Gender Neutral Baby Shower Ideas

Will it be a bouncing baby boy or a perfect baby girl? Since the parents-to-be want to be surprised, the baby shower will need to be gender neutral. That can sometimes make planning the shower and buying the gifts a bit more challenging, however these ideas will help you plan fabulous shower regardless of the sex of the baby.

Play it safe with colorful stripes and polka dots! Start by choosing an baby shower invitation that incorporates the stripes the polka dots. You can even encourage your guests to wear polka dots or stripes to the party.

For decorations, find a party pack of stripes, dots, or a combination of the two. Colorful balloons provide a pop of color. Go bold with bright primary colors or keep it soft with pastels.

The capstone of the stripes and dots theme is your baby shower cake. To make a cake like this one below, incorporate your color scheme into two separate cakes stacked on top of each other — one stripes and one dots (slightly smaller than the striped cake).

As a baby shower favor, mix jelly beans in the colors from the shower. Jelly Belly has jelly beans in almost every flavor and color. Find small striped bags, then put the jelly beans inside to create the stripes and dots effect that you've carried throughout the shower.
