The Baby Shower Ideas for Boys can be a bit endless, so you definitely need a plan before you try to choose! You’re going to love these little boy baby shower themes.

What are fun baby shower games?

No matter what your baby shower theme, you can always have fun game ideas. I love anything that has to do with guessing the name or giving the mom fun advice but you can easily tie in fun-themed games as well.

Some examples of themed baby shower games would be:

  • Jungle Theme Baby Shower Games
  • Fun Unicorn Baby Shower Games
  • Owl Themed Baby Shower Games

You can even just pick and choose from all and make them work! There’s no wrong way to do it.

What are some food ideas to serve at baby showers?

Be certain to feed your guests! They’re there to support you but they’re going to be hungry, too!

Some food ideas for the baby boy baby shower could be:

  • Super Tasty Blue Mocktail Recipes
  • Sweet and Spicy Blueberry Salsa Recipe
  • Fun and Simple Red and Blue Punch Recipe
  • Blueberry Muffin Cheesecake Recipe

See the food trend that I’m going with here? Blue food items for your baby boy! There are so many fun recipes that are fast, delicious, and easy! Don’t forget these blue foods for a boy themed baby shower!

How early do you send out invitations for a baby shower?

You need to be certain to give your guests at least a month’s notice. If you want to make your own invitations, great! Just print them and mail them out!

Baby Boy Shower Ideas

The baby blue robin’s egg is a popular theme for a baby shower for a boy. Some of the decorations can be little nests.  Plus, all the decorations can be used in a blue baby nursery.

Nursery-Themed Baby Showers

It is always nice to tie in the theme of a baby shower to the theme of the nursery. That way some of the decorations used can possibly be taken home and used in the nursery.

If airplane-themed nursery, some over-sized airplane decals will look great on the nursery walls.

A nautical themed shower is a popular one for a boy. Decorate with lots of sailing and anchors. You can serve doughnuts as life preservers among your other party food.

Rubber Ducky Baby Shower Ideas

Bubbles and Yellow ducks – cute, right? You could even go a step farther and have people only bring bath time goodies. That would be especially good for a second child’s shower. A Rubby Ducky Baby shower seems so cute!

Other baby animals are popular for baby showers, such as baby ducks, which could be made into a bath-time-themed party. Find some cute ones that are easy to make.

Mustaches are HUGE these days. Host a “little man” shower filled with chocolate mustaches and bow tie garland.

Name-Themed Baby Shower

One fun way to decide the theme of a baby shower is if you already know the name of the baby. Then, you can base the boy baby shower theme around the name.

For example:

If Jonah, you can have a whale theme. I have seen cute baby whale party ideas like the ones below:

If the boy’s name will be Noah, Noah’s Ark is always such a cute theme.

Branson would make a great musical theme with guitars and records for the baby shower decorations.

Hunter would be fabulous as a deer, duck, bear hunting theme with camo and forest green color scheme.

See how fun this can be? It’s a super fun play on words – or in this case, names!

Sports Themed Baby Shower Ideas

Sports-themed showers are popular for boys. Especially if it is a shower in which the men are invited or you are planning a party close to a large sports event like the Super Bowl. 

What about a Roll Tide Shower? You can easily do this with any professional or college team.

Baseball Themed Baby Shower

A baseball themed party can include decorations like foam fingers and banners.

The cake can be in the shape of a ball diamond and you can serve hot dogs, peanuts, and cracker jacks for fun foods.

Don’t forget the baby shower favors of cute little items or baseball-themed candy. You can decide the perfect party favor.

Golf Themed Party for Expectant Mom

Also, golf-themed baby showers can be lots of fun, especially if the mother or father loves the game.

Have white cake balls instead of a cake. Planters with grass make easy, cute centerpieces.

Basketball Themed Baby Shower

Having a basketball baby shower is a “slam dunk” idea. Just get some cute foods, have everyone guess how much the “basketball” in your tummy is going to weigh when born, and don’t forget to have some Basketball Quotes scattered about, too.

Animal Themed Baby Showers

Having a party that is animal-themed is one of the cutest ideas, ever! There are a lot of animals to choose from but below you’ll find some of my favorite choices.

If an animal theme, stuffed animals placed on the tables can easily be incorporated into the nursery decor.

Lions and tigers and bears – oh my! If you like the animal theme, how about a jungle theme? Great idea for the boys. Some of the decorations can be little stuffed animals of monkeys, elephants, zebras and more, that the mother-to-be can take home and add to the nursery.

Frog Theme Ideas

Nothing cuter than a little frog prince, is there? With bright green and yellow, little frogs are perfect for boys. A frog theme is a great idea!

Owl Themed Baby Shower

Owls are adorable right now and they, surprisingly, now come in all colors. You can use blues and green for a baby boy shower – think “Who” is having a baby? 

Puppy Themed Baby Shower Ideas

Puppies are always cute, no matter what. These adorable dog-themed party ideas are sure to help you have the best ever shower for the mom-to-be.

    I love the suggestion of tying in the shower decor to the theme of the nursery so that things can be repurposed!

    I’ve had 4 babies and never received a diaper cake! I did only have a couple of baby showers. I have been to a few that have been gifted with diaper cake before. Thanks so much for stopping by the Thoughtful Spot Blog Hop!

    My daughter received a diaper cake for her baby shower (a girl) and it was beautiful – so much nicer than any other centerpiece and the diapers sure come in handy.
