Blue Baby Shower Decorations
As the mom-to-be prepares for her new baby, whether it's the first or the fourth, you can blow her away with these amazing decorations. The first thing you need to do is decide on the theme and color scheme! The color blue is a beautiful color that pairs well with warm colors like beige or cool colors like silver. You can also pair it with white or go bold with gold! If you're looking to decorate for a pool or beach party, we may be able to help with this checklist!
1. Big and Bold Balloons
With a royal blue and gold display of balloons, the baby shower will look radiant. Place similar colored balloons throughout the party venue and watch the guests light up with excitement! Balloons are an easy way to decorate and create an amazing vibe.
2. Banners and Tassels
This classic party decoration can add a little flare to the baby shower. Hang tassels or banners on the entrance, above tables, and anywhere else you see fit.
3. Blue Baby Shower Flowers and Centerpieces
Place blue flowers throughout the party. Add shades of blue and gold or any other color you see fit to add a little more beauty to the tables and venue.
4. Clothesline Onesie
If you're looking for a do-it-yourself decoration, this is the one to use. Use a clothesline to hang your blue-themed onesies and clothing, then place the finished product on the wall or in a significant area such as the girt table.
5. Gold, Sequin Table Covers
Adding a gold sequin tablecloth or a gold-colored cloth will give the party that extra glam factor. The guests are going to love the color scheme! If you use a softer blue, gold accents will add a pop of color to the mostly blue party.

22. Diaper Pong
DIY a diaper pong board for guests to play. You can use a display board or use an authentic pong table! See how many ping pong balls they can make in the diapers!

Give the guests a notecard or piece of paper to write down their estimates of the size of mom's belly. Whoever's guess is the closest wins! Treat the winner to an extra party favor or prize!
24. Word Search
Print out baby shower word searches and encourage guests to find the most words in the allotted time. Give them blue highlighters to mark down their answers. This is a perfect game to keep the guests busy while mom opens her presents or when guests are sitting around chatting.
25. Pin The Pacifier
Play this classic remix of pin the tail on the donkey; however, instead of a donkey, it's a baby! The guests will wear a blindfold, then spin around before trying to pin the pacifier to the baby's mouth. The winner is the person who pins the pacifier the closest!
