Bumble Bee Baby Shower Ideas

If you are looking for a cute baby shower theme that is perfect for a
Spring or Summer baby shower, check out these unique ideas from Enchanted Events & Design.



This was actually a bumblebee birthday party but can easily be used for a baby shower theme. I just love the bumblebee cake pops and the cookie pops! You can find the cake pops tutorial on their site.




The use of neutral colors makes this a great theme for either a baby boy or girl. The favors and decorations used are perfectly matched and simple to recreate.

Spring Themed Baby Shower Ideas

Spring is finally here! This is such a beautiful time of year. Flowers blooming, baby animals being born, and perfect weather! And the perfect time to start planning your Spring baby shower for the that new bundle of joy you are expecting.

Some great Spring baby shower theme ideas include bunnies, chicks, baby ducklings, honey bees, and bright flowers. No one can resist adorable baby animals!

Dress up your tables with these cute party favors that can also make a great thank you gift for your baby shower guests.

These adorable baby animals seed packets serve double duty. They are available with many baby animal design choices and you will be giving your guests a living memory of your baby shower with the beautiful wildflowers they will grow.



If your guests are not into gardening, the baby animal designs are also available on purse-sized tissue packs, travel candle tins, gum boxes, lemonade mix, and favor boxes, just to name a few.



Use these adorable favors for a "Cute as Can Bee" baby shower.


These beehive candles and yummy jars of clover honey will be a big hit with your guests! Serve some delicious scones and iced tea as part of your menu.



My favorite are these beautiful Gerbera Daisy favor boxes. The brightly colored daisies is a perfect addition to a floral themed shower. Fill them with colorful jelly beans or pastel M&M's for a spectacular little gift for your guests.



Add our Spring Blooms diaper cake for a perfect table centerpiece!



No matter which Spring theme you use, decorate with pastel colors and bright flowers. Since the weather is so beautiful at this time of year, consider having the shower outside. Serve light foods, such as seasonal salads, finger sandwiches, and fruits.
