Elevate your party atmosphere with a winter-themed backdrop – a fantastic way to set the scene! This Shimmery Backdrop and Balloon Wall features a shiny blue backdrop paired with a delightful assortment of blue, white, and silver balloons, ideal for a boy baby shower theme.

Rustic Touches
Infuse your baby shower with a cozy charm using rustic touches. Think carved animal figurines and snowflake garlands for a warm, rustic feel. For a boy’s bash, toss in woodsy elements like logs and little bear, moose, or other animal figurines. If it’s a girl’s celebration, soften the rustic vibe with pink accents and throw in cozy blankets and other gentle textures. Keep things balanced with a mix of natural wood and neutral colors for a gender-neutral gathering. Elevate your event with the versatile Winter Decor Bundle from Etsy, featuring tiny wooden sled decorations, snowflakes, and adorable signs like “let it snow” or “baby, it’s cold outside.”
Snow-Themed Decor
No winter wonderland themed baby shower is complete without classic snow-themed decor. Think snowflake banners, icicle garlands, and charming snowman figurines. Amp up the wintry vibe by sprinkling faux snow on tables and floors, creating the illusion of a winter storm indoors. Go a step further by adding piles of cotton snowballs for a playful indoor snowball fight! Add pink or blue balloons for a gender-specific touch. And don’t shy away from a pink winter wonderland baby shower—though less traditional, the results are truly magical. Look for yourself!

The festive Snowman Cheese Ball and Snack Board is sure to be a hit at your baby shower, featuring a snowman made out of cheese! If you’re hosting a winter wonderland baby shower for a boy, add in some pops of blue—like blueberries for the snowman’s eyes or serve the cheese ball with blue-corn crackers. For a girl, go for pink dips and treats, such as raspberry jam to pair with the cheese or pink candy-coated almonds for the snowman’s eyes and buttons. Want to keep things gender-neutral? Craft the snowman with black olive eyes and a carrot nose, and sprinkle in white or silver decorations as you see fit. Check out this recipe to get things cooking!
Hot Chocolate Bar
Heat up your winter wonderland baby shower with a cozy hot chocolate bar. For a boy’s baby shower, serve the coco in blue mugs with blue marshmallows as toppings. For a girl, add a whimsical touch with pink whipped cream and sprinkles. If the shower is gender-neutral, try to include a variety of toppings to suit every taste, such as snowman marshmallows, mints, cinnamon, nutmeg, caramel drizzle and coconut flakes.
