirited parent-to-be in your life and their growing family.
Celestial
There’s a reason “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” is one of the most popular lullabies. We’ve been taking inspiration from the skies above for eons, and stars, clouds, the sun, and space in general will continue to shine bright this year.
Classic characters
We all have a fictional character that seemed oh-so-real to us when we were little, so it’s natural that we want to share that with the next generation. Based on our data, it’s clear that this trend is going to be bigger than ever as invitations featuring characters like Mickey Mouse, Dumbo, Bambi, and Winnie the Pooh remain popular!
Safari
Animal-centered themes are simply always a hit for baby showers! In addition to a classic woodland theme, safari-themed showers continue to dominate in the space. Is there anything cuter than baby giraffes and lions? Trick question: your little one-to-be, of course!
Citrus
Maybe it’s the joyful tones of orange and yellow. Maybe it’s the opportunity to set up a mom-osa bar. Or maybe it’s because we were all seeing TikTok DIYs of dried orange garlands this year (or was that just us?). Regardless, citrus showers are all the rage and will definitely continue to be popular, particularly for celebrations held in the spring and summer! Orange you glad we let you in on that little secret? Ok, fine, we'll stop...
Bears
Another animal theme? We know, we know. But what can we say? Everyone wants to throw a cute shower for the parents-to-be, and bears are, well, simply adorable. You really can’t go wrong with this classic option. Whether you take the teddy bear route or the forest-y route, anything featuring these adorable furry friends will continue to be bear-y popular.
Gender-neutral palettes & themes
The days of blue- and pink-themed parties aren’t in the past, but more and more, we’re seeing gender-neutral colors (greens, taupes, yellow) and themes (sunshine, stars, nature, animals) chosen from our assortment of baby shower invitations.
Elephants
Last but certainly not least, we’ve got to address the elephant in the room. Or, rather, the elephant on the list? Whatever. The point is: we’ve continued to see a ton (no pun intended) of elephant-themed showers over the past year. Pro tip: soft pastels and decor featuring sweet illustrations are particularly popular with this theme.
