How to Host a Berry Sweet Baby Shower: A Strawberry-Themed Celebration

Hosting a baby shower is such a joyful way to celebrate the arrival of a little one — and what better way to do it than with a Berry Sweet Baby Shower? A strawberry theme is perfect for spring or summer, bursting with bright reds, pinks, and fresh vibes. 

Here’s how to throw the ultimate strawberry-themed baby shower, from décor and food to games and party favors.

Strawberry-Themed Décor Ideas

• Color Palette: Stick with reds, pinks, whites, and touches of green.

• Table Décor: Use pink gingham tablecloths, strawberry-shaped plates, and mason jars with pink striped straws.

• Backdrop: Create a photo wall with a “Berry Sweet Baby” banner, balloons in strawberry shades, and faux vines or greenery.

• Florals: Incorporate wildflowers, daisies or pink peonies to keep the look fresh and whimsical.

What to Serve: Cake, Snacks, and Drinks

Cake

• A strawberry shortcake or vanilla cake with strawberry filling is a classic.

• For a creative twist, opt for a naked cake topped with fresh strawberries and a cute cake topper that says "Berry Sweet Baby."

Snacks

• Strawberry Caprese Skewers: Strawberries, mozzarella, and basil drizzled with balsamic glaze.

• Mini Strawberry Tarts or hand pies.

• Strawberry Yogurt Parfaits served in mini cups.

• Pink Popcorn or strawberry-flavored pretzels for an easy grab-and-go snack.

   Guests fill out bingo cards with gifts they think the mom-to-be will receive, then mark them off as gifts are opened.

2. Guess the Berry Baby Food
   Cover the labels of different fruit baby foods (including a strawberry blend) and have guests taste and guess the flavors.

3. Strawberry Scoop Relay
   Use a spoon to scoop plastic strawberries from one bowl to another — make it a timed race or team competition.

4. Diaper Raffle
   Encourage guests to bring a pack of diapers for a raffle entry to win a prize.

Sweet Strawberry Favors

• Mini jars of strawberry jam with tags saying “Thanks for making today so sweet.”

• Strawberry-scented candles or bath bombs.

• Strawberry gummies in cute little bags tied with gingham ribbon.

• Custom cookies shaped like strawberries with “Berry Sweet Baby” written in icing.

Final Tips

• Involve the Mom-to-Be: Ask her for input on food preferences, colors, or any allergies.

• Plan Around Nap Time: If kids are attending, plan activities early or mid-afternoon.

• Take Photos!: Set up a strawberry-themed photo booth with props like strawberry hats, baby bottles, or punny signs like “I’m the jam!”

With a little planning and a lot of love, your strawberry-themed shower will be one to remember. Whether you go all out or keep it minimal, the key is to create a warm, welcoming environment for guests — and especially the guest of honor — to celebrate a berry sweet little bundle on the way.
