Consider this your ULTIMATE guide to planning the perfect teddy bear themed baby shower for any gender baby!
This theme is so cute. From invitations to decor and food, we’ve got everything you need to host and put together a “we can bearly wait” baby shower party.
We Can Bearly Wait Baby Shower Essentials
Below are our favorites to grab for your teddy bear baby shower.
We’ll start with the basics any party has to have (invitations, a cake, minimal decor, etc.) and then give you some “extra” ideas if you are really trying to impress.
1. We Can “Bearly” Wait Party Invitations
First on the to-do list is to send out invitations.
These two are our absolute favorites that are affordable but pretty. Just fill in the information about the mommy-to-be and the date, time, and address of the party.
Don’t forget to list where the mom is registered at!
Since these already come with the envelopes, just buy some stamps at the store and you can get these in the mail in a flash.
2. Teddy Bear Graham Chocolate Covered Strawberries
This idea is so simple but absolutely adorable for a Teddy Bear themed baby shower!
Order chocolate covered strawberries (or make them yourselves) and put a teddy graham on each one.
It’s so on theme and doesn’t take much artistic talent.
You could probably even order regular chocolate covered strawberries and “glue” a teddy graham on each one yourself using a bit of frosting or melted chocolate.
3. Simple We Can “Bearly” Wait Party Banner
If you’re looking to keep the decor relatively simple, we don’t blame you one bit.
A simple banner like these though can really emphasize the theme and is super easy to hang up.
It’s cheap, takes minimal effort to setup, and is super cute to take pictures in front of!
4. Custom Bear Cookies
Use these as party favors, add them to the dessert table, or just have them out for guests to enjoy and admire.
They’re almost too pretty to eat! You can find local custom cookie bakers in your area that will make custom cookies like this for you.
Just keep in mind that normally these aren’t cheap.
It takes the baker hours to put such attention to detail into custom cookies like these so expect to splurge a bit if you opt to find something similar.
5. Disposable Plates and Napkins
Skip the dishes and go for disposable paper plates, napkins, cups, and silverware.
These were our two favorite sets you can find on Amazon. They have the cutest patterns and fit the theme exactly!
Make sure you order a pack with enough for all of the guests attending plus a few extra.
If you need to order a second set, do it!
6. Hire a Back Drop or Balloon Arch Artist
Feeling fancy? Hire someone who comes to setup back drops for parties or someone who does balloon displays!
Of course, you could try to DIY as well.
Especially if the mother-to-be enjoys a good photo op, then these are worth the investment.
You can take so many cute pictures in front of these types of displays!
7. Baby Advice Station
Let each guest leave a card with advice for the new parents!
These create a special keepsake for the mother and get the guests involved.
It’s a great “activity” for them to work on while mingling or after eating.
8. We Can Bearly Wait Cake
Go ahead and put ordering a cake on your to-do list.
No baby shower is complete without cake! We loved the design on this one by @theaaffectllc and wanted to show it off.
Whether you go for a decorated sheet cake or a three layer beauty, cake is an essential element to any shower!
9. Baby Shower Party Games: Bear Themed
Planning a few baby shower games is always a great idea.
It helps take up some time, creates memories for the mother-to-be and guests, and is just a fun thing to do.
There were actually SO many adorable games for this baby shower theme on Amazon that we really had a hard time narrowing them down.
10. Cute Bear Table Centerpieces
Don’t forget to come up with a few cute centerpieces for the table.
Using bear stuffed animals is an easy option! This display looks really nice with the stuffed animal bear holding on to some neutral balloons.
You could also just create one centerpiece to go in the middle of the food table.
This creates less stress than trying to create several centerpieces!
11. Bear Shaped Toothpicks for Appetizers, Fruits, Dessert
Here’s another really easy idea to help you bring the “bear” theme into the party.
Order some fun toothpicks with bears on them!
You can have these out next to the fruit or veggie tray, or any other little finger foods that a toothpick could be handy for picking up.
Go ahead and stick these in some cheese cubes for a pretty platter.
12. Bearly Wait Welcome Sign
Don’t forget a fun sign that features the bearly wait theme! You can normally custom order these on Etsy.
13. Label Water Bottles with These Stickers
Using mini or regular water bottles, remove the old labels and add these festive stickers instead.
This keeps the drink station looking festive and if you have any leftover, guests can take them home with them!
It’s another easy and affordable way to bring the bear theme into the baby shower.
14. We Can Bearly Wait Party Favors
Say thank you to the guests in attendance with little party favors at the end of the shower.
No need for anything fancy, these picks would be great tossed together in a small little goodbye goodie bag.
Aren’t they the cutest? You could also use these as baby shower game prizes!
15. Outdoor Teddy Bear Decor
If you’re using a venue, a fun balloon piece of decor like this is fun for directing guests on what room the shower is being held in.
Or you could use a display like this simply as decor at the shower.
16. Guess How Many Teddy Grahams Are in The Jar
This idea is the BEST for a bear themed shower. Simply set out a jar filled with Teddy Graham’s and set up this fun game.
The winner gets to take home the jar of delicious Teddy Grahams!
17. Teddy Bear Baby Shower Table Confetti
Don’t forget confetti! You can put some confetti in the invitation envelopes, spread out on the tables, and a variety of other places as well.
It’s a fun little addition to the shower that again emphasizes the bear theme.
Conclusion
Planning a We Can “Bearly” Wait baby shower is actually a relatively easy theme to host. There are so many things available on Amazon to make it simple.
The mom-to-be will absolutely love being spoiled with this adorable party theme for her baby shower!
