It just doesn't get much sweeter than a "You Are My Sunshine" theme for a baby shower. It's such a bright and cheery theme to celebrate the mama-to-be and her little bundle of sunshine! What I love most about this theme is how versatile it is. It will work for baby boys, baby girls, and even gender neutral showers! This particular shower was inspired by these absolutely adorable plates. They were just too cute to resist, so I designed an entire pack of free printables to go along with them to help you host a precious, cheerful soiree!
The minute I laid eyes on these adorable Sunshine Baby Shower Dinner Plates I knew that a celebration needed to be built around them. They are just so darn cute and perfect for a baby shower!
We showcased these beauties by layering them on top of Premium White Plastic Dinner Plates with Silver Trim, then anchoring them with sheets of sunshine yellow card stock. Sunshine Baby Shower Luncheon Napkins and Premium Metallic Silver Cutlery tied up in pink ribbon also graced each place setting.
If you're like me and like to set a stylish table but don't want the clean-up afterward, then you're going to love this next idea. As an alternative to a tablecloth, this table was covered with paper that's made to look like shiplap. Did you just do a double-take? So cool, right? It's actually Fadeless® White Shiplap Bulletin Board Paper! Not only does it look classy on the table, but at the end of the party all you have to do is roll it up and toss it in the recycle bin!
Fresh flowers displayed in Blush Plastic Bud Vases and craft bottles lined the center of the table creating a simple and natural table runner. Iridescent Dots Wine Tumblers adorned with lemon slices and Iridescent Straws finished off each place setting. Free printable straw flags added a little pizzazz to each straw and made the place settings complete.
A 24" x 36" "You Are My Sunshine" poster served as the focal point of the party and tied in seamlessly with the table decor. DIY 3D Cloud Mobiles hanging on each side of the poster added movement and visual interest to the backdrop and mirrored the raindrops on the plate design perfectly!
A DIY Sunshine Garland dressed up the front of the table and echoed the raindrop elements as well. Download the free Garland Printable here.
A printable cake topper mounted on yellow card stock looked so pretty on top of the cake! Chocolate covered cookies and fresh flowers surrounding the topper added some color to the table, and gumballs around the base of the cake were a pretty and delicious finishing touch.
Yellow macarons were tucked inside Round Macaron Boxes, and then accented with printable sunshine labels. Iridescent Metallic Shred and fresh flowers added a dose of sunshine to the display. Iridescent Scallop Trim Votive Holders with candles inside brought a warm ambiance to the table.
To thank the guests for coming, little favor jars were created for them to take home. Mini Mason Favor Jars were filled with gumballs, wrapped with printable favor labels, then printable thank you tags and white yarn pom-pom "clouds" were added as the finishing touch.
