How to Throw a Teddy Bear Baby Shower

Teddy bear baby showers are perfect for every season, although their cuddly furry characteristics make them particularly appealing during the colder months. Something about teddy bears makes you want to curl up by a cozy, warm fire. However, you can adapt your venue and decorations to whatever the mother-to-be desires. 

There are many potential teddy bear baby shower themes out there, and you can easily customize color schemes and decorations to be gender-neutral or for boys or girls. Here are just a few possible baby shower themes: 

• We Can Bearly Wait
• Winnie the Pooh 
• Beary Cute

Example Teddy Bear Shower Schedule

While you don’t have to have a schedule for a baby shower, we like to have a general idea of what will happen throughout the day.

Here’s a sample schedule for a fall baby shower:

1-1:30 pm – Guests arrive and mingle

1:30 – 2 pm – Shower Hostess says a few words and outlines what to expect with when you’re planning food, games and gift opening. This would also be a good time to do a warm up game, like our favorite baby scavenger hunt. This game can help other guests meet each other. If you’re doing a diaper raffle, we recommend introducing it at this time so guests have time to drop off their gift and fill out any raffle entries.

2 – 3 pm – Food and drinks are available

3-4 pm – Baby shower gift opening and diaper raffle. We like to sprinkle raffle prizes in between gifts to keep guests engaged and entertained.

If you’re having part of your shower virtual, this is a great time to have guests log into Zoom!

4-5 pm – Final games and goodbyes
