What Whale it Be Baby Shower

Pink and White Candy

What Whale it Be Baby Shower

To me the summer time is all about the ocean and nautical themes. One of my boys lives in Vineyard Vines clothes. And since I find myself in their stores a lot, I was inspired to style a Whale Baby Shower. This shower is preppy and sweet, and absolutely perfect for any gender reveal or baby shower theme! 

Whale Party Candy

Host a Baby Shower or Gender Reveal

I have been dying to host a summer themed baby shower for anyone, but, no one is having babies! So, I styled one I love! 

Preppy Whale Party

I started with my party theme when I was thinking of decorations, and since I am all about a budget, I DIY’d all of this darling little party. This baby shower can be recreated for about fifteen to twenty guests for just under $200. (Be sure to check out all of this week’s posts for more Baby Shower Party inspiration, and free printables to help keep your party on budget!)

Make a Backdrop that can be reused

Big impact for low cost can be a challenge sometimes, but I was able to make an adorable preppy whale sign for less than $15! I used a 2×2′ piece of plywood and framed it with 1×1″.

Then, I painted the whole thing white.

Once the white paint was fully dry, I used painter tape to tape off horizontal stripes, and painted the board pink. I removed the painters tape before the paint was fully dry. Once the stripes were dry, I used more painter’s tape to create vertical stripes, and {again} painted the board pink. This created a gingham backdrop.

After the pink paint dried, I sketched a whale similar to the printables and painted it teal. This took several coats of paint.

If this was a baby shower for a real baby, I would have painted the baby’s name under the whale to make a personal gift for the parents to be!

Baby Shower Food

I always bring in food for showers. Sandwich rings are always a big hit and are affordable for a crowd. I also buy store bought dessert treats from the freezer or bakery. The morning of the shower, I cut up fresh fruit and veggies.

The dessert table is filled with color coordinated candies and other treats.
