Sweet Baby Shower Themes For Boys
As a mom of three boys, I can tell you firsthand that planning a baby shower is just as exciting as welcoming your little one into the world. I’ll never forget my first shower – the theme was “Under the Stars,” and my mom transformed our backyard with twinkling fairy lights and constellation-themed decor.
We sat under a canopy of stars, dreaming about the little guy about to join our family. Now, three boys later, I’ve seen (and hosted!) just about every baby boy shower theme you can imagine.
Whether you’re planning your first shower or your third, I’ve rounded up 17 sweet and creative baby shower themes for boys to make your celebration extra special.

1. Little Gentleman
Picture tiny bow ties, mustaches, and classy black-and-white decor. Serve mini sandwiches and iced tea in mason jars with striped straws for a polished touch.

Bring the jungle to life with greenery, animal prints, and stuffed safari animals. A cake shaped like a lion or giraffe will steal the show!

Anchors, sailboats, and shades of navy and white create the perfect sea-faring vibe. Use lifesavers as table centerpieces and serve “fish and chips” for snacks.
4. Out of This World
Space lovers, rejoice! Decorate with planets, stars, and rocket ships. Add glow-in-the-dark stars for a magical touch.

Foxes, owls, and bears – oh my! Rustic details like wooden decor, leafy garlands, and s’mores make this theme cozy and fun.

Dinosaurs never go out of style. Go all out with dino footprints, fossil cookies, and a volcano centerpiece that doubles as a candy jar.

This calming blue theme features sea creatures, seashells, and plenty of bubbly fun. Create a photo booth with mermaid tails or scuba gear props.

Perfect for travel-loving parents, this theme incorporates maps, mini vehicles, and “baggage claim” favor stations filled with goodies.

Celebrate your little hero with capes, comic book decor, and a “build-your-own mask” craft station for guests.
