Unicorn Baby Shower Ideas:
When you are the hostess for a Baby shower, so much goes into it. You aren’t just in charge of sending a baby shower invitation to everyone. You are also in charge of the theme idea, party favors, etc. You even have to determine which party shower game to play and which to avoid. Yes, many will help you pull off the Ultimate Baby Shower, but someone has to be in charge to be sure nothing falls through the cracks.
Here at 3 Boys and a Dog, we have many different baby shower ideas, but none are more popular than our Unicorn Baby Shower ideas! Hopefully we have everything you could need to pull off this fun day. Please, let us know if we have left something out.

Unicorn Baby Shower Decorations:
Trust me, I am not very good at decorations, but even I know you can inflate a few unicorn balloons and call it done. I am perfectly happy doing that and even possibly throwing out a few gold unicorns confetti, but that is not good enough! Baby showers these days have to be instagram-worthy to be considered memorable! So, let’s be sure we have the right unicorn decorations for your party.
Make up some of these Easy Unicorn Baby Shower Decorations. Homemade decorations are always a lot of fun and are a great way for everyone hosting the shower to spend time together.

My Little Pony action figures would be great set round the food table, too. Here is a set that includes some unicorns, but you could also go to Dollar General. They carry small ones for a fraction of the cost.
A couple Command hooks would allow you to hang a floating book shelf or two and then you could fill them with decor and books to help embrace the party theme. But, it also is a great gift idea for the new Mom-to-Be! Here are a few of my top pick books to include:
- The Little Unicorn

Keeping Young Guests Busy:

Have fun when you’re decorating for your unicorn themed baby shower. When you think of unicorns, you may think of mystic, and magic. If so, try to incorporate those thoughts and feelings into your upcoming shower. The more fun and unique unicorn themed items and food that you have, the more that your baby shower will truly stand out! Be proud and show your love for unicorns!
