Whether you host this baby shower indoors or in a backyard, the “Cherry on Top” theme is cheerful, fresh, and filled with love. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the arrival of a baby girl who is truly the sweetest addition!
To bring it all together, play soft background music, perhaps a playlist filled with sweet and happy tunes. You can even include songs with “sweet” or “cherry” in the title for fun. Create a cherry-themed welcome sign at the entrance, and add a guestbook where guests can write notes or well wishes.
Cherry Baby Shower Invitations
Start the celebration with sweet and cheerful invitations that set the tone for your cherry-themed baby shower. Use phrases like “A Sweet Little Cherry is on the Way!” or “Join Us to Celebrate the Cherry on Top!”
Design the invites with cute cherry illustrations, soft pink and red tones, and maybe a polka-dot pattern for a playful touch. You can go with printed cards or send digital invitations through platforms like Evite or Canva. Don’t forget to include all the important details: date, time, location, RSVP info, and registry details if applicable.
Cherry Baby Shower Decorations
Bring the cherry theme to life with bright and fun baby shower decorations! Use a color palette of cherry red, soft pink, white, and a pop of green to resemble the leaves. Hang cherry garlands and red paper lanterns from the ceiling. Use large cutouts of cherries as wall décor or a photo backdrop. You can even create balloon bouquets in red and green to mimic cherry bunches. Table runners with cherry prints and gingham tablecloths add a cozy, picnic-style vibe. Add signs that say things like “Sweet as a Cherry” or “The Cherry on Top!” to tie everything together.
Cherry Centerpieces
Centerpieces should be sweet and eye-catching. Use clear mason jars or glass vases filled with red flowers, such as carnations or roses, and accent them with mini faux cherry picks. Add a cherry-themed sign on a stick that says something like “A Sweet Baby is Blooming!” For a playful option, stack red cupcakes with a cherry topper on a tiered stand. You could also fill a clear vase with red and pink gumballs and top it with a baby toy or a mini cherry pie. Keep everything simple, colorful, and charming.
Cherry Baby Shower Games & Activities
Keep guests engaged with fun games and simple activities. Start with a “Guess How Many Cherries” game using a jar of cherry candies. “Who Knows Mommy Best?” can be customized with cherry-themed stationery. Play a baby name race where guests list as many names as they can starting with “C” for cherry.
For a creative activity, set up a “Decorate a Cherry Bib” or onesie station with cherry iron-ons, markers, and cute designs. Another sweet idea is a “Wishes for Baby” card table where guests write notes for the new arrival. Use cherry-printed cards to keep the theme going!
Cherry Baby Shower Food & Drinks
For food, think fresh, fruity, and fun! Create a cherry-inspired menu starting with cherry chicken salad served in mini croissants or on crackers. Offer a fruit platter with cherries, strawberries, and watermelon cut into heart or cherry shapes. Include mini quiches, cherry-glazed meatballs, or cherry tomato skewers with mozzarella and basil. For sweets, make cherry cupcakes, cherry pie bars, or cherry-flavored macarons. A cherry cobbler station can be a big hit!
For drinks, serve cherry lemonade or pink punch in mason jars with striped straws. Have a “Mom-osa” bar with cherry juice, sparkling water, and fruit garnishes for a fun twist. Label everything with cherry-themed food cards to match the vibe.
Cherry Baby Shower Favors
Send guests home with favors that are as sweet as the theme. Mini cherry jams in glass jars with tags that say “Thanks for Celebrating Our Little Cherry!” are always a hit. Cherry-shaped soaps, lip balms, or cherry-scented candles wrapped in clear bags tied with red ribbon are also great options.
Other fun favor ideas include cherry lollipops, pink and red candy in cherry-shaped containers, or mini cherry pies wrapped in cute boxes. Add a tag with a clever saying like “You’re the Cherry on Top!” to make it personal and memorable.
