Taco Bout a Baby Shower Theme

A taco-themed baby shower is a fun theme idea, especially because you can bring in fiesta-themed elements to kick it up a notch. Think vibrant colors, terracotta pots with cacti and other succulents, and amazing food.

In this guide, we’ll dive into over 17 Taco Bout a Baby shower ideas you can use for the next event you’re planning.

Taco Baby Shower Invitations

There are so many adorable taco-themed baby shower invitations you can choose from. My top choice is either Etsy if you want to print them out yourself or Amazon if you want them physically mailed to you.

1. REVEAL THE THEME IN BABY INVITATIONS

Let your guests know right away that this is a Taco Bout a Baby shower – so they’ll be looking forward to a fully decked-out taco bar and fiesta.

If you’re also having a diaper raffle or a book request, be sure to find baby shower invitations with matching cards telling the guests about them beforehand.

Baby Shower Taco Bar

It should go without saying that the best part of any baby shower with a taco theme is the taco bar.

You can really have fun with this and make it the focal point of the entire party. Some things to keep in mind beforehand:

  • Figure out how you’ll be keeping the warm ingredients hot and the cold ingredients cold. I recommend decorating your table with nacho chips and salsas that can be used as appetizers and then bringing out the warm and cold ingredients right before the meal.
  • You can also use crockpots or banquet-style pans to keep the meat warm.

2. USE CUTE TACO SHELLS TO SERVE TACO SALAD

Change up the typical taco bar and give out taco salads in a taco bowl for each guest. Add more fun elements to the taco bar by adding Mexican rice, street corn casserole, and nacho tortilla chips with also and queso.

3. SERVE TACO DIP IN INDIVIDUAL GLASSES

How cute are these little martini glasses full of taco dip? These are perfect for any Mexican baby shower!

4. ADD LAYERS TO YOUR TACO BAR

Anytime you’re styling a table or food bar at an event, layering and stacking items at different heights is a great way to go, because it’s visually pleasing to the eye.

You can stack different-sized baskets of tortilla chips, add boxes to add height to floral arrangements or framed signs, and things of that nature.

5. ADD FIESTA-THEMED DECOR ELEMENTS

The Taco Bout a Baby blends perfectly with several themes: fiesta, cactus, desert bloom, and even a bohemian-vibed shower. You can add all the decorative elements and vibrant colors that come along with these themes to tie your baby shower altogether.

Some simple ways to do this:

  • Use terracotta bowls, plates and pots throughout the event.
  • Add colorful, vibrant colored vases and jars on tables
  • Use floral arrangements full of orange, red, yellow and pinks.

Fiesta Baby Shower Decor

A taco-themed baby shower will typically be close to a fiesta theme in terms of colors and decor. There are so many ways to bring these beautiful colors into the mix.

7. Use Flowers for Your Centerpieces

Add real or faux flowers in pinks, deep oranges and yellows throughout the baby shower venue to instantly pull everything together.

Most importantly, these would look perfect for centerpieces.

9. USE BRIGHT-COLORED NAPKINS

Ready for an inexpensive way to instantly add oomph to any table setting? Bright, colorful napkins.

You can use cloth napkins folded nicely on each guest’s table setting. Go for pink, orange or yellow to go with the fiesta theme.

You can also use disposable napkins to bring color into the table setting for your taco bout a baby shower.

10. CREATE A STUNNING BACKDROP

One of the biggest baby shower trends we are seeing lately is a huge backdrop next to the new mama’s chair. This makes for stunning pictures and everyone can partake in a photoshoot throughout the event.

Here are some items to include:

  • Balloon arches or garland
  • Statement chair (peacock chairs are amazing if you can rent or borrow one)
  • Layer the area with rugs, banners, blankets, and pillows.

All About Dessert Options

It wouldn’t be a baby shower with delicious dessert options! A taco-themed baby shower is no different, and we have a lot of fun options to choose from!

11. ADD FUN CAKE TOPPERS

Cake toppers are a must, in my opinion. You can find one for any theme, even for a fiesta baby shower. Even if you have a plain cake, using a cake topper will give it instant pizzazz.

12. ADD THEMED ELEMENTS TO THE DESSERT TABLE

Decorate your dessert or cake table with vases of flowers or potted succulents. A simple flower on the cake may be all you need for a finishing touch.

Also, consider adding cookies to the dessert table. You can have some custom ordered to be in the shape of mini tacos, pinatas, or even cactus-themed baby shower cookies.

13. ADD CACTUS CUPCAKE TOPPERS

And, of course, if you’re going with cupcakes instead of a cake, use cupcake toppers to bring the theme home!

14. SERVE CHURRO CUPCAKES

Churro cupcakes are truly always a good idea.

You can have these custom-made or check out this recipe here.

If you’re looking for a quick DIY option, you can purchase churros and cupcakes separately. Sprinkle some cinnamon and add mini churros to the top the morning of the baby shower.
