Get Carried Away with this Baby Carriage Themed Baby Shower Ideas!
One of the most versatile themes for a baby shower is carriages. It can be used for a boy, a girl or if the sex is a surprise. Carriages can be used in a traditional or modern way and there is no end to creative ways to incorporate the theme into invitations, decorations, food, and games!
Carriage Themed Baby Shower Invitations
Set the tone for your carriage-themed baby shower with invitations that are as enchanting as the theme itself. Choose designs featuring a beautiful vintage carriage or a Cinderella-style coach. Use a color palette of soft pastels, gold, and white to reflect the elegance of the theme.
Include phrases like “Join Us for a Royal Celebration!” or “A Little Prince/Princess is on the Way!” Personalize the invitations with event details and consider adding a touch of sparkle with gold foil accents or glitter. For an extra special touch, you could include a small carriage-themed charm or sticker inside the invitation.
Carriage Baby Shower Decorations
Aside from adorning the walls and tables with carriage balloons, centerpieces, banners and such, there are very fun ways to incorporate this theme into your party decorations. Construct a carriage out of sturdy paper to fill with treats for baby shower favors! They would look amazing displayed on main table. You can find a baby carriage favor box template (link) on etsy.
Baby Carriage Themed Centerpieces
Diaper cakes are a popular baby shower centerpiece and usually resemble real, edible cakes. Use the cloth diapers to create a carriage instead. The simple shape of a carriage lends to making this a quick and easy project, and it doubles as gift to the parents-to-be!
Another idea would be tocreate elegant floral arrangements using pastel-colored flowers and greenery. Place them in gold or silver vases and add a small carriage ornament for a touch of charm.
Baby Carriage Themed Food Ideas
Blow your guests away by incorporating the carriage theme into the food as well. Make a carriage shaped cake or carriage shaped cookies for dessert. For an extra special treat, hollow out a watermelon into the base of a carriage and use orange slices for the wheels. Fill the watermelon up with apple slices, grapes, and variety of berries and you’ve got a snack that doubles as decorations! Add lace around the edges of the watermelon for a cute accent.


Carriage Baby Shower Games
Planning baby shower games is where a lot of party hosts run into a wall when trying to include the theme of the shower. But don’t stress out, it can be as simple as using a cutout to make a baby word scramble or “how well do you know mommy” game into the shape of a carriage. You can also fashion a wicker basket into a carriage and fill it with jelly beans, and play “guess how many jelly beans are in the basket”.
If you have a large space like a backyard, try a physically active game for your guests, like “carriage race”. For this game you will need an actual carriage, which you can get at a second hand store (a stroller will do just fine if you can’t find a carriage) and a baby doll. Set up an obstacle course for the race, using cones or baby toys. Time each guest through the race track and the guest with the fastest time wins! Add time for things like running into a cone/toy or letting the baby fall out of the carriage.
Carriage Baby Shower Favors
Send your guests home with thoughtful and elegant carriage-themed favors to thank them for celebrating. Fill small carriage-shaped boxes with candies or chocolates. Attach a thank-you tag with a sweet message. Another cute idea would be to offer small candles in elegant holders with a carriage design. Personalize with a thank-you message and the date of the baby shower.
