7 Baby Shower Themes You’ll See Popping Up On Your Timeline in 2025.

Like baby gear styles and nursery designs, baby shower trends change and evolve. Just look at a photo of a baby shower from the year you were born, and I guarantee the vibe will be wildly different from what you’d consider for your own shower (though I’m an advocate for bringing back gift-wrapping hats). While some themes have staying power and have elevated to classic status (like the Baby in Bloom theme; see below), newer themes are a reflection of what’s happening around us, popular interests or individual style. 

For 2025, according to my crystal ball and years of experience in the baby space (plus, I’m a certified professional scroller), baby shower trends will include seasonal themes like springtime and winter, playful fruit-based themes and pop culture-inspired ideas. The best part of these emerging trends is that you can really make them your own. From the color palette you choose to how grandiose you want to go, there is space to put your own spin on them. 

If you’re searching for inspo to spark some cool ideas for your own shower or planning one for a loved one, these are the baby shower trends that’ll be dominating in 2025.

Baby in Bloom

While this theme isn’t new, it’s a classic that is easy to customize with your personality and unique touches. Last year’s version of Baby in Bloom included tons of natural colors like sage greens, baby blues and soft pinks to give an airy spring has sprung feel. What I’m seeing for next year is a swap for bolder, brighter colors like juicy oranges, deep indigo and vibrant magentas. Of course, if the maximalist look isn’t up your alley, you can still opt for the more natural colors and even go as far as all neutrals with flowers like baby’s breath and lilies. When it comes to favors, we love the flower bar idea (I did this for my own baby shower and my guests loved it) or you can go for other flower-themed goodies like rose-shaped soaps or flower seeds for your guests to plant at home.

Taylor Swift Theme

Calling all Swifties—this is the theme you’ve been searching for. This unique theme can be completely customized while still drawing in the essence of Taylor Swift. You can choose one of the eras to focus on or go for a more general T-Swift look that encompasses the most popular aspects of the star and her music. The more specific version of this theme I’m seeing bubble up the most is Enchanted to Meet You, a play on the song “Enchanted” from her album Speak Now. This theme has a backdrop of pinks and purples with touches of sparkly glam. The perfect favor for any version of a Taylor Swift theme is friendship bracelets, which your guests can either make at your shower as a fun activity or you can premake them as a cute parting gift.

Oh Boy

Expecting a baby boy? This theme will really celebrate the arrival of your little guy and, because it's more of a loose theme, you can use whatever comes to mind to bring it to life. I’ve seen this theme done with classic powder blue and creamy white colors as the main focal point, or, to bring in a bit of the parents-to-be's style, you can add in blue bows or dainty florals for added decor. And since this theme isn’t as specific as others on our list, your favors can truly run the spectrum. You can stick with something on-color scheme with blue candies or treats or give out cute little votive candles.

Mama to Bee

Bee-themed showers are becoming more trendy because they are relatively easy to put together, whether you want to dive deep into party planning or keep it simple. And since it’s gender-neutral, you can use it even if you’re team green. To bring it to life, you can deck out your party space with warm ambers, yellows and cream colors with sprinkles of black and for themed favors, you can offer tiny honey pots.

A New Chapter

Commemorate your new chapter of parenthood with this adorable storybook theme. My favorite part of this theme is that you can use classic children’s books to create your decor and food spread. You can use classic children’s books as the foundation of your decor, plus once the party is over, you can use those books to start your baby’s first library. And for favors, you can download a customizable bookmark to print and share with your guests.

A Berry Sweet Baby is on the Way

Fruit-themed showers are still super popular and we don’t see that changing anytime soon. While the fruit may shift (last year, oranges were the hot frut), there is something irresistibly adorable about a fruity-themed shower and birthday celebration. For the Berry Sweet Baby theme, the foundation is the vibrant red color of strawberries. From there, you can go a few different directions like incorporating wicker and gingham prints for a summery picnic vibe or add in some pink colors for Strawberry Shortcake spin. For favors, you can give out miniature jars of strawberry jams or strawberry seed kits.

Heaven on Earth

With a similar feel to the On Cloud 9 theme that was popular in 2024, the Heaven on Earth theme uses the same light blue and crisp white palette for a fresh, delicate look. While this can be a great theme for parents expecting a boy, it can also be a gender-neutral option too.
