Are you looking for ideas for cute baby boy showers? If you are, then here are some inspiring ideas that you can try out.
It is a wonderful time to celebrate. I want you to amaze your guests and wow your family by going all out with the ideas below.
Invitations
The first thing that you should plan is guest list and the invitations.
It’s a boy and so the colors or theme need to be blue or have cute blue-colored prints.
Choose envelopes of the same color to match. And even if it is painstaking to do, make your own invitations. Your guests will love a handmade invitation compared to a store-bought one.
So treat your guests to a creative invite made with your own hands!
Venue
Aside from the cake, you should have your baby boy showers should in a proper venue. The venue should give you have the freedom to decorate it to match the theme.
There should be plenty of blue balloons of different hues. But keep the colors in sync with the cake colors. You may also use blue and white ribbons, blue onesies and anything else blue.
Cake
There are so many great cake ideas to choose from.
Since we are planning a baby boy party then the cake should definitely have a blue motif. If you’re feeling fancy, make your cake with several layers of blue cake and blue icing.
Boy-themed cakes can have cute decorations like cars, balls, sugar balloons, and bears. Even blue cartoonish angels sitting on each tier.
The mom-to-be should have a say on what particular shade of blue will be the best to use. But if she is still overwhelmed with the fact she is having a baby, then let the dad take over and decide!
And if you would like to give your guests a piece of your baby shower cake, why not a cake made of lots of small cupcakes? Of course, each cupcake should have blue frosted icing on top!
