June Baby Shower Decor Ideas
When it comes to decorating for a June baby shower, think light, airy, and cheerful. Here are a few ideas that pair perfectly with sunny weather:
Lemonade Love: Lean into a citrusy theme with lemon garlands, lemonade stands, yellow-and-white checkered tablecloths, and mason jars filled with fresh slices of lemon.
Sunflower Baby: Brighten the space with sunflower centerpieces, kraft paper accents, and touches of rustic charm for a garden-inspired gathering.
Boho Backyard: Use neutral macramé hangings, woven rugs, low picnic-style tables, and soft pastel pillows. Throw in a lace teepee or baby-naming banner for extra flair.
Poolside Pastels: For showers near a pool, use floating pastel balloons, umbrellas, and pool-safe decor for a chic summer-soaked vibe.
Pro Tip: Keep the palette light and breathable—think soft yellows, sky blue, mint green, blush pink, and white. Use fresh flowers and plenty of natural light for photo-ready charm.

Hot weather calls for cool bites and refreshing sips. Skip the heavy meals and go for these light summer favorites that keep guests happy and hydrated:
Mini Caprese Skewers: Cherry tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella drizzled with balsamic glaze.

Iced Tea + Lemonade Bar: Offer sweet tea, minty lemonade, and fruit-infused water in dispensers for a fun self-serve station.
Tea Sandwiches: Serve cucumber, egg salad, and cream cheese finger sandwiches for light snacking.
Popsicle Stand: A cooler with fruity or coconut milk popsicles adds a nostalgic and refreshing treat.
Baby-Inspired Cookies: Think baby onesie sugar cookies or lemon-shaped treats to match the theme.
You don’t need a big spread—presentation is key. Use tiered stands, picnic baskets, and vintage trays to elevate your table.
