Baby Shower Themes for Boys We Love
1. Star Wars Theme

How freaking cool is this party theme! Go all out with your Star Wars love for you and your baby boy (or girl, I mean come, Star Wars is for everyone to nerd out). The black color scheme may be a bit unconventional for a baby shower that’s normally doused in baby blues and pinks, but that makes it even better. This theme is great for those who think outside the box, and have a few Star Wars paraphernalia around the house to show off.
2. Superheroes Unite

The era of amazing superhero movies has arrived and it makes a great baby shower theme! Introduce your little boy early on to the superheroes he’s bound to love when he grows up. Get your guests to wear costumes or superhero-themed shirts and get the party started!
3. Go Great Gatsby

Give your little gentleman a classy baby shower with a Great Gatsby theme! It’s vintage and sophisticated and you’ll have lots of fun creating the decors and food. It doesn’t have to be a totally formal event because it’s a baby shower after all. Make it cute yet classy by serving chocolates and marshmallows like canapes or juice in wine glasses.
4. Dr. Seuss Party
When your little boy arrives, you’re probably going to want to read him Dr. Seuss books! But while he’s still in your tummy, why not throw a Dr. Seuss Party to prepare for his arrival? Illustrations in Dr. Seuss’ books are creative and colorful and you should definitely draw inspiration from them for the party’s decor!
5. Popeye the Party Man

Why throw an ordinary sailor party when you can throw one with a Popeye theme? The classic cartoon will definitely bring you and your guests into nostalgia as you fill your house with memories of the spinach-eating sailor we all love! Get your guests to come in their sailor hats and serve good ol’ spinach for authentic Popeye feels!
6. NBA Playoffs Party

Let people come in their favorite player’s jersey. And if you happen to be giving birth near the finals, have a blast and do a viewing party of the game!
7. Pacman Party

Just because Game of Thrones isn’t kid-friendly doesn’t mean you can’t consider it as ababy showertheme idea. Put up a huge banner saying ‘Baby Boy is coming!’ You can also have a cake topper of a baby boy sitting in the Iron Throne! How cool is that?
18. Stork is Arriving
https://www.instagram.com/p/Ba4VAFbAYpw/?tagged=storkbabyshower
The Stork Arriving concept may be old but it certainly still has its charm. Decorate your wall with a big picture of a stork holding a baby in a blanket and fill the room with pastel colored decors and food. It’s simple to do but will still be deemed Instagram-worthy.
19. Little Pumpkin

If you’re giving birth sometime in October, then you can throw a Halloween party and baby shower in one! Let your guests come in pretty baby-oriented costumes and decorate the house with orange and black. Instead of a scary pumpkin carving, draw a cute smiling face on the pumpkin.
20. Rockin’ Rockstar

Some baby shower themes for boys are geared towards child-friendly inspirations, but this rockstar theme is both kid- and adult-friendly! If you and your spouse are huge fans of music, this is the theme for you. Get your guitars, drums, and other instruments and start rocking and rolling! You can play cool rock music while everyone is getting acquainted at the party.
21. Arcade Mania
If Pacman alone isn’t enough for you, then drive more routes towards memory lane and add more games! Bring in Mario, Street Fighters, Sonic, Pokemon, and the others! You’ll have more room for creativity for food and decors. Plus, if you actually have these video games, it would be great to let your guests play with them for that ultimate trip down memory lane.
