21 Celebrity Baby Shower Themes That Are So Good, They're Worth Stealing
Celebrity baby showers are like regular moms' baby showers, except way, way, fancier. But are they really? Sure, famous people have the money, the connections, and the creative chops to throw themselves (or their friends) extravagant celebrations -- not to mention the social media following to make said showers go viral. But it's easier than one might expect to throw an on-point, on-theme, Instagram-worthy baby shower before an expectant mom's little one makes his or her debut. All that's needed is a general color scheme, some decorations, a few snacks, some mocktails ... and hey, a photo booth for taking bump pics (it never hurts, right?).
There is plenty of baby shower inspiration to be had from celebrity mamas. Whether it's a sports theme for a little guy, an over-the-top princess soiree for a daughter, or even a low-key pajama party -- which two members of the Kardashian clan executed flawlessly, by the way -- there are tons of ideas to consider for a baby shower. Even a baby's due date can lend itself to a fun theme as a number of celeb moms have proven over the years. (We're looking at you, Blake Lively.)
Here's a look at some clever and totally achievable baby shower themes celebrity moms -- like Chrissy Teigen, Joanna Gaines, and even Cardi B, to name a few -- opted for when they were expecting, plus a few details about what made them so perfect.
Who knows, the design light bulb might go off that just might inspire a mom-to-be or two to give one of these ideas a try.
(It can't hurt, right?)
McDonald's-Themed Baby Shower
Did somebody say McDonald's?
Why yes, an expectant mom can have her fancy flowers and her McDonald's, too! Kim Kardashian threw Chrissy Teigen a baby shower in honor of her daughter Luna back in 2016, complete with Big Macs and all the fast food this mom-to-be craved.
McDonald's-Themed Baby Shower
Guests dined on a Mickey D's buffet at Chrissy Teigen's baby shower held at bestie Kim Kardashian's Bel Air mansion. (Yes, beloved treats from McDonald's breakfast menu were also present and accounted for.)
Honestly, is there anything more quintessential to pregnancy than greasy fast food?
Pajama-Themed Baby Shower
Kim Kardashian might be known for loving high fashion, but that doesn't mean she won't unwind sometimes. To celebrate the upcoming arrival of Saint West, Kim had a star-studded pajama baby shower that would make anyone want to enjoy a little rest and relaxation.
Pajama-Themed Baby Shower
Like sister, like sister? Years after Kim Kardashian's pajama-themed baby shower, Kylie Jenner kept up the pajama-themed baby shower tradition with one of her own to celebrate little Stormi. It's definitely cozy — and cute!
Pajama-Themed Baby Shower
Kylie and her guests celebrated baby girl Stormi's arrival with a pink flower wall for photo ops, a onesie-making table, and silky PJ sets for each guest.
Book-Themed Baby Shower
Fixer Upper star Joanna Gaines's "baby's got books" celebration for her and Chip's fifth child, baby boy Crew Gaines, was as picturesque as the homes they flip.
(PS: How ah-dorable is that setup of books and balloons?!)
Book-Themed Baby Shower
Former Glee star Naya Rivera also had a book-themed soiree for her and now ex-husband Ryan Dorsey's son, Josie. The best part of the decor? The sheet cake designed in honor of the children's classic story, I Love You Forever.
Now that's sweet!
Autumn-Themed Baby Shower
Blake Lively once shared a series of photos from her autumnal-themed baby shower that are just perfect for Pinterest, TBH.
'Heaven Sent' Baby Shower
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt celebrated their bundle of joy on the way with a "heaven sent" baby shower that was dreamy and full of so much love in more ways than one.
'Heaven Sent' Baby Shower
Heidi Montag's "heaven sent"-themed baby shower focused on a simple color palette (blue and white) that translated throughout the whole event in an effortless way. Floral centerpieces and linens (think tablecloths and napkins) are great ways to pull out colors.
Fairy Tale-Themed Baby Shower
Cardi B's baby shower for her daughter Kulture was a Bronx-inspired fairy tale that paid homage to the Love & Hip Hop New York alum's Big Apple roots. There was a "Bardi Baby Bodega" stocked with diapers and bottles (cute!), and a "Bardi Baby Book Library" that featured classic reads for the rapper's little one. The wicker chairs adorned with pink and white floral arrangements added an extra touch to Cardi and husband Offset's special day, making it truly unforgettable.
Safari-Themed Baby Shower
Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel paid homage to her South African roots with a safari-themed shower to celebrate her first son, Anaca.
(PS: How cute are those oversized stuffed animals?)
'Breakfast at Tiffany's'-Themed Baby Shower
In 2014, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick welcomed their third child, a son named Reign. But before he made his grand debut, the mom-to-be celebrated him with a Breakfast at Tiffany's-themed shower.
'Breakfast at Tiffany's'-Themed Baby Shower
In true Kardashian fashion, the themed decor for Kourtney's Breakfast at Tiffany's baby shower was spot-on — with robin's egg blue place settings, and mini tiaras placed in Tiffany's gift boxes for each guest.
(PS: The Audrey Hepburn classic is Kourt's favorite film!)
Sports-Themed Baby Shower
Given Jessie James Decker's hubby Eric Decker is an NFL wide receiver, it's really no surprise they had a sports-themed baby shower in 2015 for their son, Eric Decker II. The then mom-to-be showed off her shower design on Instagram, complete with "referee" chairs, sports pillows, a fun football cake topper, and some oversized pastel flowers — because why not?
Bohemian-Themed Baby Shower
Tia Mowry opted to go "boho" for her baby shower in honor of her and husband Cory Hardrict's daughter. Famed decorator Mindy Weiss brought the event to life with stylish and natural elements to celebrate the future arrival of their daughter Cairo.
Bohemian-Themed Baby Shower
Tia Mowry's bohemian-themed baby shower included wooden accessories, twinkly lights, and pink candles that really pulled everything together.
Luau-Themed Baby Shower
Back in 2016, Tess Holliday went all out for her baby shower/housewarming luau in honor of her baby on the way. Aloha!
Luau-Themed Baby Shower
Cupcakes spelled out "Aloha baby" at Tess Holliday's baby shower. The mama-to-be wore a pineapple in her hair and kept the theme going with a tropical manicure. The whole thing was gender-neutral, as Tess and her fiance didn't know they were having a boy until Rylee was born.
Pink-Themed Baby Shower
Khloé Kardashian hands down wins the award for best pink baby shower inspiration. Wow, oh wow was her gathering — complete with "over 45,000" flowers — over-the-top in the most elegant of ways. It was truly a work of art that looked more like a Hollywood event than a get-together for a baby — and we'd expect nothing less.
Blue-Themed Baby Shower
If pink-themed baby showers are a thing, it's only natural to have a few blue-inspired events — and that's exactly what Peta Murgatroyd did. The Dancing With the Stars pro and her co-star/hubby Maksim Chmerkovskiy celebrated the pending arrival of their son Shai with a blue-themed baby shower, complete with balloon arrangements, decor, and treats in honor of the primary color.
Denim-Themed Baby Shower
The former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky had a "sprinkle" for her denim baby shower to celebrate her and husband Kevin Manno's second child, son Riley. Cutout denim pockets held the flatware at all the tables, while blue and white florals adorned the room. And let's not forget the photo booth, where woven strips of denim fabric served as the backdrop.
So cute!
Retro-Themed Baby Shower
Talk about throwing it back in the cutest of ways! Serena Williams's squad hosted a '50s-inspired baby shower for the tennis pro that did not disappoint. How can anyone go wrong with swing dresses?
Retro-Themed Baby Shower
Guests at Serena Williams's baby shower enjoyed their time at "Baby O's diner" to commemorate Serena and hubby Alexis Ohanian's daughter, Alexis Ohanian Jr. Everything from the checkered flooring to the classic jukebox made her retro shindig even more enjoyable.
'Diaper Keg' Baby Shower
Chelsea DeBoer of Teen Mom 2 had a rustic "diaper keg"-themed gathering while pregnant with her and Cole DeBoer's son, Watson. And yes, it was as lively and colorful as it sounds.
Tea Party-Themed Baby Shower
Jessica Alba was all smiles at her tea party-inspired shower in December 2017 to honor her third child, son Hayes. Her soiree was full of fanciful accents, tasty bites, and, of course, tea! Both the mom-to-be and her guests dressed up in outfits fit for a tea party that looked like a good time.
African-Themed Baby Shower
Beyoncé did not disappoint with her African-themed baby shower in May 2017 to celebrate the future arrival of twins Rumi and Sir. Coined "The Carter Push Party," the star-studded event had a casual vibe but lots of swag — and style!
African-Themed Baby Shower
One way to mimic Beyonc—'s baby shower is by stocking up on African-inspired textiles — to wear and decorate. Queen Bey's special event featured rich cloths on the walls and floors that mixed and matched prints. There were also buffet-style stations, likely with foods that reflected the theme.
All-White Baby Shower
Who says all-white parties are only for the Hamptons? Ciara, her hubby Russell Wilson, and her now 4-year-old kiddo, son Future Jr., were all visions in white during her all-white baby shower in 2017 to celebrate the upcoming arrival of her daughter with the NFL quarterback, Sienna Princess.
Black-and-White Baby Shower
Though her attire didn't reflect the theme, Coco Austin had a ball at her black-and-white baby shower in 2015 that was styled by none other than celebrity event planner David Tutera. Let's see, there was a black-and-white cake, black-and-white flooring, black-and-white photo props, and black-and-white linens (with hints of red throughout the room).
Mission accomplished.
"Gay-By" Baby Shower
In 2013, Fergie's gay best friends celebrated the pending arrival of her son Axl with a "gayby" shower. Unconventional in name, but tons of fun in execution, this baby shower featured burlesque dancers dressed in drag, margaritas, tons of celebrity guests, and a photo booth with fun props -- making this one g-l-a-m-o-r-o-u-s (and f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s) shindig.
