Teddy Bear Baby Shower Decoration Ideas
Celebrate your upcoming arrival with a cozy teddy bear baby shower featuring adorable bear-themed decor, soft color palettes, and other charming details. Next, we’ll cover several teddy bear baby shower centerpieces, decorations, cakes, and more for a boy, girl, or gender-neutral baby shower.
Boy Baby Shower
Centerpiece
One of the best teddy bear baby shower centerpieces for a boy is a blue teddy bear holding a balloon bouquet. You can choose balloons in different shades of blue or various colors (like blue, white, and silver) to match your baby shower theme.
Tie the balloons to the bear’s hand with ribbon to make it look like it’s holding them. Prop the bear against a vase, put it in a tiny chair, or create a DIY base to keep it in place.
Tableware
A quick Google search of “blue teddy bear plates, cups, and napkins” will pull up several options for a boy teddy bear-themed baby shower. You can choose cute plates featuring a cartoon bear or elegant ones with simple lettering and a bear outline. Matching cups, napkins, and plates are often sold together, such as this We Can Bearly Wait Teddy Bear Tableware Set from Amazon.
Backdrop
Blue and white paper honeycombs are classic teddy bear baby shower decorations, coming in various shapes and sizes. Put cutouts of teddy bears on the wall below the honeycombs to create an adorable photo backdrop. Ensure the honeycombs are low enough to be seen in photos but not so low they’ll get in the way. Create your backdrop on an open wall, canvas background, or sheet.
Cake
Make your little boy’s teddy bear baby shower cake “unbearably” cute by creating a gorgeous one, two, or three tiered-cake with blue frosting. Put a teddy bear topper on the top layer of the cake, with paw prints going down the sides. For the teddy bear adventure theme, include tiny trees, tents, and ladders climbing from layer to layer.
Favors
If you plan to invite many parents with young children to your teddy bear baby shower, consider giving out small blue teddy bear plushies as party favors. These are adorable and will be a pleasant surprise for the kiddos! However, if most of your guests are childless, consider giving bear-shaped candles instead, as these are practical and will appeal to guests with and without children.
Cookies
Bear-shaped sugar cookies with blue icing are the perfect treat for a boy teddy bear-themed baby shower. You can create the cookies using a bear cookie cutout. Once they cool, add the blue icing, then use black or white icing to add the bear’s faces and accessories. Draw onesies or bowties on the bears to make them look even cuter.
Girl Baby Shower
Centerpiece
Are you looking for a teddy bear baby shower centerpiece for your baby girl that is cute and easy to make? Then, consider creating a pink teddy bear centerpiece with a flower arrangement. To make this, put a tiny pink bear inside, next to, or in front of the flower arrangement. Another option is to put the bear’s arms around the stems of the flowers as if it is holding a bouquet.
Tableware
Pink is the classic color for a girl teddy bear baby shower theme, making pink plates, cups, and napkins the obvious selection. Online there are plenty of options available, including boho pink plates featuring teddy bears surrounded by roses and pampas grass or minimalist plates, with simple drawings of bears surrounded by pink flowers. On Amazon, you can find pink plates, cups, and napkins sold in sets, so you won’t have to do much shopping around.
Backdrop
Use flowers to make the perfect teddy bear baby shower backdrop for a little girl. You can buy pink and white paper flowers or a wall mat covered with flowers from top to bottom. Place stuffed teddy bears wearing pink onesies or holding pink balloons in front of the flowers to create an ultra-feminine backdrop your guests will adore.
Cake
Your little girl’s celebration wouldn’t be complete without an adorable teddy bear baby shower cake! Make a one, two, or three-tiered cake covered with pink frosting. Add a topper of a teddy bear holding a heart or a pink balloon. Then, use icing to create hearts and flowers on the sides of the cake. Add fresh flowers on each tier for an elegant touch.
Favors
Are you inviting lots of parents to your teddy bear baby shower? Then, consider giving out cute pink teddy bear plushies as your party favor. These will be a hit among the kids! However, if your party mainly consists of childless adults, consider buying teddy bear-shaped soaps. These are a sweet (and on-theme) way to say “thank you” for attending your big day.
Cookies
Treat your guests to a sweet surprise by making adorable teddy bear-shaped cookies. Use pink icing for the base, then add white or black icing to create the bears’ eyes, mouths, and noses. You can also use icing or candy to create feminine accents, such as bows or flowers on the bears’ heads or bodies. Add pink onesies or tutus for cuteness overload!
Gender Neutral Baby Shower
Centerpiece
A brown teddy bear with a greenery arrangement or neutral-colored balloons is one of our favorite gender-neutral teddy bear baby shower centerpieces. Seat the teddy bear on a natural wood slice, then put the greenery in its arms like it’s holding a bouquet. Or, put the bear in a standing or seated position on top of a box covered with a neutral-colored cloth, then place the balloons in its hands. This centerpiece is easy to assemble and cute, making it the best of both worlds!
Tableware
Earth-toned bear plates, cups, and napkins are ideal for a gender-neutral teddy bear baby shower. You can go the youthful route and choose a set with plates shaped like a cartoon bear head. There are also minimalist options, such as these plates with elegant writing saying “we can bearly wait” and the outline of a bear head.
Backdrop
One simple backdrop idea for a gender-neutral teddy bear baby shower is to hang brown, tan, and other neutral-colored paper streamers on a blank wall. Then, add cutouts of sleeping teddy bears to bring in your sleepy teddy theme. Add a balloon arch and a giant stuffed bear wearing a sleeping cap to give your backdrop some extra pizzaz.
Cake
Make your little one’s teddy bear baby shower even cuter with a teddy-themed cake. Use cream or white-frosted for the base, then add a teddy bear topper. Add stars on the side of the cake with dark blue or black frosting to portray your sleepy teddy theme. If creating stars out of icing sounds too challenging, use moon and star cake toppers instead.
Favors
Giving your guests’ party favors is a great way to thank them for attending your gender-neutral teddy bear baby shower. You can give guests small brown teddy bear plushies if many of them have kids. Another cute idea is teddy bear-shaped cookie cutters (especially if your friends and fam are cooking enthusiasts).
Cookies
Do you want to add an adorable treat to your dessert table? Then, consider making teddy bear-shaped cookies with neutral icing. Add the bear’s face, with a brown bow around its neck for accents. You could also leave the bear plain or put it in a neutral-colored onesie to make it look like a baby cub. Be as creative as you like!
