I May or May Not Have Squealed… 💙🐻 An aunts guide to planning a cute teddy themed baby shower

I May or May Not Have Squealed… 💙🐻

(A very excited aunty’s guide to planning the cutest blue & white teddy baby shower ever!)

Okay… I’ll admit it. I 100% squealed when I found out a sweet baby boy was on the way. Not a subtle “aww,” but a full-blown, hands-in-the-air, happy dance moment. Because let’s be honest—planning a baby shower is basically my love language.

And this time? We’re going all in on a very boy, very blue, and oh-so-snuggly teddy bear theme. Think soft blues, fluffy textures, and the kind of decor that makes everyone say, “Okay but this is adorable.”

If you’re planning a baby shower and want something classic, charming, and completely heart-melting—grab a cuppa, auntie’s got you covered 💁‍♀️

🐻 Step 1: Start With a Simple Plan (Before You Buy ALL the Cute Things)

Before you fall down the rabbit hole of teddy bears and tiny bow ties (been there), start with the basics:

✔️ Guest List

Keep it intimate or go all out—just know your numbers early. This helps with everything from seating to catering.

✔️ Budget

Set a budget and stick-ish to it (we’re realistic here). Prioritise what matters most—usually food, decor, and a few standout pieces.

✔️ Venue

  • At home (cosy and budget-friendly)

  • Backyard garden (perfect for soft blue styling)

  • Hall or café (less cleanup = more wine time 🍷)

✔️ Date & Time

Late morning or afternoon works beautifully for baby showers—think brunch vibes or high tea elegance.

🎨 Step 2: Lock in Your Theme – Blue & White Teddy Magic

This theme is timeless and ridiculously cute. Here’s your colour and style guide:

Colour Palette:

Theme Vibe:

  • Soft, cuddly, dreamy

  • Classic baby charm

  • Gentle and welcoming (just like bub!)

🧸 Step 3: Decor Ideas That Will Melt Hearts

Here’s where the magic happens—and where I tend to go slightly overboard (no regrets).

🎈 Balloon Styling

🐻 Teddy Bear Touches

  • Scatter plush teddy bears around the space

  • Use a larger teddy as a centrepiece or “guest of honour”

  • Pop mini teddies into gift bags (adorable AND practical)

🍰 Dessert Table Goals

Create a showstopper table with:

  • Blue cupcakes with white frosting

  • Teddy bear cookies

  • A simple cake with “Oh Boy!” or baby name

  • Marshmallows, chocolates, and lollies in blue/white jars

🪑 Table Settings

📸 Photo Area (Must-Have!)

Trust me—this is where memories are made.

🎁 Step 4: Games & Fun (Keep It Light & Laughy)

You don’t need a million games—just a few good ones:

🍽️ Step 5: Food That’s Easy & Crowd-Pleasing

Keep it simple but cute:

Sweet:

  • Cupcakes, cookies, cake pops

  • Blue jelly cups

  • Chocolate-dipped treats

Savoury:

  • Mini sandwiches

  • Sausage rolls or sliders

  • Cheese boards (because adults deserve snacks too)

Drinks:

  • Mocktails in blue tones

  • Lemonade or punch

  • Tea, coffee… and maybe a cheeky bubbly for guests 😉

🎀 Step 6: Finishing Touches That Make It Special

These are the little details that elevate everything:

💙 Aunty’s Final Thoughts

Planning a baby shower isn’t about perfection—it’s about celebrating a tiny human who is already so loved. Whether your balloons match perfectly or your cake leans a little (we’ve all been there), what matters most is the joy in the room.

And if you do get a little carried away buying teddy bears… just remember:

You’re not overdoing it. You’re creating magic 🐻✨
