If yes then check out these 21 Cool Summer Baby Shower Themes filled with creative ideas that will transform your special day into an unforgettable experience for everyone that attends.

I’ve researched the most adorable summer shower themes ranging from blooming flowers, to beaches, to fruits and I’m so thrilled to share them with you.

So let’s jump into find some cheerful baby shower themes to brighten your summer baby shower.

Here Comes The Son Baby Shower

“Here Comes The Son” is the most popular theme trending this summer.

When building your color palette use cheerful yellows and sunny oranges as your primary colors and consider adding a bit of breezy sky blue for balance. The decoration plan may feature sunflower accents alongside lemon and orange slices on tables as well as paper lanterns in bright colors.

The sunburst cake will serve as the main dessert attraction while lemon bars and “hello sunshine” sugar cookies provide additional sweet options.

Guests can take home little jars of local honey or packets of sunflower seeds.

Little Cutie Is On The Way Baby Shower

The “Little Cutie” theme brings heart-melting adorability to a baby shower.

Your color scheme should include vibrant oranges and soft yellows with green accents along with a hint of white to make everything stand out. Decorate with balloon garlands keeping in mind the color scheme and add some green foliage elements. 

Consider using transparent vases packed with cuties or oranges for your centerpieces and remember to include small touches like orange-slice garlands and table confetti.

A citrus-infused menu is a must! Consider dishes like orange-glazed chicken skewers and mini quiches that contain orange zest.

Berry Sweet Baby Shower

The “berry” theme delivers adorable charm of juicy strawberries and blueberries.

The strawberry theme focuses on red and pink colors but if you wish to add more colors go for mixed berry theme. My favorite decorations include strawberry-shaped balloons or Mylar balloons resembling oversized juicy strawberries.

Decorate your tables with blue or red gingham tablecloths together with mason jars that hold wildflowers and berries and use baskets filled with fresh berries as your centerpiece displays.

Serve guests chocolate-covered strawberries alongside strawberry shortcake and blueberry pie.

Ice Cream Social Baby Shower

What’s cooler than being cool? An Ice Cream Social baby shower!

Choose gentle pastel shades such as mint green, baby pink, lavender, powder blue, and creamy vanilla to create a playful burst throughout your theme. Giant cardboard ice cream cone props and old-fashioned ice cream parlor backdrops create some of the most adorable setups.

Centerpieces can range from basic pastel floral designs to glass jars containing colorful gumballs or sprinkles.

An ice cream bar is non-negotiable! Offer a few flavors of ice cream, and all the toppings. Ice cream cone cupcakes together with cake pops and sugar cookies make perfect options.

Watermelon Wonderland Baby Shower

This truly is “One in a Melon!” fresh and lovely summer baby shower theme.

The color palette features bright pinks and vibrant reds alongside various green tones, with black accents serving as the “seeds.” I have seen balloon mosaics and arches that perfectly resemble a large piece of watermelon which feels really cool!

Decorate the table with pink and green tablecloths combined with centerpieces where watermelons are carved into baby carriage shapes or filled with flowers.

Bring creativity to your dishes by making watermelon-shaped cookies and fruit skewers with melon ball.

Little Sweet Honey/ Bee Baby Shower

This is undoubtedly the sweetest theme among all of the summer baby shower themes on this post.

Choose sunny yellows along with black and white and add accents with gold or natural wood tones. Decorate your space by hanging paper bees together with “Sweet as Can Bee” banners for a bee motif and add sunflowers or yellow daisies to your floral arrangements.

You can serve honey cakes or honey-sweetened lemonade and prepare a fruit salad drizzled with honey together with a cheese board that features various types of honey.

Perfect choices for baked treats are cookies shaped like bees, cupcakes with yellow frosting and honey-flavored desserts. 

Sunflower Baby Shower

The theme revolves around naturally uplifting and cheerful quality of sunflowers.

Sunshine will fill the room with balloon garlands of yellow and white possibly accented with brown or gold. Big bold sunflowers standing out from a backdrop of faux greenery would create a stunning display.

Consider burlap table runners and galvanized tin pails with sunflowers as centerpieces together with fairy light strings.

Sunflower-decorated buttercream or fondant cakes are essential. The combination of themed cookies and cupcakes centers together with a naked cake decorated with fresh sunflowers creates beautiful desserts.

Lemon Baby Shower

The fresh and zesty lemon baby shower is perfect for any summer shower celebration.

Craft balloon garlands by mixing yellow, white, and clear balloons containing faux lemon slices inside. Use bowls filled with fresh lemons together with garlands and floral displays of yellow and white blooms surrounded by plenty of greenery for decoration.

Yellow and white gingham or striped tablecloths should be used to decorate.

Drinks and desserts will stand out when presented at a lemonade stand-style. The best dessert options include lemon bars, lemon tarts, lemon macarons and cupcakes topped with lemon zest frosting.

Under The Sea Baby Shower

Explore a sea of adorable moments through “Under the Sea” baby shower.

Choose aqua, teal, navy blue with seafoam green and sandy beige while adding coral accents and bright colors to represent fish and coral. Design a centerpiece that looks like a coral reef using fake coral pieces and artificial seaweed. Blue cellophane could be used to produce a watery backdrop effect.

Guests can enjoy seafood-based appetizers such as shrimp cocktail or crab dip at this event if they are suitable for both the expectant mother and attendees. 

For cookies use sea creatures shaped cookies and blue frosted cupcakes topped with seashell decorations.

Butterfly Garden Baby Shower

Welcome your little butterfly with the enchanting beauty of a delicate Butterfly garden theme.

Create balloon garlands using soft pastel colors that feature large butterfly cutouts or attach Mylar balloons. Drape tables with soft, flowing fabrics. Fill your space with numerous floral details including both real flowers and high-quality silk flowers.

The cake can feature a design of cascading sugar butterflies or a watercolor painting of floral and butterfly patterns. Consider serving cucumber sandwiches alongside butterfly-shaped melon fruit skewers and mini cupcakes draped in floral frosting.

Treat your guests with cookies shaped like butterflies or pastel macarons alongside cupcakes topped with wafer butterfly wings.

Boho Chic Baby Shower

Boho chic baby shower is perfect for the free spirited mama-to-be!

You can decorate with a beautiful balloon garland combining muted shades of blush along with beige and rose gold accents. Don’t forget to add table runners and macrame wall hangings, they are must. Include pampas grass with dried flowers and eucalyptus in your arrangements.

The boho style table features a range of cheeses and cured meats along with fruits, nuts, olives and artisan breads. Guests can sip on herb and fruit-infused water or kombucha for drinks.

After party, guests can take home macrame keychains, bundles of sage or artisanal soaps as favors.

Floral Baby Shower

Flowers are such a timeless choice for a baby shower, they can be used along with other themes to host a unique baby shower.

For a romantic atmosphere choose soft pastels such as blush, lavender and cream while vibrant pinks, corals, yellows and greens can be used for a more lively atmosphere. For a dreamy look, decorate with beautiful arch of either faux flowers or real flowers.

Create lush floral centerpieces for the table and use floral print tablecloths, runners or plates. Cookies with floral patterns and macarons decorated with fine floral designs will look amazing.

And the menu should include edible flowers and maintain a garden-inspired freshness.

Tropical Paradise / Aloha Baby Shower

Welcome the little one with a vibrant and lush Tropical Paradise baby shower! 

Choose bright green shades alongside hot pink contrasts and sunny yellow tones with ocean blue backgrounds plus pops of orange and coral accents. Use lots of faux (or real, if you can get them!) palm leaves, monstera leaves, and hibiscus flowers.

Drape tables with brightly colored fabric or even a raffia table skirt. And don’t forget to add pineapple and flamingo for classic tropical touches. 

The menu should feature coconut shrimp and Hawaiian pulled pork sliders along with chicken skewers glazed in pineapple sauce to match the theme. Cupcakes decorated with tiny paper umbrellas and coconut cream pie will be delicious dessert choices.

Safari Adventure Baby Shower

A Safari-themed baby shower offers an adventurous and fun way to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a “Wild One”.

Earthy colors like khaki and olive green should be used along with beige and brown and add animal print elements such as leopard and zebra with accents of sunset oranges or yellows. Also place assorted plush safari animals including lions, tigers, elephants, and giraffes throughout the party space.

Table runners and accents can be made from animal print fabric. Old suitcases along with safari hats and binoculars serve as excellent prop choices.

The food options may include “jungle juice” (green punch), “animal crackers,” “zebra” cakes that mix chocolate and vanilla swirls together, fruit skewers named “jungle vines,” and sandwiches shaped into animal figures.

Peachy Gorgeous Baby Shower

Choose “Our Little Peach is on the Way” or “Sweet as a Peach” to create a sweet summer celebration theme.

Decorate with balloon garlands that feature tones of peach and coral with white accents and potentially gold highlights. You can use plenty of fresh or faux peach blossoms mixed with greenery to elevate the peachy vibes.

Cover tables with peach-toned soft flowing fabrics. Clear vases filled with fresh peaches make excellent centerpieces or you can choose beautiful floral arrangements in peach and cream. 

Peach-flavored desserts like pie alongside cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and peach-shaped cookies would make delightful treats.

Pineapple Baby Shower

Go all out with pineapple power with this tropical baby shower theme! 

Choose bright yellow colors with vibrant greens and small amounts of gold or brown. Pinks and teals can be used to bring tropical feel to the event. Decorate with oversized “BABY” letter balloons. Place real pineapples as table centerpieces or customize them with gold paint or transform them into vases by hollowing them out.

Create a delicious menu that features pineapple salsa as well as pineapple chicken skewers and a tropical fruit platter heavy with pineapple pieces alongside ham and pineapple bites.

Ready to Pop Baby Shower

This theme celebrates the beautiful baby bump that is nearly ready to deliver a bundle of joy!

The color combination of royal blue, gold, and white with accents of pink or yellow works well with this theme.

Use balloon clusters as centerpieces or design a balloon backdrop with different-sized balloons that resemble “popping” effects. You can use popcorn boxes to store snacks or to create small arrangements with flowers.

Create a popcorn bar featuring flavors like butter, caramel, and cheese along with small round pizzas or round items that produce a “pop” effect to serve the guests.

Baby in Bloom Baby Shower

The theme revolves around blossoming flowers and new beginnings celebrating both new life and the growing expectant mother. 

Flowers, flowers everywhere! Choose between soft pastel colors such as blush pink and mint green while exploring vibrant floral options based on seasonal trends and personal taste. Create a dreamy atmosphere with elegant white canopy with pastel floral arrangements. Decorative watering cans showcasing flowers or seed packet will lift the blooming theme.

Consider elegant floral centerpieces with floral garlands and a stunning flower wall or arch backdrop for photographs.

This theme provides a colorful way to celebrate the arrival of the newborn baby.

You can throw in all the colors of rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue indigo and violet) to make the celebration as vibrant as possible. Rainbow balloon garland and clouds are a must for this theme.

Your table decor options include centerpieces with flowers that showcase rainbow colors together with jars that hold colorful candies. The rainbow fruit platter features strawberries, oranges, pineapple, kiwi along with blueberries and purple grapes.

Your drink options can include layered colorful juices or Rainbow Sherbet Punch.

BBQ Baby Shower

A “Baby Q” (BBQ) shower is an excellent option for a relaxed and enjoyable summer celebration.

The classic BBQ color scheme features red and white gingham accents along with denim blue which should include bright pops of yellow or green. If you have enough room and love rustic decor, hay bales along with bandanas for table use and galvanized drink tubs will provide a country-inspired touch.

Your BBQ menu should include burgers along with hot dogs and choices of grilled chicken or ribs while serving corn on the cob plus potato salad side dishes and baked beans and watermelon slices.

Traditional outdoor games such as cornhole, giant Jenga, and horseshoes make great entertainment options for the guest.

Fruity Baby Shower

Why choose a single fruit when you can enjoy all your favorites together? A “Fruity Baby Shower” offers vibrant colors while being the ideal choice for celebrating summer.

Consider using strawberry reds together with orange oranges, lemon yellows, lime greens, blueberry blues, and grape purples.

An overflowing fruit and flower market stall will provide an outstanding inspiration for designing the focal point of a dessert or food table setup! Beautiful bowls or baskets can be used as centerpieces filled with a combination of real and artificial fruits.

Savory dishes can include a berry salad with citrus vinaigrette or chicken served with mango salsa.
