Teddy Bear Baby Shower Cake
I know this isn’t the typical home scenery post you typically see then, but I wanted to validate this special day and allow you to enjoy seeing it too. We just had the cutest Teddy Bear Baby Shower Cake theme for my little family, and I ’m going to be an aunt in about a month from now! We’ve waited and supplicated for this sweet little girl for so long, and I can’t stay to meet her and watch my family become a mommy.
I was in charge of all the decorating and created some fun Teddy Bear Baby Shower Cake centerpieces, a lot of conditioning in lieu of traditional baby shower games, and a huge print background complete with a diy balloon symposium. One thing I love about this shower theme is that it could fluently be used for a girl, boy, multiples, or someone staying to find out the gender of their baby!
I allowed myself to partake in all the particulars we used for the baby shower, how I made the balloon decorations and print background, and some tips for easy, affordable party planning. Be sure to just/ save this post for future reference!
TEDDY BEAR THEMED BABY SHOWER

Teddy Bear Baby Shower Cake Themed
Decorating ideas for the sweetest Teddy Bear Baby Shower Cake theme with an easy print background, diy balloon symposium, and teddy bear balloon centerpieces. See all the details on love growing wild my beautiful little family, Kristina. We used a veritably simple neutral color palette for the shower to go with the Teddy Bear Baby Shower Cake theme white, cream, tan, brown, and a many pops of rose gold and pink. The pink could fluently be switched out to blue for a little boy.
DIY Print Background
I wanted to produce a focal point in the room where she could open gifts and take filmland with her guests. I planted this background stand online and ordered it knowing I could always vend it once the shower was over. I searched and searched for affordable, but nice looking fabric backgrounds, and formerly I planted one I liked … I realized it literally looks identical to the curtains we picked out for my mama’s living room at the Armstrong House – a solid knockout faceless fabric in back with a sheer white subcaste on top.
It was suitable to save a good quantum of plutocrats by adopting mama’s curtains, but you can find an analogous background then! The stage came in several different sizes, but I chose the6.5 x10.5 ′ option that I allowed would work stylish for prints and give me enough space to add the balloon symposium. It comes with an accessible storehouse bag and is principally two tripods with several bars that attach on top. I was upset about the stage being sturdy enough to hold the weight of the heavy curtains and balloons each across the front, but it held up impeccably indeed without using the sandbags that are voluntary, but included. It also comes with two side clips and two large clips for the top to help hold the background in place.
Another clean ornament I ordered became this set of obvious containers that seem like blocks to spell out the word “ baby”. You can select from numerous distinctive colors (I went with white) and fill them with mini balloons in case you need to fit the subject of your party. They were really quick to assemble and balanced out the contrary side of the balloon symposium. We folded them flat again after the shower was over and gave them to my family to use when the baby girl turns one. The set came with all the letters of the ABC (plus an redundant B for baby), so you could spell out other words like bday, one, girl, boy, love, etc.
My mama was in charge of food for the shower, and she ordered the most lovable goodies from the original bakery, eyefuls, cupcakes, cutlet pops and macarons in our Teddy Bear Baby Shower Cake theme and colors. These eyefuls were by far my favorite!
DIY BALLOON Symposium
I really wanted to see if I could pull off making one of these amazing balloon libraries, so I ordered all the inventories and crossed my fritters that it would each come together on shower day. You ca n’t make these balloon decorations in advance because there’s a good chance they will lose air or pop during transport, and I also had to travel 4 hours to where my family lives for the shower.
Firstly I had planned on having many further hands to help (I ’ll share that crazy story at the end of the post), but it ended up being just my mama and I with only an hour to spare before party time to whip this entire balloon symposium together. I presumably could have tinkered with it for two further hours to make it “ perfect”, but with literally seconds to spare before guests arrived, we hung it up in the background and called it good. It turned out so lovable and was well worth the chaos and sore fritters from balloon tying. 🙂
Then what I used for the balloon symposium
- binary snoot electric balloon pump
- brown neutral balloon symposium tackle
- balloon hand pump – 2 pack
- twine or string
- scissors
- plastic balloon tying tool – 4 pack ( voluntary)
* The balloon symposium tackle I bought came with a balloon holder strip and cement blotches, but if you buy your own balloons independently, you’ll need to buy those as well.
Instructions Use an electric balloon pump to inflate your balloons and tie a knot to secure them. Push the knot of a balloon through a hole in the balloon strip, working your way from one end of the strip to the other and interspersing balloon colors as you go. Once your strip is filled, attach it to the background stand or to removable hooks on the wall using twine.
TIPS
This particular tackle came with 5 ″ balloons, 10 ″ balloons, and a many large 18 ″ balloons. I recommend using substantially the 10 ″ balloons on the strip and adding the larger 18 ″ balloons spaced throughout the symposium. Use the 5 ″ balloons in tight spots where you can’t fit a 10 ″ balloon, and use the cement blotches to attach the rest of the small balloons to the symposium to fill in bare spots and holes once you’re all finished with the bigger balloons.
Balloon colors the tackle I bought came with white, raw, and brown balloons, plus some double subcaste balloons. The double subcaste balloons have either a black balloon inside a raw balloon or a raw balloon inside a white balloon. When blown up together, they add some color variation in different tones of tan/ brown, so don’t be confused when you open up your package to see black balloons you weren’t waiting for. Still, the balloon pump would not blow up these double subcaste balloons.
We ended up not using the black bones and just blowing everything up as single subcaste balloons because we were too short on time to troubleshoot the issue, and it turned out OK. We just had three colors on the symposium rather than the five tones we should have.
The hand pump is great for blowing up small balloons. The electric pump can blow them up too snappily and pop the 5 ″ balloons if you ’re not careful, but the hand pump gives you a little further control. Presumably the worst part of this entire design is tying all the balloons. I bought little plastic tying tools to make it easier, but spent too long trying to watch the videotape on how to use it and just demanded to get these balloons done as snappily as possible. We tied them all by hand, and our fritters were raw.
My stylish advice for creating one of these balloon libraries is to have several sets of hands to help and give yourself plenty of time. However, it would have been ideal to at least start this process the night ahead, but we couldn’t get into the structure until 1000 that day, If we had the shower at someone’s house rather than an event space. It truly isn’t delicate to do, just tedious! But it really does produce a wow factor for your party scenery.
