8. Try a beach mini golf or golfing theme 

A really cute baby shower theme that is great for summer! 


9. Balloon arch anchored in the sand 

This makes an amazing focal point for the party! Because it’s on sand, the frame can be anchored with sandbags, buckets filled with sand, or weighted coolers. Place it near the entrance or behind the cake table so it also becomes a natural photo spot for guests. 


10. Entwine balloons with pretty blooms 

Or netting, for a dreamy look that is just right for summer! You could even decorate further with some additions such as shells/shell themed props.

18. A turtle baby shower theme

A unique twist on the traditional 'under the sea' theme, everyone loves turtles! You could set up a special party area called 'the hatchery' where guests can sit - and even set up a turtle adoption sanctuary stall for guests so they can 'adopt' their own turtle plushie as a party favour option.

19. Arrange some pretty shell table decor 

Seashell decorations bring a natural beach feel to the table settings. You could scatter small shells across the tables, place them around candles, or use larger shells as holders for place cards. Combining shells with sand, small lanterns, or glass jars can elevate the look - or arrange shells on their own for a rustic and romantic look!

35. Set up a coconut shy party game 

A coconut shy is a classic carnival-style game that works perfectly at a beach party. To set it up, stack coconuts or coconut-shaped balls on a small stand, crates, or wooden boxes, and have guests take turns trying to knock them down by throwing soft balls or beanbags. Each player gets a few throws, and you can offer small prizes for anyone who manages to topple all the coconuts. The game is simple, fun, and adds a playful fairground vibe to the party. 


36. Pineapple & coconut themed desserts

Tropical desserts help tie the food into the beach theme. Pineapple cupcakes, coconut macaroons, pineapple upside-down cake, parfaits to eat on the go and coconut ice cream are all delicious options. Using tropical fruits also makes the dessert table colourful and visually appealing.


37. Beach volleyball tournament 

A beach volleyball tournament is a great way to keep guests active and entertained. Divide everyone into teams and set up a casual competition with short matches. You can even give teams fun names and offer small prizes for the winners, making it feel like a playful beach championship. 



38. Try a 'here's the scoop' ice cream sundae theme 

Enjoy a retro twist with this theme - why not create a 50s esque diner theme - think ice cream sundaes, loaded popcorn in mini striped popcorn boxes - you could rent an ice cream cart and serve some cream soda floats with blue bubblegum ice cream and striped straws!

39. Set up a blue ombre macaron or donut tower 

This will look so striking and emulate the colours of the sand and sea! 


40. Play a game of 'don't say baby'  

At the start of the party, all guests are given something to wear - you could give each guest a clothespin/peg or a sash to wear! - then for the duration of the party, no one is allowed to mention the word 'baby'. If someone is to mention the word, the first individual to call it out gets to steal their clothespin/item/sash. The individual with the most items at the end of the party wins!


41. Try a sandcastle building competition 

Low cost and so much fun! To make it fair, everyone could rate each others by giving a score, that is then added up at the end to decide the winner! 


42. Beach scavenger hunt 

A beach scavenger hunt turns the shoreline into an adventure. Create a list of items or challenges such as finding unique shells, driftwood pieces, or objects of certain colors. Guests can work individually or in teams 


43. Try a Sunday brunch theme 

With pancakes and waffles, plus cute newspaper style party touches for a relaxed lazy Sunday brunch theme. You could include some dreamy coastal colours - a dreamy brunch by the sea theme, with all the gorgeous brunch food options!

These are great for party favours and look so stylish too! You could make some blue coloured popcorn - make this by using a few drops of food colouring along with corn syrup and butter (follow this recipe here!) - divide into parcels and give each a cute sticker, for some easy, low cost party favours for guests. 



48. Host a bubble themed baby shower 

A super cute 'she's about to pop!' bubble party theme! Bubbles are something that younger guests will love also! A bubble machine would be perfect for this - you can even rent them in some places - but if you can't get your hands on one, hand blown bubbles would be perfect! You could even hold small contests for guests, such as, who can blow the biggest bubble, or who can pop the most bubbles in one go, or within a certain time frame. 


49. A 'sea you soon baby' shower theme 

You could even bake some madeleines, enrobe them in blue coloured white chocolate and accent with some edible silver foil pieces.

52. Set up a coconut bowling game 

Coconut bowling is a funny beach game where guests roll a coconut toward a row of bottles or skittles set up like bowling pins. The uneven shape of the coconut makes it unpredictable and entertaining. It’s easy to set up and works so well for quick rounds between other activities! 


53. DIY a special summer themed cupcake pullapart 

To make this, you will need a whole set of un iced, plain cupcakes, along with some icing in a few different colours to decorate with. Choose your favourite summer design - it could be a shell, a surfboard, a sun design or a lemon - any simple design will do. Arrange your cupcakes in your chosen formation, then layer the frosting all over the top of them, like joining the dots, ice them to create one whole shape. Then decorate and voila!
