Woodland Baby Shower: How To Guide
A Woodland Baby Shower is one of the cutest Baby Shower themes around! “Woodland” or “Forest Animals” is the perfect Baby Shower theme for a Fall or Winter Baby Shower Party.
If you are planning a Woodland themed Baby Shower, then simply follow our guide to plan the perfect Woodland Baby Shower.
Woodland Baby Shower Décor
A Woodland Baby Shower is the perfect theme to add in a little bit of rustic charm.
Think soft-shaded of brown, beige and cream with some pops of red or orange for color. This is one party where natural tones will take center stage, with a few additions of accent colors!
My favorite easy Woodland décor ideas:
- Add touches of red or orange for pops of color
- Also include wooden boards for platters
- Use leafy garlands
- Church candles
- Fir cones
- Linen or hessian make a great natural table covering or backdrop.
- Jars of berry sprigs
- Add greenery with leafy sprigs
- Woodland cupcake toppers

Dress Code
Depending on the time of year, you could either go for “Winter Whites” or if it’s too warm for that, “Woodland Shades” works well and gives Guests plenty of options from browns to reds!
Woodland Baby Shower Food
Continue the woodland theme into the food. A beautiful cheese and meat platter is my favorite, served on a rustic wooden board.
For the cake, a black forest cake is a must. This gorgeous recipe is for the most delicious cake and includes instructions for these super cute woodland marzipan decorations.
Any berry-themed desserts also work perfectly for this Baby Shower theme. Furthermore, this really adds a pop of color to your table.

Signature Mocktail
This non-alcoholic mulled wine makes the most perfect drink for a Woodland-themed Baby Shower. After all, the deep red of the drink works really well with the rustic decor.
Games
What’s in the Basket?… For this easy DIY shower game, first, find a wicker basket with a lid or use a cloth to cover the top. Next, fill the basket with 8 to 10 baby goodies (think bottle, onesie, diaper cream, hairbrush) and then pass the basket around. Then guests should try to identify as many items inside as they can by touch only, (no looking) and write them down. When everyone has had a turn, compare lists to see who identified the most correctly. Bonus: When the game is done, the Mama to be leaves with all of the goodies.
How big is Mommy’s tummy?… Test your guests’ estimating skills with this funny guessing game. Using string, ribbon, or even toilet paper, have each shower guest guestimate the circumference of the expectant mom’s baby bump and cut a piece of the string (or ribbon or toilet paper) that will wrap around her belly. Then, whoever gets the closest wins.
Baby Predictions… Simply use these Baby Prediction cards to find out your Guests guesses about your Baby’s vital stats!
