Polar Bear Shower Invitation Ideas
Polar bears make for the perfect winter wonderland theme. Be sure to use lots of light colors like white, cream, or ivory, and add in some pop with gold or pink!
You can even send your invites with the polar bears theme, which takes care of some of the decorating. And feel free to let some personality shine through by adding jokes and anything fun that you think your guests will like.
Also be sure to include the basics: the date, time, and place that you are having the party, as well as a way to RSVP.
Polar Bear Shower Decoration Ideas
If it’s winter, nature already provides some beautiful decor! As for colors, stay neutral, but feel free to add some sparkle or bright hues that pop as secondary colors — like gold, blue, or pink.
For easy decorating, look no further than the Christmas decor section. Try to find decorative trees that are white, pinecones, and anything else that looks like it has a woodland theme with a winter twist.
A simple and cute centerpiece can be balloons surrounded by stuffed animal polar bears. You can also set up an easel near the table with winter or polar bear drawings.
2.) Koalas Nighttime
The unique koalas nighttime theme features sleeping koalas with a background of muted lavender, deep purple, gray, and pink.
It’s perfect for parents that are tired of baby showers with too many bright colors and who want something more sophisticated.

The Perfect Month to Host a Baby Shower
Unsure of when you should host a baby shower? Most people agree that between six and eight months along is the optimum time to throw a baby shower.
However, there is not really a “right time” to have a baby shower.
The timing of a baby shower — even a winter baby shower — all depends on what works for you, the host, the family, and the mother-to-be.
You don’t want to set the baby shower too close to the baby’s due date, as the mom-to-be could be feeling tired and overwhelmed by that point. And, if you’re throwing a winter baby shower, you may have to consider the timing of the holidays.
Just make sure that any potential dates you have in mind for the baby shower work for key people involved, like close family and friends.
However, with a virtual baby shower, you have the added bonus of making it easier for guests to attend. They don’t have to leave their homes to enjoy the celebration, and the party can take place of a few days instead of just over a few hours.
What to Wear to a Winter Wonderland Baby Shower
The perfect outfit will be made simple with these tips, no matter what season it is!
1.) For a casual event, opt for a warm wool dress with tights and ankle boots. Not only will you stay warm, but you will look oh-so-chic at this winter wonderland baby shower!
2.) If you prefer to wear denim jeans, a sweater is the perfect complement. Plus, the spirit of the season lets you play with lots of details or embellishments. (But maybe keep the ugly Christmas sweater for another day, unless it’s encouraged by mom and dad-to-be!)
3.) For a more sophisticated winter wonderland baby shower, you may want to wear a skirt — either long or short (with tights). Put on a nice sweater and you are good to go!
