Celebrity Baby Showers (Glam Inspired Ideas)
Are you looking for ideas for an upcoming baby shower? There’s no better place to draw inspiration than from the over-the-top, glitzy, and glamorous baby showers that celebrities throw and host for their loved ones or themselves.
Since most celebrities love to be the center of attention, their baby showers and celebrations are flashy, extravagant, and often outrageous.
However, many elements can be borrowed from these events and used for your event on a dialed-down scale. Or, if you’re up for it, you can go big just like your favorite celeb. Here are some memorable, unique, and lavish baby showers that celebrities have stunned us with in recent years.

Celebrity Baby Shower Invitations
We haven’t seen many celebrity shower invitations, but the ones we have seen are pretty lavish and impressive.
Take Kim Kardashian’s, for example. Her baby shower for her first daughter, North West, featured a music box with a twirling ballerina inside. The Kardashian family is known for their ostentatious displays of wealth, and Kim’s baby shower invitation was no exception. Rather than sending a card in the mail like us normal folks, Kim took it above and beyond by having her music box invitations hand delivered to local family and friends.
There are so many ways you can get creative with your shower invitations without spending thousands of dollars. Order a package of baby shower invitations with raffle tickets, book request cards, and more for guests to bring with them to the shower. Ordering pre-made invitations can also help you narrow down a theme!

Celebrity Baby Shower Themes
Baby shower themes aren’t entirely necessary, but a theme makes it easy to choose certain elements including colors, activities, entertainment, food, venue, and more. Themes can be guidelines to follow throughout planning or just an avenue to draw inspiration from.
Here are a few of the most iconic, creative, and memorable baby showers thrown for or by celebrities in recent years.
Queen B herself hosted a Carter Push Party to celebrate the upcoming arrival of her twins with husband Jay-Z. The Nigerian theme featured elaborate wall tapestries, Afrobeat music, an epic performance from drummers and dancers, and delicious soul food was served.
To celebrate the upcoming birth of her son, Cardi B enjoyed a magical fairy tale baby shower theme, with over 20,000 flowers and a 16-foot floral facade for guests to marvel at. Entertainment included a hip-hop orchestra and a performance by a ballet company.
Jessica Simpson’s third baby shower for her daughter, Birdie, was a boho dream. Designed with earthy elements like marble and lush greenery, the outdoor shower featured sparkling chandeliers, pampas, and other foliage, and activities included creating flower crowns and learning to fold origami.
Kylie Jenner’s pajama party-themed baby shower for her daughter was under wraps for months (as was the pregnancy), but we got glimpses of the celebration once Stormi was born. At her second shower, Kylie went with an outdoor jungle giraffe theme. It was moody with low lighting and romantic tablescapes.
Fixer Upper star Joanna Gaines celebrated her fifth child, Crew, with a book-themed baby shower where attendees brought their favorite childhood books as gifts. It was a simple theme that basically designed itself!
Khloe Kardashian’s baby shower for her first daughter, True Thompson, was an elaborate affair — with interesting design elements like elephants made from leaves, thousands of flowers suspended from the ceiling, marquee signs, balloons scattered around the venue, and much more.

Celebrity Baby Shower Cakes
Cakes can be understated or can totally steal the show at any shower. We’ve seen the Pinterest-inspired diaper cake for many years now, along with many elaborate designs, multi-tiers, and incredibly artistic expressions.
Malika Haaq, Khloe Kardashian’s BFF, had a bear-themed shower for her little man featuring this elaborate 4-tier cake.
Blake Lively’s laidback outdoor autumn baby shower featured a woodsy 3-tier cake decorated with fall blooms.
Tia Mowry’s shower for her daughter was sweet, pink, and bohemian garden party themed. The cake went perfectly in line with this theme; its cream base was covered in tropical flowers, lush greenery, and an adorable pink filling.

Celebrity Baby Registry
Hollywood’s finest may have all the riches, but most still create a baby registry so their loved ones can send gifts for their shower.
Some celebs partner with big retailers like Amazon to curate a list of baby essentials to help other expecting parents plan their own registries. Here are some of the popular baby registry items that should be on your list.
Soon-to-be mama of four, Blake Lively, has previously shared some of her must-have baby items on Amazon, including Dr. Brown’s baby bottles, the Halo infant bassinet, Honest diapers, and a handy baby food maker.
Khloe Kardashian’s Amazon registry included an Ubbi steel odor-locking diaper pail, the UPPAbaby stroller system, and the 4moms MamaRoo baby swing.
Pop star Halsey’s baby registry is filled with affordable, gender-neutral baby items like Copper Pearl bandanas, Kickee Pants onesies, a Boppy nursing pillow, and the popular Hatch sound machine and nightlight.
