Travel Themed Baby Shower : Real Life Examples!
This post is dedicated to the details of my “welcome to the world” travel themed baby shower! I’d always envisioned this theme, and loved seeing it come to life.
The original goal was to host this at a neighborhood clubhouse, but we had to have it in an outdoor venue (this was 2020). I think it still turned out beautifully!

The Photo Backdrop:
I wanted a festive area where guests could pose for photos, and this was the perfect setup!
She purchased green and blue dot garland, hanging paper fans, and a blank cardboard banner pendant, and wrote “welcome to the world” on it. She then arranged them all artistically and voila- perfect photo spot!
My sister also got us these (biodegradable!) globe balloons– and added in some that say “hello world“. Just keep in mind that filling them with helium (usually grocery or party stores can do this) can be expensive!
The suitcases in the display are ones I collected from yard sales over the years. I used them at my wedding reception in 2014, and they are normally in the front living room of my house. The globe in the images is one that I painted myself!

The Little Details:
We made use of vintage globes, fun photo frames, and lots of custom prints my sister hand-lettered on her iPad. We both love to do modern calligraphy or hand-lettering, so of course she made me this beautiful custom signage for the event!
If you are interested in these prints and signs for a baby shower you are hosting, they are on sale in our Etsy shop!
This book is called “Welcome to the World” and was perfect for the theme! Guests signed it as a special keepsake that I will have for years to come. It’s currently on display in my son’s “sloth/adventure theme” nursery!
I’ve seen this at many baby showers, and I love the idea! Guests take a marker and write funny notes on diapers that the parents can laugh at to keep sane during those late night changes and blowouts!

This is so adorable Michelle! What a great idea for a baby shower! I love those cookies. 🙂
Thank you so much Taylor! They were delicious and I love supporting small, local businesses 🙂
Thank you so much Courtney!! I am definitely a big fan of themed parties (likely to the dismay of my friends and husband lol) and I loved the idea of incorporating travel into my shower.
