33 Woodland Baby Shower Themes & Ideas

One of my favorite baby shower themes is a woodland/foresty theme! If you are throwing a woodland baby shower, you will need lots of ideas to make your event the best it can be. In this post I will provide you with lots of specific woodland baby shower themes, decoration ideas, and food ideas!

The cool thing about a woodland baby shower is that there are themes that work for both boys and girls!

You can really go a lot of different directions. For example, you can theme the shower off of a specific animal like foxes or bears. Or, you can do something more garden/rustic themed!

So, are you ready to see all the inspiration? Let’s get right into it!
