Paris Baby Shower Decorations
1. Balloons
Balloons are a must have for all types of parties. The pink and black color trend not only looks good, but can be improved upon by adding white. One of the best things about balloons is they don't take up any space--so they can be placed anywhere.
2. Bonjour Bebe Banner
Why not have a french themed banner welcoming the baby? Because “Welcome Baby” is in French, it not only looks elegant but strengthens the Paris atmosphere. It's not very often one can get away with a different language for a banner in a party, but a Paris themed party is an exception!
3. Pink and White Flowers
Paris is the city of love, and what better way to signify love than the color pink. Although pink is a recurring color scheme, it doesn't matter. Both pink and white flowers are beautiful, and will help elevate the Paris mood.
4. Pink and Black Table Cloth
To keep with the theme a pink and black table cloth would be perfect. You can even try and find some with an Eiffel tower on it.
5. Pink and Black Bows for Chairs
Little things go a long way--they’re typically the details that people remember the most. Quite simply, pink and black bows tied around chairs will go a long way in their memory. They can be tied around the back of the chairs easily, and are sure to make an impression when one goes to sit down.
6. Paris Diaper Cake
This is a cute decoration that can be used in the future for your baby. The diaper cake could also be turned into a game by guessing how many diapers it took to make the cake. No matter what this decoration will not be a waste.
7. Personalized Welcome Sign
A personalized welcome sign lets your family and friends know they are at the right place. For a welcome sign ensure you stay with the theme and look of your invitation. Just place the sign on an easel and wait for the guests to enter.
8. Paris Baby Balloon Box
The baby balloon box is always a favorite, not only does it provide a cute and cheap decoration option. It gives you a cute place to take pictures with friends and family.
Paris Baby Shower Favors
9. Paris Handsanitizer
Handsanitizer makes the perfect party favor, you can buy any kind you’d like and add an eiffel tower sticker to make it Paris themed. Personally I would look for a pink hand sanitizer to keep with the pink theme for a baby girl.
10. Chocolate Eiffel Tower
A chocolate eiffel tower provides a snack or a cute decoration for a party favor for your guest. Another option could be buying regular heresy bars and customizing the wrapper to fit your Paris theme.
11. Eiffel Tower Keychain
A key chain is always a great idea, and gives your guests a little accessory. Who wouldn’t love an eiffel tower keychain. They can add it right to their keys as a reminder to go to Paris one day and if they’ve been to Paris, a reminder of their trip to Paris.
12. Paris Wine Glass
Although you may not be able to drink, what represents paris better than wine. They would be able to use the wine glass throughout the party as their cups and then be able to take it home and continue to use it. You can personalize it to fit the theme by adding writing or a graphic, maybe even get pink glasses.

Cookes are a perfect quick snack for people to grab while they play games, mingle, or watch you open presents. You can get sugar cookies decorated to fit your pink Paris theme.

Paris Baby Shower Activities
23. Paris Themed Photo Booth
It is becoming increasingly normal for photo booths to be present at special event gatherings; why not have one for Paris? Everyone will want to take a picture with the beautiful backdrop, that could be anything Paris related. Maybe the Eiffel Tower with pink shading, or even the Arc de Triomphe.
24. Paper Games
Paper games are always a good idea. People could end up full from their food and prefer a game they can sit there at a table with loved ones and enjoy playing the game. You can play bingo, baby advice, finish mommy's phrase, my water broke, baby name race, Diaper thoughts, advice for the mommy to be, baby predictions and many more. Make it yourself or buy premade ones either way people will love it.
25. Jeopardy
Jeopardy, you can create your own and make it about babies, mother-hood, paris, the mommy to be, or anything else you could think of. It would be a huge hit and a unique game not everyone has at their baby shower. But make sure the board is pink and has eiffel towers to stick with the theme.

Paris Baby Shower Invitations
30. Ooh La La Invites
This baby shower invite is an attention grabber with the striped background and the phrase “ooh La la” to go along with a phrase we generally relate to France.
Along with the other invite this one has the phrase “ooh la la” but the design is more simplistic and has a touch of elegance to it.
31. Bonjour Bébé Invites
This invitation has the words “welcome baby” in french “bonjour bébé” to give the Paris feel. It’s simple and the flowers give it an elegant feel.
The words “bonjour bébé” appear on this invite as well. This invite has a simplistic design as well as the last two but the eiffel tower faded into the back gives the paris theme without it being overbearing.
