Baby Shower Ideas: Antique Vintage Baby Shower Theme

New baby, old theme! When my husband and I were expecting our first baby boy, my family threw us the sweetest vintage inspired baby shower. Between the classic toys, muted color tones, and old books, I was living my antique dreams.

This baby shower theme comes with the sweetest vibe and its simple, minimalist feel gives hosts a break from feeling like they have to fill every corner with streamers and balloon arches. Throwing a shower can be an expensive affair, but this vintage theme means some homemade decor and desserts simply look on brand as opposed to a corner cut.

Many of these vintage bits and details were thrifted from local antique shops, thrift stores, and even dusted off from the attics of family members. What meant even more were the books, toys, and photos resurrected from mine or my husbands own childhoods.

Another fun little tidbit was the addition of book cards. Our invitations asked guests to bring a book instead of a card and write a personal note inside for our little one to read as he enjoys these books as he grows. These sweet books filled with the prayers and best wishes for his future now fill the shelves in his nursery.

I hope this baby shower theme idea inspires you party planners and helps get your shower plans started. Whether you're an expecting mom or a loving friend of relative, I wish you all the best as you shower a soon-to-be kiddo!
