Baby shower party theme
Plan a baby shower party theme around a two-bowl slushie machine: alcohol-free flavors for the parent to be, pastel colors, food, games, and printables.
A baby shower party theme works best with an alcohol-free slushie machine: Strawberry Banana and Lemonade in the two bowls, pastel decor, and a chocolate sugar rim. The parent to be, kids, and every guest can enjoy the same frozen drinks.
The look
Soft pastels: mint, blush, butter yellow, and sky blue, or a theme like "Oh baby," "Little cutie," or "Ready to pop."
- A pastel balloon garland around the drink table
- A clothesline of tiny baby clothes above the machine
- Fresh flowers in baby bottles or small jars
- A diaper cake as the centerpiece
- A sign by the machine: "Sip and see" or "Ready to pop"
- Pastel cups and paper straws
The two bowls
Since the parent to be skips alcohol, keep the main machine alcohol-free.
| Option | Bowl 1 | Bowl 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Sweet and simple | Strawberry Banana | Lemonade |
| Little cutie | Orange Dreamsicle | Strawberry |
| Pastel pair | Watermelon | Lemonade |
| Mocktail brunch | Peach Bellini (alcohol-free) | Strawberry Kiwi |
Alcohol-free by design
Every mix is alcohol-free until you add alcohol, so all of these are ready as is. If some guests want a grown up drink, rent a second machine with a Frosé or Strawberry Margarita, keep it at a separate table, and label it "21 and up." Label the alcohol-free bowls clearly too.
Rim and garnish
- Chocolate Cocktail Sugar on Strawberry Banana for a banana split taste
- Peppermint Cocktail Sugar on Lemonade or Vanilla for a fresh twist
- Tajín Classic Seasoning on Watermelon for guests who like chili lime
Garnish with banana slices, strawberries, and orange wheels. Each 4 oz rim package rims about 40 drinks.
Food ideas
- Finger sandwiches and croissant sliders
- A fruit tray and yogurt parfait cups
- Pasta salad or chicken salad
- Cupcakes, cake pops, or a small cake
- Popcorn in pastel bags as favors
Games and activities
- Baby bingo: guests fill in gift guesses and mark them during gift opening.
- Guess the bump: guests cut a ribbon to guess the belly size.
- Baby photo match: guests match baby pictures to adults at the party.
- Diaper raffle: guests who bring a pack of diapers get a raffle ticket.
- Advice cards: tips and wishes for the new parents.
Printables

Planning note
Most fruit slushie mixes make about 50 frozen drinks, and one mix serves about 20 guests. Showers are often smaller, so one machine usually covers the crowd. We deliver, set up 2 to 3 hours before the shower, and pick up and clean afterward, so the host has one less thing to do. Have a standard 110 volt outlet on its own circuit, a sturdy table, and a garden hose ready. Book online at least 2 days ahead.
