Music is a universal language. People from all walks of life are able to connect with each other or to themselves. Music displays emotion and feelings without limits or boundaries. If you do not know how to express your emotion it is typical of people to turn to the music that represents how they are feeling and others can pick up on that. With that being said, a music-themed baby shower is an event a lot of people can get behind. With our help, you will be able to get everyone together, share your favorite music, dance along to it, and have the baby shower of your dreams! All while being in your price range and not put a dent in your pocket.
Music Themed Baby Shower Decorations
Create the vibe you wish to give off for your guests with the suggestions down below. Music is a broad topic since there are so many different genres. The focus is not on that however, with every genre the same equipment, instruments and concepts are applied one way or another so the decorations will be centered around such ideas.
1. Sound Systems
You can’t play music if there is not a device to play it on. Impress your guests with a sound system that will metaphorically and literally make you feel the music. Allow their hearts to beat to the rhythm of the songs with a large, blaring, colorful sound system.
2. Bright Color Scheme
Because music can accurately describe and display our emotions it only makes sense to choose the right colors. Colors are linked to emotion and emotion is linked to music. Since this is a happy occasion we would want brighter colors such as reds, yellows, oranges, blues, and greens.
3. Concert Posters
Have a variety of posters scattered around from different events or artists to set the atmosphere you are looking for. Let it be posters from a certain decade, your favorite artists, retro or new, there is something out there for you.
4. Sheet Music
Leave sheet music on the tables for people to enjoy. Sheet music has existed as early as 1400B.C.and is still continued to be used to this day. Whether they can read it or not, it is still a nice piece to include and look at for decoration.
5. Vinyl and CDs
Take vinyl and CDs and place them on the wall or have them hang from the ceiling. Tie a string through the center or just glue the string on. If you are feeling extra sophisticated, create or buy vinyl/CD chandeliers to hang from the ceiling. This will be a unique piece that will for sure be one of the main attractions.
6. Disco Ball
What is a music-themed event without a disco ball? It is such a classic and iconic symbol related to music that brings life to the dance floor. Let it shine like your favorite stars and have a ball with your guests.
7. Party Lights
Truly immerse yourself with the feeling of being at a concert. Bright, colorful flashing lights will accompany a disco ball well to really get the people moving.
Music Themed Baby Shower Favors

Devise a collection of songs on a CD of the parents' favorite songs. This creates a personal and timeless piece for your guests to have as a souvenir or their favorite CD for car rides!
10. Music Note Keychain
A memorable and decorative piece to remind your guests of an eventful time at your baby shower. This is a small favor but in terms of significance, the music note keychain is rather large.
