Getting Started with Bunny Baby Shower Ideas
Bunny Baby Shower Theme Variations
The classic Peter Rabbit theme features vintage storybook illustrations, soft blues and creams, and old-fashioned countryside vibes. It's timeless, and Peter Rabbit party supplies are widely available. Incorporate actual storybook elements like printed pages or vintage-looking frames.
Modern minimalist bunny showers use neutral tones—whites, beiges, and sage green. Simple bunny silhouettes replace cartoonish faces with clean lines throughout. This sophisticated aesthetic is Instagram-worthy and perfect for modern homes.
The woodland bunny theme brings in other forest animals like foxes, deer, and hedgehogs. The earthy palette includes moss green, chocolate brown, soft cream, and rust orange. Use tree stumps as cake stands, incorporate moss, and hang paper lanterns for forest ambiance.
For outdoor celebrations, garden party bunny showers feature fresh flowers everywhere—hydrangeas, roses, and peonies. Set up with natural lighting and vintage furniture, using real carrots as decor. Always have a weather backup plan.
Popular bunny theme variations:
Classic Peter Rabbit: Vintage illustrations, countryside vibes, blues and creams
Modern Minimalist: Neutral colors, simple silhouettes, clean aesthetic
Woodland Creatures: Forest animals, earthy tones, natural elements
Garden Party: Fresh flowers, outdoor setting, romantic feel
"Some Bunny Loves You": Romantic pinks and whites, sweet sayings
Cottagecore: Lace details, vintage china, pastoral elements
Gender Neutral: Greens, yellows, whites for any baby
The "Some Bunny Loves You" theme works great for a romantic, dreamy feel with blush pink, white, and gold accents.
Cottagecore bunny aesthetic incorporates lace tablecloths, vintage teacups, and embroidered linens. It's like stepping into a fairytale cottage.
Gender-neutral bunny themes use sage, mint, olive greens, soft yellows, whites, and gray with natural wood elements.
Adorable Bunny Baby Shower Invitations
Invitations set the tone for everything. DIY printable bunny templates from Etsy ($5-$15) save money—download, customize, and print at home or through print shops like Staples or FedEx Office.
Custom watercolor bunny invitations from Etsy artists ($30-$80) can match your exact color scheme and incorporate specific design elements.
Interactive pop-up bunny cards create 3D bunnies or garden scenes when opened. These make lasting impressions and keepsakes.
Digital invitations are eco-friendly with automatic RSVP tracking. Paperless Post, Evite, and Greenvelope offer gorgeous bunny templates with immediate delivery.
Bunny invitation essentials:
Date, time, and location
Registry information or "your presence is present enough"
RSVP deadline (at least one week before)
Theme hints
Dress code if applicable
Special instructions like bringing books instead of cards
Bunny-shaped die-cut invitations are adorable but harder to mail with irregular shapes requiring extra postage.
Wording ideas with bunny puns:
"Some bunny is having a baby"
"Hippity hoppity, a baby's on the way"
"Our little bunny is hopping into the world"
"Ears to the new baby"
"Join us for a hoppy celebration"
Send invitations 6-8 weeks before the shower, especially if guests need to travel. Order 10% more than needed for mistakes and last-minute additions.

Bunny-Themed Decorations and Setup Ideas
Bunny balloon arrangements make huge visual impacts. Order balloon arches from local artists ($150-$400) or DIY using plastic strips from Amazon. Create simple bunny faces with white balloons, pink paper ears, drawn whiskers, and pom-pom noses. Make balloon "carrots" with orange balloons and green streamers.
Table centerpiece ideas:
Bunny figurines surrounded by flowers: Use ceramic bunnies with flowers in mason jars
Carrot bouquets: Tie real carrots with ribbon in vases with greenery
Moss and bunny combo: Cover floral foam with moss, add bunny figurines and spring flowers
Storybook centerpieces: Stack vintage children's books with bunny figurines on top
Bunny topiary: Topiary trees with bunny ear ribbons
Odd numbers work better for centerpieces—three flowers look better than four.
Bunny banners and garlands fill wall space effectively. Buy pre-made ($10-25) or DIY decorations using cardstock and templates.Hang above dessert tables, mantels, or outside.
Photo backdrops create Instagram-worthy opportunities. Professional floral walls cost $300-$800. Budget-friendly versions use flower panels from Amazon ($40-60) attached to frames. Bunny silhouette backdrops are easier—print large templates, trace onto poster board, cut out, and mount on colored backdrops.
Table setting breakdown:
Must-haves:
Bunny plates (paper or ceramic)
Napkins in your color scheme
Bunny napkin rings or folded bunny ears
Coordinating cups
Nice flatware if going fancy
Nice-to-haves:
Name cards with bunny designs
Small favor boxes at each setting
Personalized menu cards
DIY bunny tail decorations are easy and affordable. Hot glue white pom-poms (2-3 inches) to ribbon, hang from ceilings, attach to chair backs, or create garlands.
Lighting makes or breaks atmosphere. Use string lights with warm bulbs indoors, avoiding harsh fluorescents. Candles work beautifully for evening showers—group at different heights. Bunny-shaped candles are available at Target or Amazon.
Entrance decorations create immediate impact. Use bunny wreaths, welcome signs like "Some Bunny Special is on the Way," and balloon clusters. Add a bunny ear station for guests to grab headbands upon arrival.
Choose a few statement pieces rather than bunny overload—your eyes need places to rest.
Creative Bunny Baby Shower Food Ideas
Bunny-shaped sandwiches use bunny cookie cutters ($8-12 on Amazon) with firm bread. Make chicken salad, turkey and cheese, or cucumber cream cheese varieties. Make about 40 mini sandwiches from two loaves, serving 20-25 people. Prepare no more than 2 hours before to prevent sogginess.
"Carrot patch" vegetable display:
Fill rectangular dish with hummus
Smooth to look like dirt
Stick baby carrots vertically
Add carrot tops or parsley
Arrange celery, snap peas, and other veggies around
Takes 10 minutes and provides healthy options. Make two for 30 guests. For more summer baby shower food ideas or DIY baby shower food ideas, explore our complete guides.
Bunny face fruit platters arrange fruit into bunny shapes—strawberries and raspberries for faces, banana slices for ears, blueberries for eyes, blackberries for noses. Take photos before guests arrive since arrangements shift.
Easy Bunny Cupcakes:
Bake or buy plain cupcakes (vanilla or carrot cake)
Frost with white buttercream
Add two white marshmallows for ears
Use pink jellybean for nose
Draw whiskers with black food gel
Add mini chocolate chips for eyes
Takes 2 minutes per cupcake. Make 36-40 for 30 guests. Prep the day before and refrigerate.
Bunny cookies can be ordered from bakeries ($3-5 each) or DIY with cookie cutters and royal icing or store-bought frosting.
Cake pops in bunny faces or carrot shapes are trendy but difficult. Consider ordering from specialists or using Williams-Sonoma kits.
For bunny baby shower cakes, you have three main options. Professional bakery cakes cost $100-$300 for a two-tier cake serving 30-40 people. They look amazing, taste great, and are stress-free, but they're expensive and need a 2-3 week advance order—best for when budget allows.
Grocery store bakery cakes cost $40-$80 for a sheet cake serving 30-40. They're affordable, easy, and reliable, though less fancy with limited designs—best for budget-conscious showers.
DIY cakes cost $20-40 in supplies and offer a personal touch with full customization and cost savings, but they're time-consuming, s tressful, and may not turn out perfect—best for baking enthusiasts. Popular designs include bunny butt cakes, bunny face cakes, or cakes with bunny figurines. For more dessert ideas, visit our baby shower dessert table ideas guide.
"Bunny food" snack bar:
Baby carrots with ranch
Celery with peanut butter or cream cheese
Apple slices
Lettuce varieties
Snap peas
Bell pepper strips
Broccoli florets
Cotton tail donut holes are simply powdered donut holes arranged on platters. Get them from donut shops the morning of ($5-8 per dozen).
For themed beverages, serve "Bunny Juice" (pink drinks like strawberry lemonade), carrot-themed mocktails (carrot juice, orange juice, ginger, lime), or "Garden Spritzer" (Sprite with muddled cucumber and mint).
Always include gluten-free, nut-free, and vegetarian options with ingredient labels.
Bunny Baby Shower Games and Activities
"Pin the Tail on the Bunny" uses printable templates ($5) or DIY poster board. Use cotton ball pom-poms instead of paper tails with double-sided tape. Good prizes ($10-15) like candles or gift cards keep people engaged.
Baby predictions cards include questions like:
Baby's birth date
Baby's weight and length
Hair and eye color
Time of birth
Who baby will look like
Baby's first word
What baby will be when grown up
Bunny bingo uses baby-related words instead of numbers. Players mark items as gifts open. Play multiple rounds—regular bingo, four corners, coverall—for multiple winners.
"Guess How Many Carrots" fills a jar with mini carrots. Guests write guesses with names. Display near entrance for early arrivals.
Diaper raffles give guests raffle tickets for bringing diaper packs. Draw winner for nice prize ($30-50). Only do this if mom-to-be is comfortable.
Baby word scramble scrambles baby and bunny-related words:
RPAIDE = DIAPER
BNYUB = BUNNY
LTEBTO = BOTTLE
TARSCRO = CARROTS
SRNERUY = NURSERY
Give 5 minutes to complete. Most correct answers wins.
"Don't Say Baby" game gives guests bunny accessories upon arrival. They can't say "baby"—if caught, they lose their accessory. Most accessories at end wins. Keep it lighthearted.
Advice cards for parents let guests write funny or serious advice. Use nice cardstock with bunny designs for memory boxes.
Nursery rhyme quiz asks questions about bunny stories:
"In what story does a rabbit have a blue jacket?" (Peter Rabbit)
"Finish: Little bunny foo foo, hopping through the..." (forest)
"What vegetable does Peter Rabbit steal?" (lettuce, carrots, radishes)
Limit games to 3-4 total, spaced throughout the party. Avoid embarrassing games—stick with fun activities that don't make anyone cringe. For more entertainment options, explore our complete guide to baby shower games or check out co-ed baby shower games if you're hosting a mixed-gender celebration.
