Such a beautiful baby shower backdrop for a woodland theme!
A woodland baby shower theme can be cute, playful, and perfect for celebrating the arrival of a new little one. Here are some ideas for bringing this theme to life:
- Decorations: Use nature-inspired decorations, such as pine cones, acorns, and leaves, along with soft lighting and natural materials, like burlap and twine, to create a warm and cozy atmosphere.
- Food: Serve a menu that fits with the woodland theme, such as mini cupcakes with animal toppers, or a forest-themed fruit platter.
- Games: Consider woodland-themed games, such as a diaper raffle, or a forest-themed memory game.
- Favors: Give your guests a little something to take home, such as a small potted plant, a candle in a tin, or a custom-made woodland animal cookie.
- Invitations: Choose invitations that match the theme, with a cute woodland animal design or a forest landscape.
- Dessert table: Create a beautiful dessert table with a variety of woodland-themed sweets, such as acorn sugar cookies, or a forest-themed cake.
- Photo booth: Set up a photo booth with woodland-themed props, such as animal masks and leafy backdrops, for your guests to enjoy.
- Centerpieces: Create a beautiful centerpiece using natural elements, such as a wooden box filled with moss and small woodland animals, or a bouquet of wildflowers.
These are just a few ideas to get you started, and there are many other ways to incorporate the woodland theme into your baby shower. You can also add your own personal touch to make the day unique and special.
Woodland Baby Shower Cake Ideas
image source: unknown - pinterest
I love the minimal look of this woodland-themed baby shower cake!
Some baby shower cakes tend to get too complicated, which immediately sends me running! When planning a baby shower, you don't need or want complicated, right?!
For this cake, all you need to do is buy 2 boxed cake mixes (yes, boxed! they make them sooo delicious and moist these days.) Pour them into 4 round cake pans and bake.
Cool completely and frost lightly with vanilla frosting, using this magic tool ... and please know, I am not a pro at cake making. This is just my easy, go-to method.
After frosting, you can top the cake with cute little forest creatures and rosemary greenery (above), or you can add the cute woodland cake toppers below. The cake toppers come in both boy and girl versions.
The wonderful thing about a woodland baby shower is that it fits into any season of the year. Spring, summer, fall or winter ... it's always perfect!

Cheese, diced onions, jalapeños, sour cream, Fritos, Saltine crackers, hot sauce, corn muffins.
