Spring is in the air, and what better way to celebrate new beginnings than with a baby shower inspired by Easter? This time of year brings a sense of hope and joy—perfect for welcoming a new life into the world. We have you covered if you’re looking for ways to host a gorgeous, Easter-inspired baby shower. From stunning table decor to thoughtful party favors, we’ll give you fresh ideas to create an unforgettable Easter baby shower!
Step One: Choose a Theme for Your Event!
One of the first steps in creating a gorgeous event (aside from finalizing the guest list) is choosing your theme! A theme sets the framework for your event, giving both your guest of honor and your guests an idea of what to expect once their RSVP has been sent.
When planning an Easter-inspired baby shower, you can take several fun theme directions: a general Easter theme, a playful bunny theme, or a charming Peter Rabbit theme. While it’s tempting to incorporate all three elements—Easter, bunnies, and Peter Rabbit—the key to a cohesive baby shower lies in narrowing your theme or blending them thoughtfully. If you’re drawn to the traditional charm of Easter, think soft pastels, egg hunts, and floral arrangements. For a bunny-centric celebration, focus on playful bunny motifs, like bunny-shaped cookies, cute bunny decorations, and “Somebunny Very Special Is on the Way” invitations. Meanwhile, if you’re leaning into a “Peter Rabbit” vibe, consider a more vintage-inspired approach with garden touches, rustic elements, and subtle references to Beatrix Potter’s beloved characters. You can certainly blend these themes! Imagine a garden-inspired backdrop with pastel bunnies and whimsical Peter Rabbit touches for a lighthearted, fresh take. It’s all about the details that bring your chosen theme to life.
Step Two: Let the Decorating Begin!
Now that your event’s theme is secured and your guests have received their invitations, it’s time to gather the decorations! While elaborate balloon arches can be a labor of love, they truly enhance the look of your event. We love this gorgeous, garden-inspired setup that provides the perfect inspiration for an Easter baby shower theme.
This on-theme wooden sign is another excellent Easter baby shower decor addition. Displaying it on an arched backdrop adds a personal touch, and it can also double as a gift for your guest of honor as a keepsake of their special day!
Table decor is a must, and these adorable porcelain bunny figurines will add a special touch to your brunch buffet or dessert spread.
Speaking of dessert, on-theme cake and cupcake toppers add a simple yet perfect touch to your event’s decor! If you’re searching for adorable, budget-friendly options, we love these dessert toppers from Amazon—a bonus: two-day shipping for Prime members!
Step Three: Activity Time!

The most engaging showers usually incorporate an icebreaker or some friendly competition into the event to help guests engage with one another. One of our favorite event trends is creating a “Bloom Bar,” where guests can showcase their skills in creating gorgeous flower arrangements. This activity can double as event decor and goes perfectly with an Easter-themed baby shower!
You can check out your local farmers market or grocery store for gorgeous florals to create the Bloom Bar of your guest of honor’s dreams!
While we’re confident the Bloom Bar will keep your guests entertained, there’s no harm in providing an extra activity for everyone to enjoy. Baby Bingo and Baby ABC are fun, on-theme game options to keep the party going!
Pro Tip: Be sure to include a prize for the winner. It’s a thoughtful gesture that shows you’ve considered every detail of the event. A great option is these adorable floral glass coffee cups!
Step Four: Adding a Personal Touch!
While the host is not required to provide a gift for the guest of honor, we’ve got you covered if you want to shower the mama-to-be with some extra love!
You can never have too many pairs of pajamas for your little one (preferably with a zipper to make those late-night diaper changes a tad easier)! We adore this Burt’s Bees Baby Jumpsuit, made of 100% cotton. It’s safe for newborn skin and perfectly fits the Easter baby shower theme!
One of my favorite gifts to give an expecting mama is a personalized item. There’s something special about seeing the name you’ve chosen for your little miracle embroidered on a blanket, onesie, or stuffed animal. We absolutely adore this monogrammed bunny and love how perfectly it fits the Easter theme!
Step Five: It’s Time to Say Goodbye!
When hosting a baby shower, it’s important to show your guests how much you appreciate their presence. A thoughtful gesture is to offer them a small favor as a token of thanks. If you’re looking for a cute and practical party favor, we’re sure you’ll love these printed bookmarks with a quote from Beatrix Potter’s beloved children’s book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
And there you have it
