Shabby Chic Baby Shower Invites
For a shabby chic-themed baby shower invitation, you can incorporate vintage roses, burlap, mason jars, pink bow, or even string lights on a rustic wooden background. Soft pastel colors and floral designs beautifully complement the rustic elements, while twine bows or wooden embellishments add a final charming touch.
Shabby Chic Baby Shower Decorations
Whether you hold the event in the backyard or in a sunroom porch, decorations should be sweet and light with plenty of burlaps, laces, doilies and vintage rose designs. Tables that house gifts, activities, food, and beverages can be done creatively with pieces of distressed furniture. This gives the ultimate shabby chic look.
You can throw lace or burlap runner across a white fabric table cover for guest tables and fill a mason jar full of baby’s breath and pale-hued hydrangeas. Glass plates, goblets, and vintage inspired floral teacups are a nice touch to the guest tables as well. Create a big backdrop behind the main cake table that has a white, fairytale-esque frame with signage inside that has a welcome message for the new baby.
Hang flag banners made of beautiful burlap or doilies and make garland out of tiny baby onesies in bright colors of butter yellow, mint, and blush pink. Have serving platters in sky blue and peach, with vibrant lilacs placed in jars all along the venue. Hang up ribbon tassels in those same kinds of calming shades and have mellow-scented candles lit around the space to set the lovely mood.

Shabby Chic Baby Shower Food
For the food, keep it brunch style with lots of healthy and decadent fares alike. Shabby chic is all about being timeless and chick without being overcomplicated, so keep the cake and other desserts simple. Instead of a single cake, maybe opt for a multi-tiered platter lined with cupcakes that have different soft colors of frosting and floral accents.
Other staple treats can be parfait cups with strawberries, white chocolate-dipped Oreos, pastel-hued macaroons, and baby carriage sugar cookies. Fill big glass jars with jelly beans and Jordan almonds, and have a beverage station that includes a theme of lemonade, tea, or even chocolate milk.
For saltier foods, remember to keep it light and flavorful. Veggie and cheese trays are great ideas for this, along with sandwiches, croissants, and English muffins complete with lots of options for spreads and dips.
