Are you planning a baby shower for a little boy? Not sure which theme you want to use? The first thing that you want to do when planning a baby shower is to choose the theme that is right for you.
It may be something that one of the parents really likes like a cartoon character or a favorite sport. Here in this article I’ll be giving you ideas for 3 cool themes for you to read over and decide which one resonates with you the most. Some of the ideas in this article can be used across various different themes with a little creativity.
1- A Nautical Baby Shower
Boys love sailboats and ships, so throwing a nautical baby shower is a great idea. The basic colors for this theme are red, white and blue. To start off your decorations, have a red ‘It’s a boy’ banner with navy sailboats at the beginning of the party entrance and lots of balloons all over the party. You can also have little baby sailor faces with sailor hats decorating the party. For the flowers you can have red and white carnations. Also, check out these baby shower flower centerpiece ideas.
For the cake, you can make a big sailboat at the top of two round cakes or you can make nautical themed cupcakes. To do this, make regular cupcakes and then decorate the top of them with white icing. On top of them, you can place a light blue boat with a sail, a red and white lifesaver or a cute navy blue anchor. For an even stronger effect, you can place the cupcakes on towering trays so that they are visible immediately when the guests arrive. Decorate the top of the tower with blue and red party paper. Here are some more homemade baby shower decorations for you to get more ideas on what to do.
2 -Surfer Boy Baby Shower
This theme is a perfect match for parents who love the beach and surfing. Some fathers don’t like too much ‘frill’ when it comes to their newborn boy and the surfer theme is much more ‘boyish’ than other themes out there. You can use actual surf boards to decorate the party if you have them; however if you don’t, simply buy surf board cut outs at a party store. If you’re not finding any surf board cut outs, try looking in teacher resource shops. They have many summer themed cut out bulletin boards that can be used for your baby shower and they’re very cheap too! Purchase some onesies and other baby clothing items with surfboards on them and have a baby clothesline going across a wall to decorate your shower. Invitations can be hand made in the shape of a surf board or you can just buy surf themed baby shower invitations and fill them in. Some favor ideas are surfboard shaped cookies or surfboard keychains. You can wrap either of them in pretty transparent paper and tie them with blue and green ribbons. Here are some more ideas for handmade baby shower favors for you to check out.
3- The Jungle Baby Shower Theme
This theme is one of the many animal themed baby showers that you can plan and will be sure to make your guests smile. You can start by sending out invitations that say ‘In the jungle, the mighty jungle, a baby boy arrives…’ Have cute animals looking at the new bundle of joy decorating the invitation. For the ‘sweets table’, have several animal themed chocolates on sticks in a green vase. Another idea is to have cupcakes with green icing and sugar animals on top. There are many animal print helium balloons out there that can be tied to the ends of tables and chairs. Store bought paper trees make great decoratives for the finger foods table. The best colors for this theme are green, yellow, brown and oranges. For a cost-effective banner, use paper plates and personalize your message. Each letter of what you want to say is written on the paper plate with dark black marker. To make this banner, you can use two different colors for the plates and tape the back of the plates onto string. Display your message above the foods table or in the entrance way. Have cute animal faces at each end of the banner. Here are more tips for you to know how to throw a baby shower on a budget.
So those are 3 of my favorite boy baby shower themes. Hope you enjoyed them

The themes which you have listed here are truly amazing and unique! I liked all the themes as you have taken baby boy into consideration. All the three themes are appropriate for a baby boy. I liked the Nautical Baby Shower theme idea very much. I agree with you that as boys love ships and sailboats, it is the perfect theme for baby shower. Red, white and blue colors are the perfect colors for this theme to give it a unique touch.
My partner and I are expecting a baby boy and your post was like a divine happening. She has been very stressed thinking about the theme we should have for the shower. I liked the jungle baby shower idea, thinking of drawing from films like “Tarzan”, “Jungle Book” and “George of the Jungle” when it comes to this one. Thanks for sharing, the ideas are really cool.
Having a baby is the single most greatest thing that anyone can experience in their life. I am a first time and father and am over the moon, totally thrilled about the baby. We just go to know from our doctor that the baby is a boy and are now planning a shower. These themes were really helpful, am surely going to be using one of them for my baby shower.
We are having a child, but I am not sure if it’s a boy or a girl. We decided to keep it a surprise so we don’t know what it is. I liked the nautical theme. I am a sea man and work on the cruise line and so found that theme apt for my baby. We will be having a sailor girl and boy, just in case the baby is a girl or a boy, we don’t want to get it wrong. Thanks for the post was really nice.
The jungle theme which you have listed out here is very cool! The idea of sending out invitations is also very nice. Animal themed chocolates and cupcakes are perfect for this theme. Animal printed balloons on each table looks fun. I was thinking of including tree house setup too. This will give additional jungle touch to the theme. I thoroughly enjoyed reading these cool themes!
I like the nautical baby boy theme best. It had me at the heading. Got to tell this to my wife; she’ll love the idea.

My partner and I are having a baby through surrogacy and we were thrilled to learn that we are expecting a baby boy. I always wished as a little girl of having a baby shower. So we are organizing one, even though I am not giving birth, but the baby is mine. I liked the jungle baby shower and have decided to make that the theme for my baby shower. We are going to have the surrogate mother attend too so that the baby feels this great moment that has been organized for him. Thanks for the novel ideas.

Boy baby shower ideas which you have listed here are very good. Would love to host such a unique and amazing baby shower parties. The themes which you have sorted out are perfect for a boy baby shower. Also the ideas of implementing the themes are very good. As I am passionate about surfing I think the surfer baby shower theme will the perfect one for us. Decorating the party with surf boats and distributing surf boat shaped cookies in a surf themed baby shower party seems very unusual and fun.
Hi Eren,
These are some awesome ideas for that little baby boy. Usually, it is so difficult to come up with a theme much less being able to carry it throughout the shower. I will definitely bookmark this page and share it with my friends. Great article.
