Beautiful Rainbow Themed Baby Shower Ideas

Baby showers are a time when family and friends gather to have fun, share delicious food, play games, and give gifts to help prepare the parents-to-be before the little angel arrives! While it sounds like a lot of fun, planning the baby shower can be extra tough, especially when you do not have a theme at hand. If you are looking for a few ideas, read on to find out why you should consider going for a rainbow-theme and how to plan the perfect rainbow-theme!

Why Choose ‘Rainbow’ As a Theme for Baby Shower?

A few reasons why you should consider the Rainbow theme are:

1. The Colours!

Rainbow has so many cheery and bright colours and those will be incorporated in your decorations when you choose this theme! The colour palette will look stunning no matter which rainbow theme you go for – the bright rainbow theme or the pastel rainbow baby shower theme!

2. It Is Gender-Neutral

For parents who are looking for a gender-neutral theme, the rainbow-themed baby shower is perfect! It features all the colours so you could not have to worry about leading anybody on to the gender of the little one!

3. Great for a Spring Baby Shower

If you are hosting the baby shower in spring, then the rainbow theme is perfect because of its cheery and sunny vibes.

4. Perfect If You Are throwing a Baby Sprinkle

The rainbow theme is perfect for people planning a baby sprinkle shower. This is usually reserved for the third or the second baby and is an idea worth considering!

5. Symbol of Miracle

If the parents-to-be have suffered a loss before this pregnancy, then the rainbow baby can be considered a symbol of miracle after having gone through an infant loss.

While there are so many rainbow baby shower decoration ideas online, you could consider the following ideas for your baby shower:

1. Doorway Rainbow: To create a whimsical rainbow effect over a doorway, you could purchase a few coloured streamers, twist them, and paste them at both top ends of the doorway. Add a cluster of white balloons at the end to give it a cloud effect.

2. Rainbow Photo Booth Backdrop: You could procure plastic curtains or cloth curtains in all the rainbow colours and hang it in order on one of the walls. For a more magical touch, you could paste small starry stickers on the curtains and a few cloud stickers on the rainbow baby shower backdrop.

3. Rainbow Balloon Centrepiece: A balloon rainbow baby shower centrepiece will look impressive and super professional. You can do this on your own with a few balloons, wires, and other items present in your local store. Place a Rainbow diaper cake near this balloon centrepiece to make it look more related to the baby shower!

4. Rainbow Pom Pom Table Décor: With the rainbow flower on a stick idea, using coloured tissue papers and a cup containing coloured pom-poms, you are going to have the best table decoration at the party! The layers of the craft tissue paper stack help you create a festive look and will add colour to your tables!

5. Rainbow Rain Cloud Decorations: DIY Rainbow Rain cloud decorations will make your venue look dreamy. You will need a few white tissue papers to act as the clouds, coloured card stock paper to be the raindrops, and some wire to hang them from the clouds. You could either hang them all around the venue or hang them over the gift table.

6. Rainbow Balloon Arch: The balloon arch has a festive touch and is perfect for the wall behind the food table. All you will need are some coloured rainbows and white balloons to be the cloud. Moreover, a balloon arch is easier to clean up at the end of the baby shower.

7. Rainbow Flowers: To decorate the entryway as guests come in or the window sill, you could put to use the rainbow flower decorations. Take a few transparent glasses, fill these in water, add food-colouring in each glass to create a rainbow and add white flowers to the glasses.

With these fun games and activities, you and your guests will surely have a lot of fun at the party!

1. Balloon Baby Shower Game: Instead of traditional baby shower games, go for something new at your party and try the rainbow coloured balloon baby shower game! All you have to do is gather a few common supplies like a large foam core band, rainbow coloured balloons, ruler, tape, pencil, and pins from your local store.

Fill the balloons with prizes, blow the balloons, and tie the balloons to the holes. Let everyone try to pop the balloons using pins!
