Girl moms don’t get to have all the fun! You can go in any direction while planning the perfect boy mom shower. Put your own twist on a traditional boy baby shower theme (yes, cars, trucks, and things that go vroom can be done tastefully) or your boy baby shower decorations can veer into the less conventional (gold and glitter, anyone?). No matter what your boy baby shower theme, unexpected details that fit the mom-to-be’s personality will make her day extra special. Here are some of our favorite ideas for boy baby shower decorations...

String up some itty-bitty baby clothes in front of the cake display table or anywhere else that could use a fun “banner.” This is a cute way to say “baby shower” without the typical decor items or motifs. Another baby shower idea is to lay out a stack with markers or fabric paint and have guests decorate them before eating. Then, string the onesies up to include these little projects as part of the decor for the rest of the party.

Having a smattering of tropical sprigs peeking out among your colorfully in-tune balloons is a great way to drive home the theme without needing to use too many animals and other large pieces. Although, if you do happen to have a human-sized giraffe laying around, by all means, employ him!

Girl mommies don’t have claim to all the pastels, right? A soft-hued, blue-and-green balloon display is timelessly sweet for boy baby shower decorations.
