Are you planning a spring or summer baby shower? If so, the berry sweet baby shower theme is an adorable one to consider! You can use any type of berry as your main focus, from strawberries to blueberries – but for the purpose of this guide we’ll zero in on the strawberry.
Berry Sweet Color Palette
Someone berry sweet is on the way, so let’s celebrate by choosing a color palette with shades of pinks and reds. Using pops of green will really balance everything out as well.
Berry Sweet Baby Shower Invitations
Sent the tone right away with your guests by sending out berry sweet invitations! I love grabbing invitations from small businesses on Etsy, but you can easily customize them and print them out yourself. They’re adorable and they usually include thank you cards, diaper raffle cards, etc.
Berry Sweet Decorations
Transform your venue into a berry patch wonderland! Here are some decor ideas to consider:
- Color Palette: Stick to shades of red, pink, blue, and green for a cohesive look.
- Berry Banners: Create garlands with cutouts of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, or string up fresh berries on twine for an organic touch.
- Balloon Garland: Use berry-colored balloons to create a stunning arch or backdrop. I love using these behind dessert tables and behind the mama to be’s chair. You can also use them as a photo backdrop!
- Table Settings: Incorporate gingham tablecloths, wooden accents, and mason jars filled with fresh flowers or berries.
- Berry Crates: Use small wooden crates filled with faux berries as centerpieces or accents.
3. Berry-licious Food Ideas
I love choosing a baby shower menu centered around the food, and with a berry baby shower there are so many fun options!
- Berry-Themed Yogurt Bar: Who doesn’t love a good yogurt bar? Set up a yogurt bar with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, whipped cream, yogurt, and granola.
- Berry-Infused Drinks: Offer berry lemonade, strawberry punch, or sparkling water infused with fresh berries.
- Sweet Treats: Serve cupcakes topped with berry frosting, strawberry shortcake, or blueberry pie bites.
- Savory Options: Include berry-inspired salads or sliders with a hint of berry jam.
- Berry Baby Cake: The centerpiece of your dessert table should be a stunning cake decorated with fresh berries and a “Berry Sweet” topper.
