This theme is versatile, gender-neutral, and perfect for creating a sweet and memorable event. Here are some creative ideas to help you plan a “Cute as a Button” baby shower.
Cute as a Button Baby Shower Invitations
Set the tone with invitations that feature button motifs and pastel colors. Choose a design with buttons in various shapes and sizes, along with phrases like “Cute as a Button” or “A Little Button is on the Way!” You can even add a small, real button to the invitation as a cute and tactile embellishment. Use playful fonts and soft colors to evoke a warm and inviting feel.
Cute as a Button Baby Shower Decors
You cannot have too many buttons weaved into your decorations for a “Cute as a Button” baby shower, so don’t be afraid to really go all out with these little buggers! Garlands of metallic buttons, hanging door strands of rainbow-colored buttons, and party signs that spell out welcome words to the little upcoming “Sew Cute” baby in buttons are all great party staples to have.
Big balloons with buttons carefully glued on to them, and clear jars filled with buttons to house sweet floral centerpieces are also perfect for the theme. Line tablecloth edges with all sizes of buttons and even pick up matching button eating ware sets for the guests! Create tumbler cups that guests can take home with them with plenty of button designs and have apothecary jars of colorful cookie buttons on the main table. Pastel ribbons and bows are also a great compliment for decorations.
Centerpieces
Design unique centerpieces that incorporate the button theme. Fill clear jars or vases with buttons and add a candle or fresh flowers. Another idea is to use small sewing baskets filled with sewing notions and buttons. You can also create button topiaries by gluing buttons onto foam balls and placing them on candlesticks or small pots.

Bring in an elaborate event cake in the shape of a giant button with a cute baby topper, or a multi-tiered cake with button accents and the new baby’s name across the front. Sugar cookies in the shape of buttons correspond brilliantly with likewise imaged cakepops and macaroons. Have food labels adorned with buttons and if you can, get your hands on some sweet candies that mimic buttons in all shapes and sizes. Be sure to have little “Cute as a Button” signs placed all over the food table, or even written in frosting.
Cute as a Button Baby Shower Games
Engage your guests with fun, button-themed activities and games. Host a “Button Scavenger Hunt” where guests search for hidden buttons around the venue.

For a creative activity, set up a “Button Craft Station” where guests can decorate picture frames, create button art, or make button jewelry. This not only entertains guests but also provides them with a handmade keepsake to take home.
Cute as a Button Photo Booth Props
