What Are Spring Baby Shower Ideas?
Spring Baby Shower Invitations
Baby shower invitations are a great way to set the tone and aesthetic of your baby shower well before the big day arrives. They allow you to share the color and vibe. Here are some invitation ideas for inspiration.
Keep in mind that it’s totally acceptable these days to send either an e-vite or a physical invitation in the mail. I personally love the convenience of an e-vite (and, importantly, how easy it is to track RSVPs!), but there’s something to be said about a lovely paper invitation. Choose whichever option works best for you!
And regardless of which type of invitations you choose, be sure to set up your baby registry if you haven’t already. You’ll need to include your baby registry details on your invitations. I highly recommend Babylist.
Floral Watercolor Invitations
Elegant and timeless, watercolor flowers in soft pinks, yellows, or greens make a beautiful first impression. Pair them with gold accents for a classy finish.
Bunny-Themed Invitations
Perfect for a playful, spring-inspired vibe! Use adorable bunny illustrations and soft pastel colors like pastel peach, pink, blue, or mint green.
“Baby in Bloom” Invitations
Highlight your baby’s “blooming” arrival with floral-themed invites. Include a cute rhyme like, “Join us as we celebrate the sweetest bloom of all!”
Wildflower Seed Packet Invitations
Get creative with functional invitations! Attach wildflower seed packets for guests to plant as a memory of the day.
Garden Party Tea Invitations
Use vintage-inspired fonts and garden graphics like teacups, butterflies, or roses. Include a line like “A spring tea party to celebrate a little one on the way!”
Baby Bird or Nest Invitations
Birds and nests are symbolic of spring and new life. Add nest graphics with a caption like, “A sweet baby is ready to hatch!”
Spring Baby Shower Decorations
Set the scene with gorgeous spring-inspired decor that wows your guests!
Baby Shower Welcome Sign
As a first order of business for baby shower decorations, I recommend starting with a baby shower welcome sign as it sets the tone for the whole aesthetic. Here are a few ideas for spring-themed baby shower welcome signs.
Floral Balloon Arch
Combine pastel balloons and silk or fresh flowers for a stunning photo backdrop.
I am a huge fan of balloon garlands because they can make such a big statement when it comes to your decorations. They can also work very well as a photo backdrop, hanging over a food or gift table, or hanging in a doorway that guests will walk through.
Wildflower Centerpieces
Use mason jars filled with wildflowers or daisies as rustic and charming table decor.
Hanging Paper Lanterns
Hang pastel-colored lanterns from ceilings or trees for a whimsical touch.
Butterfly Garlands
Decorate tables and walls with delicate butterfly garlands. Pair with floral accents for a soft, magical look.
Baby’s Breath Wreaths
Hang wreaths of baby’s breath on chairs or walls for an airy, ethereal effect.
Pastel Table Settings
Use pastel tablecloths, napkins, and plates for a soft, spring-inspired setup.
Flower Wall Backdrop
Create a photo wall using faux flowers in pinks, whites, and greens.
I also love this photo backdrop with a boho aesthetic, which works great for spring baby shower decorations. If you want to see more boho baby shower ideas, be sure to check out this other article I wrote with 34 Boho Baby Shower Ideas here.
Here are a few more ideas to inspire decorations for your spring baby shower.
Spring Baby Shower Desserts
Sweet treats are a must-have! Incorporate spring colors, flowers, and fresh flavors.
Floral Cupcakes
Top vanilla or lemon cupcakes with edible flowers like pansies or violets. You can also pipe buttercream flowers for a gorgeous look.
Lemon Drizzle Cake
A light, zesty lemon drizzle cake screams spring. Decorate it with fresh flowers, greenery, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
For any cake or cupcake for your spring themed baby shower, you could use a cute cake topper or cupcake topper that fits in with your theme.
Bunny-Shaped Cookies
Sugar cookies shaped like bunnies or baby chicks are both festive and adorable. Decorate with pastel icing for a colorful spring touch.
Cherry Blossom Cake
Create an elegant cake with cherry blossom decorations. Use soft pink fondant flowers climbing the sides for a simple but show-stopping centerpiece.
Mini Fruit Tarts
Fresh berries and custard-filled tarts are perfect for spring. Top with mint leaves for a colorful, elegant bite-sized dessert.
Bird’s Nest Cupcakes
Pipe toasted coconut “nests” on top of cupcakes and fill them with candy eggs for a springtime masterpiece.
Macaron Tower
A pastel-colored macaron tower adds sophistication to the dessert table. Flavors like lavender, lemon, and strawberry are perfect for spring.
Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Nothing says spring quite like a moist, spiced carrot cake. Add cream cheese frosting and a rustic “naked cake” finish.
Spring Baby Shower Food
Spring food is all about light, fresh, and delicious options. Here is some inspiration for you to plan the perfect menu.
Tea Sandwiches
Offer cucumber, egg salad, and smoked salmon sandwiches on crustless, dainty slices of bread. Add edible flowers for a fancy touch.

Thread colorful fruit like strawberries, pineapple, and melon onto skewers. Serve with a yogurt or honey dip for a refreshing snack.
