Welcome a future MVP to the world with a Basketball Baby Shower! This boy baby shower has so many fun ideas that create the perfect basketball-themed bash to celebrate the mama-to-be and her new little champ.
Basketball Party Table
At the center of the party table was a tall chalkboard with a DIY basketball net hanging on it. Can you believe that this awesome basketball net was made from a fish net and an embroidery hoop?
I just taped the net around the inside hoop, placed the outside hoop back on, then trimmed the excess net for an easy basketball hoop that made a great basketball party decoration!
I drilled our basketball hoop into the Chalkboard Easel with a small screw and bolt and it was very secure.
I spray painted the largest block from the riser set blue then placed a large trophy on top with a basketball inside. The smallest riser was painted light blue and a small trophy was placed on top. This was a great way to add height and dimension to the table.
To the left of our basketball hoop stood a very tall Tiered Basketball Serving Tray. I made this tray using white candle holders, clear trays, and a basketball on top. It held some caramels on top and popcorn in blue popcorn boxes on the bottom. Get the easy directions to make your own Basketball Serving Tray here!
A new mom can never have too many diapers, so we helped her stock up on this necessity with a DIY Basketball Diaper Cake. With colorful custom ribbon, basketballs in three different sizes, and a large trophy on top, this thoughtful gift looks great on the table as a decoration too!
Darling felt Basketball Pennant Flags adorned the table with cute sayings like "It's a boy," "MVP," and "Slam dunk." Get the fun DIY to make your own set here!
Hanging from the front of the table were some white tassels from the white tassel garland. The felt pennant garland hanging above the table was a garland I made years ago for a Star Wars party that luckily matched the colors for this party perfectly.
Basketball Place Settings
The table was all set for party guests in light blue, navy, and orange.
Adorable Spalding basketball plates were stacked on top of light blue round plates and navy square plates.
Each light blue cup had a blue striped straw inside with a piece of personalized ribbon glued to the top that said "Welcome Little Champ."
A light blue napkin at each setting held a mini trophy for each guest with a basketball stress toy inside.
A couple Basketball Pennant Flags were on the table too, saying "Game time" and "Lil Champ."
Any sports-loving mom will love a Basketball Baby Shower to welcome her sweet little MVP to the world.
