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.
Light Summer Foods for June Parties
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.
Fruit Wands: Skewer cubes of watermelon, pineapple, berries, and grapes.
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.
