30 Coffee Themed Baby Shower Ideas – A Baby is Brewing

Coffee + babies = pure joy, right? If you’re anything like me (read: caffeine-obsessed with a Pinterest board full of nursery inspo), then planning a coffee-themed baby shower feels like a dream come true. And the best part? You get to say, “A Baby is Brewing” on everything. Seriously, it doesn’t get cuter than that.

So whether you’re the mom-to-be, the bestie planning it, or the aunt who just wants to be in charge of the cupcakes (I see you), I’ve brewed up 30 awesome ideas that will make this baby shower unforgettable.

1. The Invite: Start With a Sip

You gotta start strong, right? Go for invitations that look like coffee cups or even mock Starbucks labels. Add the phrase “A Baby is Brewing” front and center. It’s punny, it’s cute, and it sets the tone.

2. Barista-Style Welcome Sign

Welcome guests with a chalkboard that reads: Welcome to [Mom’s Name]’s Baby Shower – A Baby is Brewing! Grab a cup + enjoy! Bonus points if you doodle little coffee cups and rattles.

3. Coffee Bar Station (Duh)

Let’s be real, if you don’t have a DIY coffee bar at a coffee-themed baby shower, did it even happen? Set up a self-serve station with hot coffee, iced lattes, flavor syrups, creamers, and toppings like whipped cream, cinnamon, and chocolate drizzle. Fancy? Yes. Worth it? Also yes.

4. Baby Bottle Cold Brew

Want to get cheeky? Serve cold brew or iced coffee in actual baby bottles (for the adults, obvs). It’ll get laughs and likes. Just don’t forget the adult-only sign unless you want some very confused kids.

5. Coffee-Themed Mocktails

Preggo-friendly drinks matter! Try a decaf coffee spritzer, mocha milkshakes, or a non-caffeinated vanilla latte. Serve in mason jars for a cute touch.

6. Coffee Bean Decor

Scatter coffee beans across the tables or use them to fill vases with flowers. It smells amazing and keeps the theme strong without going overboard.

7. Personalized Coffee Sleeves

Order custom coffee sleeves with phrases like “Brewing Love Since [Due Date]” or “Mommy Needs Her Coffee.” Your guests will definitely want to take these home.

8. Cupcake Toppers That Slay

Mini toppers that say “A Baby is Brewing” or look like mini cups of coffee? Shut up and take my money. These instantly dress up even store-bought cupcakes.

9. DIY Donut Wall

Donuts + coffee = soulmates. Create a donut wall with a sign like “Thanks a Latte for Coming!” Guests can grab their snack while sipping that custom brew.

10. Rustic Coffee Shop Vibe

Wooden accents, burlap table runners, and string lights totally scream “cozy café.” Add some mini chalkboard menus listing the food and drink options. Instant charm.

11. Coffee-Scented Candles as Favors

Who doesn’t want their house to smell like a fresh roast? Hand out mini coffee-scented candles labeled “Thanks a Latte!” Cute AND useful.

12. Baby Onesie Station (Coffee-Edition)

Set up a crafting station where guests can decorate onesies. Provide iron-on coffee cup patches or fabric markers with slogans like “Mommy’s Little Bean.”

13. Mini Espresso Cup Favors

Buy tiny espresso cups and fill them with candy or coffee beans. Add a little tag that says “A Baby is Brewing” and you’ve got the cutest party favor ever.

14. Coffee Cup Photo Booth Props

You NEED a photo booth. Make sure to include coffee-themed props like oversized cups, “Mommy Fuel” signs, and latte art masks. Yes, that’s a thing.

15. Burlap Banner Decor

A burlap banner that says “A Baby is Brewing” over the food or drink table ties everything together.

16. Coffee-Themed Games

Try “Guess the Coffee Flavor” or “Coffee Bean Counting” (fill a jar, let guests guess how many beans). It’s weirdly competitive and weirdly fun.

17. Coffee Cupcake Bar

Let guests build their own coffee-inspired cupcakes with frosting options like mocha, caramel, and vanilla bean. Toss in toppings like chocolate chips and toffee. Yum.

18. Latte Art Cookies

Get cookies that look like latte art or that have cute coffee sayings iced on top. “I love you a latte” never looked so delicious.

19. Coffee Quote Signage

Print and frame funny quotes like “No talkie before coffee” or “Espresso yourself.” You know, the kind of thing you’d see in a millennial’s kitchen.

20. Coffee Bean Centerpieces

Fill glass jars with layers of coffee beans, candles, and mini pacifiers. It’s weirdly beautiful and smells like heaven.

21. DIY Mug Painting Station

Buy cheap plain white mugs and paint pens. Let guests design their own coffee mugs. You’ll be shocked at how into it people get. Even that cousin who “hates crafts.”

22. Barista Name Tags

Give everyone a name tag that looks like a Starbucks order label. Write fun titles like “Baby Whisperer,” “Milk Machine,” or “Coffee Queen.”

23. Coffee + Book Corner

Set up a cozy reading nook with baby books and comfy chairs. It gives people a chill space and fits that indie coffee shop vibe.

24. “Roast & Toast” Speech Time

Instead of the usual baby shower speeches, invite guests to roast and toast the parents-to-be. It’s part roast, part toast, and all hilarious. Just maybe skip the super embarrassing stuff.

25. “Brewing Baby” Playlist

Curate a Spotify playlist with coffee songs (Coffee by Miguel, Black Coffee by Ella Fitzgerald, etc.) and sweet baby tunes. Vibes = complete.

26. Coffee Filter Garlands

Use coffee filters to make delicate, ruffled garlands. Dye them in soft baby colors or keep them natural for a rustic coffeehouse vibe. String them above tables or photo booth backdrops.

27. Coffee Bag Tablecloths

Repurpose burlap coffee bean bags as table runners or cloths. They bring that raw, earthy feel and scream “coffee chic.” Bonus: super affordable if you can snag them from a local roaster.

28. Hanging Coffee Cup Lights

Take string lights and attach mini disposable coffee cups (poke a hole in the base) over each bulb. It creates a whimsical café glow that guests will obsess over.

29. Espresso Shot Glass Vases

Use espresso shot glasses as mini vases for tiny floral arrangements or succulents. Place them around the table for an adorable touch of botanical-meets-barista.

30. Vintage Coffee Can Flower Holders

Hunt down some retro coffee tins and use them as centerpieces for flowers. They’re bold, nostalgic, and perfect for tying in that coffee shop charm.
