You can make it a casual gathering with lots of fun games, decor, food and drinks.

Add some balloon garland to the mix to really jazz things up. You can easily make one on your own by getting a DIY balloon garland kit. Use colorful balloons such as yellow, blue, red and white. And even animal-shaped like elephants and lions. Hang streamers from the ceiling to mimic a circus tent. All things you can find at the dollar store!

The decorations also consisted mainly of different colored tissue paper cut outs in animal shapes such as lions, tigers, elephants, etc.
For party favors/decor, you can get some stuffed animals from Amazon. Cute and not very expensive.
The best thing about a circus baby shower might just be the cotton candy!
You can make mini cotton candy decor by making little cones out of paper and gluing on little cotton balls, spray painted pink and blue. (or use real cotton candy)
Cotton candy is easy and fun to make! You simply thread the puff of cotton candy on a paper straw and use tape or hot glue to attach the tag. - Makes great party favors too!
