Sweet Spring | Woodland Animals Pink Floral
The woodland baby shower theme is a wonderful option for those looking for baby shower ideas that are not over the top with color - and have more of a rustic, natural look.
Parents can't get enough of the woodland trend for just about everything, including baby showers, nurseries, and first birthday parties. It’s cute, it’s neutral, and it’s so easy to set up. There is also so much you can do in terms of decor! It's easy to pull off the woodland theme and make it stand out, with endless clever ways to bring the outdoors in. From wood slab accents and pops of arrows or flannel to the sweetest cakes any creature has ever seen. Plus, if mom-to-be is planning her baby's room around this adorable vibe, these ideas and accents can be repurposed as nursery decor for an even more sentimental feel. Just think of how perfect that rustic teepee would work both for the party decor and as a gift for baby to enjoy for years to come.
The first thing you’ll want to do is create an inviting space for the guests and little woodland creatures! For a quick way to dress up tables, use animal track rubber stamps on kraft paper for easy and impressive tablecloths. Create a pretty pinecone garland to drape on the sides of tables to make guests feel like they’re in the middle of a forest. Take some extra pinecones and dip them in paint that match your theme’s colors and place in mason jars for another quick decoration that makes a beautiful table centerpiece.
Of course, don’t forget about the cake! The cake will be the centerpiece of the food table and there are so many options to go with a woodland themed shower. Nothing beats the minimal look of a woodland-themed baby shower cake! After frosting, you can top the cake with cute little forest creatures and rosemary greenery, or you can add cute woodland cake toppers.
Round out the food table with other hearty snacks and food that guests can nibble away at, with treats like hedgehog cheese balls, pinwheels or mini sandwiches topped off with cute little forest trees, or “mushroom pops” that are almost too cute to eat! Just stick a paper straw in the top of a cleaned strawberry and display upside down for yummy “mushrooms” the guests will love! Another quick addition to the food table is a big bowl full of trail mix. Guests can scoop out this treat in little cups or mini bowls and snack away. To keep with the rustic vibes you could even set up a chili bar. And for guests to take home don’t forget the s’mores!
The key to creating a beautiful and memorable woodland baby shower is to model what already works. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. The woodland baby shower theme is extremely popular, so there is a lot of inspiration for you to draw from. Pick the ideas that truly speak to you, and model them.
