Take everyone for a nice trip among the clouds with a charming hot air balloon themed baby shower!
A hot air balloon theme for a baby shower is a whimsical and delightful choice. By incorporating a color scheme that reflects the light and airy feel of hot air balloons, such as soft pastels or a combination of vibrant hues, your hot air balloon-themed baby shower is sure to be a soaring success!
Hot Air Balloon Baby Shower Invitations
For those thinking of making an invitation, start off making some circle shape on a nice patterned cardstock paper to resemble a balloon and beneath it a basket shape. Cut it out and paste this cutout on another piece of paper that will make up the invitation. This way your invitations speak for themselves: We are having a Hot Air Balloon theme baby shower hooray!
Hot Air Balloon Baby Shower Decorations
If your theme revolves around pastels there are soft rainbow pastel colored balloons. You can still keep the background decorations and covers such as table covers white or very light blue as this would resemble clouds or the sky. You could also use white balloons to resemble clouds around the main dessert table.
One of my favorite decorations I have seen that I think would work perfectly for this theme are ‘upholstered’ helium balloons. You can use tulle or any thin decorative fabric to upholster the balloons.
Balloon Centerpieces
Create balloon centerpieces with mini hot air balloons. Use baskets, boxes or small containers as the baskets. Add a balloon or paper lantern on top for a handmade hot air balloon centerpiece. You can place the mini hot air balloons on guest tables.
Cloud Backdrop
Set up a backdrop resembling fluffy clouds to enhance the hot air balloon theme. Add oversized hot air balloon cutouts for a whimsical touch.
Hot Air Balloon Diaper Cake
Build a diaper cake in the shape of a hot air balloon. Use diapers, baby essentials, and ribbons to craft this adorable centerpiece.
Balloon Release
Consider having a balloon release at the end of the baby shower. Choose biodegradable balloons in colors that match the theme for an eco-friendly option.
