If you combine a gender reveal and baby shower together, this is one of our favorite ways to do just that in the summer. Play on the ‘what’s the scoop’ agenda and make it an ice cream social with friends and loved ones.
Combine pastel colors throughout a balloon structure and of course, have plenty of ice cream ready for your guests.
You could even have a DIY scoop station for everyone to get involved with. These gender reveal scoop cups are the perfect addition!

Mama’s main squeeze! There’s something about homemade lemonade that just screams summer and it’s a really relaxed and breezy idea for a summer baby shower that is packed full of color.
Setup a stand for homemade lemonade and sweet treats with a lemon theme. Create a balloon arch with fake lemons for the perfect photo opportunity with your guests. Top your cakes with the below cake toppers.
4. Picnic Baby Shower
Throwing a picnic baby shower is the perfect solution to finding a gorgeous venue that’s free!
Whether you create a setup like the below or just get your guests to bring a chair and some cosy cushions each, this is a beautiful way to celebrate your baby to be whilst being at one with nature. If you have a large outdoor space, you could host it at home too so you have toilets nearby!

We also love the ‘we can bearly wait’ touches that can be added to photo backdrops or tables. How cute is the below confetti?!
11. Bumblebee Bash
Sweet as can be is one of the cutest sentiments and acts as an adorable baby shower theme. Perhaps your baby to be is going to have a name beginning with B?

Aloha baby! Transport yourself to the relaxed waters of Hawaii for your baby shower with this tropical inspired theme.
Think bold, bright colors, tropical leaves and plenty of flowers.
15. Mermaid Poolside Party

Instead of balloons, how about creating floating flowers above your table. They add a whimsical touch and help to complete a pretty perfect theme.
16. Donuts!
Who doesn’t love donuts? If you’re not a fan of cake, a fun donut board is the perfect addition to literally any baby shower theme you choose.
17. Colorful Grazing Board
When it comes to choosing what food to serve, family style and grazing boards are definitely a favorite. Picky food in the summer makes it super easy, and you can get guests to bring something each with them from a list so you can make sure you don’t end up with duplicates.
If you go for a grazing board theme, keep things fresh and colorful for the summer. It looks great in photographs too!
