Baby Shower Ideas 2027: The Neutral Table, the Floral Table and the Things People Keep

Baby showers have changed. Ten years ago it was pink or blue balloons and a cake with a stork on it. Now the ones we see in our customers' photos are cream and sage and oatmeal, there is a wooden guest book instead of a card, and nobody can tell from the table whether it is a boy or a girl because nobody has said.

These are our baby shower ideas for 2027, built on the two ranges that do it best: Hootyballoo's Hello Little One, which is the neutral one, and Meri Meri's florals and little animals, which are the pretty one. Both work at home or in a hired room, and both can be ordered on the Tuesday for the Saturday. ☁️

The neutral baby shower table 🤍

This is the Hello Little One range, and it is the baby shower table for anyone who does not know, or is not telling. Everything is cream, oatmeal and a little wood.

The Neutral Baby Shower Paper Plates x 8 come in a stripe and a plain with a tiny cloud, the Neutral Baby Shower Paper Cups x 8 match, and the Cloud Shaped Paper Napkins x 16 are the detail that makes people pick one up. Scatter the Baby Wooden Table Scatter between the plates and the table is done for under £25.

Baby shower decorations that are not balloons ☁️

You can have balloons (the Neutral Baby Shower Balloons x 5 are the right colours), but the pieces that make the photos are the ones hanging above the table.

The Hello Little One Baby Shower Banner is the script banner across the back wall, the Cloud Wooden Baby Shower Garland is a row of little wooden clouds, and the White Hanging Cloud Baby Shower Decoration is a cloud with raindrops that hangs over the cake. On the cake itself, the Hello Little One Wooden Cake Topper Set, which the parents keep for the nursery afterwards.

The pretty baby shower: florals and little animals 🌸

If the mum-to-be is more Liberty print than linen, go to Meri Meri. The Vintage Ditsy Dinner Party Plates x 8 and the Bloomsbury Floral Dinner Party Plates x 8 are small florals on a scalloped plate, and they look right on a pink cloth or a white one.

The Flower & Bow Party Garland goes over the table. And for the baby shower that is quietly leaning woodland, the Little Animals Large Party Plates x 8 with fawns and foxes and the Elephant Party Napkins x 16 are as gender-neutral as the Hello Little One range, just with more going on.

Baby shower games and the things people keep 📝

Two games is plenty. The Baby Predictions Cards - 18 Pack are the first: everyone writes the date, the weight and the name they think it will be, and the cards go in a box to be opened when the baby arrives. The Parenting Tips Jar & Sign Set is the second, and it is the one the parents actually read at 3am in March. Then the keepsakes: the Baby Wooden Guestbook instead of a card, and the Mummy To Be Sash for the one photo of the day that is just her.

One more thing: baby showers are usually a Saturday afternoon, and most of them are planned by a friend or a sister in the fortnight before. We post next day, so if you are reading this on the Tuesday, you are fine.
