20 Boy Themed Baby Shower Ideas

If you just found out you’re expecting a baby boy, congratulations! Planning a baby shower is such a fun part of the journey, and choosing the right theme is usually the first big step.

It’s easy to want to take everything on yourself, but don’t be afraid to let your friends and family step in and help. It’s a big day, and having support will make it even more enjoyable. Be sure to share these ideas with them to get the inspiration flowing!

1. Heaven Sent Theme

This theme is soft, simple, and so sweet. Think pale blue fabrics paired with white baby’s breath for an angelic, airy look. Add delicate touches like feather details, an “Oh Baby” neon sign, and maybe even some angel wings for napkin rings. It feels peaceful and perfect for celebrating your little boy.

2. Sprinkled With Love

This theme is sweet, simple, and super creative. It uses soft tones like sage green and muted neutrals to create a cozy and relaxed setup. Add a sprinkle-inspired banner or subtle polka dots to carry the theme throughout your decor.

3. Sage Green Theme

Sage green is fresh, calming, and not something you see at every baby shower — which makes it feel extra special. You can mix it with natural textures, wood accents, or even tie in a gentle animal theme for an earthy, modern look.

4. Spring Theme

Perfect for a baby boy arriving in spring, this theme brings soft floral touches and light colors together. Think baby blue and neutral beige balloons, fresh flowers, and a light, airy vibe that feels welcoming and sweet.

5. Ahoy/Sailor Theme

This nautical-inspired theme uses shades of blue, red, and yellow. Decorate with paper boats, cupcake toppers that say “Ahoy, It’s a Boy,” and little rubber duckies for a fun twist. A fishnet runner over the guest tables and mini lighthouse accents pull everything together.

6. Little Man Theme

Bring on the bow ties, suspenders, and mustaches. This theme adds a playful, grown-up vibe to the baby shower. Use white onesies as decor and add paper ties or bow ties to each one. For desserts, go with cupcakes or a cake decorated in suspenders and tiny bowties. It’s classy but still cute.

7. Teddy Bear Theme

A “Can Bearly Wait” shower is adorable and cozy. Keep things neutral with soft browns, whites, and creams. Add a balloon garland, a large teddy bear as decor, and simple wooden or vintage-style accents. You can even create a sweet backdrop with custom line art and soft fabrics.

8. Woodland Theme

If you love natural tones and textures, this is a perfect fit. Mix forest animals with wood slices, greenery, and felt decor. Use earthy colors like green, brown, and gold in your balloons and table settings. Little succulents with tags that say “Watch Me Grow” also make great favors.

9. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

This classic theme is both simple and dreamy. Use soft gold, white, and blue tones. Hang star-shaped garlands and scatter moon and cloud details around the party space. You can even set up a backdrop with the quote “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Do You Know How Loved You Are.”

10. Tablescape

This was a beautiful summer day in New York so the party was outdoors. Under a white tent, we set up these really long guest tables. First, we covered the tables with bright white tablecloths. The centerpieces were very simple – just large batches of baby’s breath. You can either put these together yourselves using mason jars or you can have a florist put together a small base. We placed them all down on the table.

11. Giant Light Up Letters

In the back of the yard, we set up this ultra-stunning balloon garland with handmade foam board letters. Can you believe we put together these giant letters just from foam board and battery-operated lights from Dollar Tree?

12. Colorful Decor Theme

Skip the rules and go with bright, happy colors. This theme mixes bold onesies, colorful banners, and playful accents for a lively feel. It’s great if you love fun, cheerful parties and want something a little less traditional.

13. Minimalist Theme

If clean and simple is more your style, a minimalist shower with neutral tones works beautifully. Stick with beige, white, or sage as your base, and use small accents to create a calm, modern setting that still feels super thoughtful.

14. Blue Balloon Theme

Keep it simple and stylish with all shades of blue. Use a big blue balloon arch, blue treats, and tableware in navy, sky blue, and baby blue. Add touches of white or silver for contrast. This is a great choice if you want a clean, modern look without locking into a specific theme.

15. Blue and White Theme

You can never go wrong with classic blue and white. It’s timeless, easy to pull together, and always looks adorable. Mix different shades of blue with crisp white tableware, balloons, and signage for a clean, bright look that feels perfectly boy-themed without needing a specific character or design.

16. Baby in Bloom Theme

Traditionally a girl-theme favorite, this one totally works for boys too — especially when paired with baby blue and soft neutrals. Use fresh or faux florals, delicate signage, and touches of greenery to create a light, garden-inspired feel.

17. Bright Blue Theme

Go bold with vibrant blue tones. This color pops beautifully alongside white, gold, beige, or even silver. Add a balloon arch, matching desserts, and blue table details to tie everything together. It’s simple but eye-catching.
