Planning a baby shower in February? You’re in for a treat!
February is the perfect month to lean into all things cozy and romantic, blending winter wonder with sweet Valentine’s vibes.
Whether the mom-to-be loves the idea of hearts and Cupid or prefers a rustic winter theme, there are endless ways to create a memorable celebration.
Here’s a complete guide to help you plan a February baby shower everyone will love.
February Baby Shower Themes
Choosing a theme sets the tone for the whole event, and in February, you’ve got so many sweet options to work with.
From the soft pastels and hearts of a “Little Sweetheart” shower to the rustic coziness of a “Winter Woodland Wonderland,” each theme brings its own special twist to the celebration.
1. A Little Sweetheart is on the Way
If there’s ever a month to celebrate love, it’s February! Picture a room decked out in soft pinks, whites, and splashes of red—everything a little sweetheart could want.
Heart-shaped balloons and garlands create a romantic, festive vibe, while “A Little Sweetheart is on the Way” banners or signs add a personal touch.
Set up a “Sweetheart Table” with Valentine’s treats like pink macarons, strawberry cupcakes, and maybe even heart-shaped chocolates for that extra bit of sweetness.

Sweetheart Photo Op: Designate a “Sweetheart” photo spot with a balloon arch or backdrop so guests can capture memories with the mom-to-be. You could even add a basket of heart-shaped props for fun.
2. Winter Woodland Wonderland
If the mom-to-be loves all things rustic, this theme will make her feel like she’s celebrating in a cozy, woodsy retreat.
Imagine a cabin feel with deep greens, snowy whites, and earthy details like pine cones and twigs. You could bring in some mini trees, pine branches, and maybe even a few faux fur throws to turn the place into a winter wonderland.
Picture cute little forest animals, like baby deer or foxes, making appearances on the cake or as little decorations around the room.
Small wooden details, like log slices for serving food, really pull the look together. It’s a warm, woodsy setup that’ll make everyone feel like they’ve stepped into a winter fairy tale!
Food and Drink: Offer warm beverages like hot cider or cocoa, and set out treats that match the natural vibe—think mini muffins, granola bars, or fruit skewers for an earthy, delicious spread.
3. Little Cupid is Coming
This theme is playful, fun, and a little whimsical—perfect if you want to embrace the season of love with a sprinkle of Cupid’s magic.
Gold accents, cupid arrows, and touches of red and pink bring in a lighthearted, romantic feel that’s totally unique for a baby shower.
Decorate with little cherub or cupid figurines, and add gold “Love” balloons for a fun photo op. You could even set up a “Cupid’s Treat Table” with sweets like heart-shaped cookies, chocolates, and mini cupcakes in red, pink, and white.
These adorable “Cupid’s Kiss” mocktails are perfect for a February baby shower! The pink drinks in mason jars, topped with little wings and striped straws, bring a sweet, playful vibe that ties perfectly into a Valentine’s or “Little Cupid is Coming” theme. These are as fun to look at as they are to sip!
Activities: Set up a “Cupid’s Love Notes” station where guests can write sweet messages, advice, or hopes for the baby. It’s fun, and interactive, and ties right into the theme.
4. Classic Winter White
If you’re after an elegant, timeless look, a classic winter white theme is an easy way to bring sophistication to a February shower.
Think of simple touches like white and silver decor, a few sparkly accents, and maybe some soft, cozy details. White flowers, small crystal-like decorations, and gentle fabrics can create that wintery vibe without much fuss.
To add a little magic, hang a few snowflake ornaments or string up some fairy lights. It’s a lovely, understated way to bring out the quiet beauty of winter—just right for a February shower that’s seasonal without going all-in on Valentine’s.

Finishing Touch: Hang fairy lights around the room or place them on tables for a warm, soft glow that’s perfect for winter.
February Baby Shower Themes: Neutral
If you’re going for a more neutral vibe for your February baby shower, you’ve got some great options! Neutral themes bring in all the cozy and wintry charm without focusing on specific colors or holidays, making them perfect if the parents-to-be want to keep things simple or gender-neutral.
Here are a few ideas:
Winter Woodland Charm: The Winter Woodland Wonderland theme is perfect if you want something that feels natural and rustic without being too colorful.
Think earthy greens, soft whites, and wooden accents. You can decorate with pine cones, little trees, and cozy plaid blankets to give the room that woodsy, winter feel without going overboard on any specific colors.
Classic Winter White: A Winter White theme is always a winner for a February shower! It’s super elegant and totally neutral, with whites, silvers, and frosty little touches.
Add in delicate snowflakes, some frosted greenery, and maybe a few white flowers for a look that’s both wintery and timeless.
A Little Sweetheart in Soft Neutrals: If you love the idea of a Valentine-inspired theme but want to keep it toned down, try using soft neutrals like beige, cream, and maybe a hint of peach instead of bold pinks and reds.
You can still do heart garlands and pretty decor, just in more muted tones, for that sweet vibe without the traditional Valentine’s colors.
Invitations that Set the Tone
Now that you’ve got the theme, let’s talk invites! These little details set the stage and get everyone excited for the celebration.
Valentine’s Day Inspired Invites: For love-themed showers, use invites with hearts, soft colors, and maybe a little gold foil for a touch of elegance. You could even opt for digital invites with animated hearts for a modern twist.
Winter Warmth Invites: If you’re leaning more winter than Valentine’s, try invites with plaid, woodsy designs, or rustic fonts that hint at the cozy celebration ahead.
Decorations and Ambiance
Set the mood with decorations that match your theme!
Heartfelt Decor: Create a warm, inviting atmosphere with heartfelt decor like cascading heart garlands, soft pink and red accents, and delicate touches of love that fill the space with charm and warmth.
Sweetheart Photo Backdrop: Whatever your theme, create a photo spot with balloons, garlands, or themed props so guests can snap a memory with the mom-to-be.
Hot Cocoa or Beverage Bar: Guests will love cozying up with a warm drink. Offer hot chocolate, coffee, or cider with toppings like whipped cream, marshmallows, and chocolate shavings.
Fun Games and Activities
Keep everyone entertained with games that match the February vibes!
Guess the Valentine’s Candy Flavor: Set up a blindfolded taste test with Valentine’s chocolates and have guests guess each flavor. It’s lighthearted and fun!

Baby Shower Bingo with a Twist: Create Bingo cards with love-themed words or baby-related items for a fun and festive twist on a classic.
Sweet Treats and Party Favors

Valentine’s Desserts: Go all out with red velvet cupcakes, heart-shaped cookies, and chocolate-covered strawberries. A dessert table labeled “Sweet Treats for the Sweetheart” adds a fun touch.
Heart-Shaped Chocolates and Candles: Send guests home with heart-shaped candles or little bags of Valentine’s candies as a reminder of the love-filled day.
