When it comes to Baby showers, there are literally hundreds of themes to choose from. When it comes to Baby Shower ideas for girls, you can take most of those themes, add a touch of pink or girliness to the theme, and you have yourself a baby girl shower!
Baby Shower Themes For Girls
Having a general theme in mind will help direct your planning. It helps you to focus and it leads you into a specific direction.
When you have a theme, decoration becomes easier. So when you find yourself in a party store, for example, you will know exactly what kind of decorative items to buy, as opposed to buying everything that seems cute. The theme itself guides you and helps you choose colors, baby shower foods perhaps and general decor.
Some of the most popular baby shower themes for girls are:
- Princess;
- Boho Chic;
- Mermaid;
- Unicorn;
- Woodland (this is a neutral theme but you can include elements to make it a baby girl shower);
- Modern Tea Party;
- Fashion;
- Butterfly;
- Paris;
- Tutu cute;
- What a doll;
- Sugar and spice;
- Tickled pink;
- Little Lady;
- Ladybug;
- Sew Cute (this is a neutral theme but you can include elements to make it a baby girl shower);
- Glamorous Circus;

- All that glitters;
- Ready to pop;
- Elephant theme (pink or purple);
- Owl theme (pink or purple).
But this article is not about a specific theme. Instead, it is about enhancing any theme you have already chosen.
Below are several awesome baby shower ideas for girls, that would complement your existing baby girl shower ideas.
Girl Baby Shower Decorations
Flowers are amazing for decorating a baby shower. If you are on a budget, however, you’d need to go with artificial flowers that you can buy from the Dollar Store or stores like Michaels, etc.
If you are going after this look, all you would need to do is tape your faux flowers onto the wall with washi tape.
Girl baby shower decorations need not be elaborate. Simple and elegant can be very classy and impressive.
Instead of buying items especially to decorate your baby girl shower, consider buying decor items that you can reuse later, like the candles and the baby girl clothes in this image. As for candlesticks, you could buy cheap dollar store candlesticks and spray paint them in your color of choice.
Baby clothes and stuffed animals (that will be reused) also make a great backdrop for your baby shower table.

Faux flowers are the next best thing, but another option is to make your own coffee filter flowers or pom poms. Here is a helpful tutorial on how to make your own coffee filter pom poms.

Baby shower banners are great and you could absolutely make this yourself. All you would need is card stock paper, a color printer and pretty ribbon.

Baby Shower Ideas For Girls – Treat & Drinks
Putting pink candies in a clear bowl does not cost extra. It just looks fancy because the candies are sorted, and they are in “unusual” bowls. (Who said small fish bowls couldn’t be fancy.) Use this idea to add an extra spark to your baby girl shower.
You can also make regular baby shower desserts look spectacular, and therefore more memorable to your guests.
Marshmallow ballerinas are so adorable and quite easy to make too. You could offer these as a dessert or as your baby shower favors.
Marshmallows Pops look fancy and expensive, and they will certainly impress your guests. Instead of buying these beauties, make them yourself at a fraction of the cost.
Rice Krispie treats with chocolate are also an easy DIY dessert. All you would need is pink candy melts and Rice Krispie Treats. Once you have cut up your Rice Krispie Treats, dip half in melted pink candy melts, and lay them on parchment paper to set. For the little extra design, you can drizzle the melted candy melts over the dipped Rice Krispie Treats. Perfect!
You could also decorate simple containers with ribbon and fancy stickers. This little added touch makes whatever is inside look extra special.
When it comes to baby shower drinks, it is very common to serve pink punch or pink drinks at a baby girl shower, but this is up to you. Here’s a helpful post about baby shower punch and refreshments.
It is also quite adorable to serve your drinks in baby bottles, (which you can get at the dollar store), or you can go the traditional (but also very practical) route and serve it in a punch bowl.
Baby Girl Shower Ideas – Favors

How adorable! These are old baby food jars (but you could use any small jars you have access to.) If you would like to replicate these baby shower favors, you’d:
- remove the paper labels and clean the jars;
- spray paint the lids in the color of your theme;
- glue miniature crowns to the lids.
To make these little diaper favors, you’ll need pink napkins, pink safety pins, and candies to fill the little diapers. They’re super easy to make – simply fold each napkin into a triangle, fold the corners in so that it looks like a diaper, and tie it with a safety pin. The little baby girl stickers you can get from Amazon or Etsy. And Viola!
Themed favor boxes like these are awesome because (1) they’re themed and can fit nicely into your existing baby shower decor; and (2) they look expensive but they’re actually quite cheap. A few other themes you can choose from are elephant, nautical, Aztec tribal, and the ever popular woodland theme.
