Sometimes the best baby showers are the ones that are the simplest to plan. If you're looking for easy breezy summer baby shower ideas here's five themes that basically plan themselves.
Ice Cream Baby Shower
Make it an ice cream theme baby shower!
Planning an ice cream baby shower in the summer is about as simple as it can get and it's pure genius on a hot summer's day. I bet you're already thinking of all the possibilities.
The best way is to buy a few containers of ice cream and a bunch of yummy toppings. Then, all you have to do is set it all up on a table and let everyone help themselves.
Take it one step further (and easier) by only buying the toppings in matching colors. Pink for a girl or blue if it's a boy.
You can narrow this fun theme down even further by making it a milk shake or ice cream cone shower.
To keep it really easy and simple, don't even plan on having any other foods.
You see. I told you these were easy to plan.

How much ice cream do I need for an Ice Cream Baby Shower?
On average, a gallon of ice cream will serve approximately 16 people a 1 cup serving of ice cream and 10 people a 1 1/2 cup serving of ice cream. A scoop of ice cream is about 1/2 cup (4 ounces), and a typical serving is about three scoops, or 1 1/2 cups (12 ounces) of ice cream. ~ Reference.com
Lemonade Baby Shower
This isn't about Queen B's Lemonade. This is all about the sweet lemony drink that everyone craves in the summertime.
The only beverages you need to offer for this one is pink or white lemonade and maybe have some bottled water and hot tea (with lemons) on hand for anyone who doesn't like this citrusy concoction.
You'll simply serve lemon cookies and lemon cakes. Think that might be a bit boring? Think again! Visit this link to find 27 Different Delicious Lemon Desserts at Buzzfeed.com.
Lemon Drop candies in bowls and plenty of fresh lemons on the table would look divine!

BBQ Baby Shower
There's nothing easier than having a summer BBQ baby shower bash. And this theme is by far THE most popular baby shower theme if you're planning a couple's baby shower.
There are no hard and fast rules for this one either. Whatever you like to toss on the grill in abundance is what should go on the BBQ baby shower menu.
And while you're tossing, toss a couple of salads for sides, make some cupcakes, and you are done.
Plan for it to be held outdoors, in the shade, if you can.
This is a terrific way to host a baby shower that's comfortable and casual for everyone, including the mommy and daddy-to-be.

4th of July Baby Shower
Another fun way to shower the happy parents-to-be is to throw them a 4th of July party that they'll never forget!
It's a Barbecue. It's a baby shower. It's the 4th of July. It's the EASIEST way to surprise the expectant couple. Everyone is getting together anyway... have them bring along a little something-something for baby and you've got yourself a great and super easy summer baby shower theme. Everything is red, white, and blue.
Tropical Fruit Baby Shower
A truly refreshing and unique summer baby shower theme revolves around tropical fruit.
Have you ever stopped to think just how cute a heart-shaped strawberry is? How about kiwi slices and plump little blueberries? Adorable, no?

Fresh fruit in the summer is so refreshing and cool on a hot day. The menu for your tropical fruit theme baby shower can include all kinds of fruit smoothies, pies, and fruit salad.
Instead of a cake you can make this easy fresh fruit pizza recipe that I found at Pillsbury.com.
This theme is super unique, fun and also pretty healthy!
Of course if the mother-to-be has a favorite, you can make your food choices and shower theme just about that, such as a watermelon, peach or strawberry baby shower. A rainbow of fruit choices awaits you!

There are two colors to choose from; one has a lighter background, the other is dark. I like to think of the differences as day and night so you might want to choose the color based on the time of day you're holding the shower. Of course they can be used at any time of the year but the colors of the flora and fauna (Remember them from the Addams Family?) in this woodland scene are ideal in the fall. |

It's a BOY!
I think the designers have outdone themselves when they created these 3 rustic stag boy baby shower invitations.
In fact, I think, if you like one of these, you're going to fall in LOVE with all three. This will definitely make it hard to decide which one you want to use for the little buck's baby shower... but in a good way.

This delightful baby shower invite has a pair of light gray stag antlers with a bough of flowers in shades of blue, green, and purple. This is set against a black chalk board background with white plank wood that looks like a frame around everything.
Rustic Flower Boy Baby Shower Invitation
The third featured design has the same gray antlers and floral bough as the second one I showed you but this one was created without the chalk board and is simply set against the white plank wood. GORGEOUS! No?
These rustic baby shower invites can be used at any time of the year but for some reason, and even though they have flowers on them, I think they'd be really appreciated during the fall and winter.

The History of Bridal Showers
Did you know that the custom of throwing a bridal shower dates back to the time when dowries were popular? Friends of the woman to be wed began giving what is now known as a bridal shower to compensate women who came from poor families who couldn't afford a proper dowry, or for a woman whose father didn't approve of the marriage and refused to pay.
