Let the adventure begin! To decorate for an adventure-themed baby shower, start by using travel-inspired decor pieces like globes, vintage suitcases, and maps.
You can find the above “adventure awaits” backdrop here. Consider hanging this behind your dessert table or use it as a photo backdrop! It looks perfect with balloon garland bordering it to drive the color scheme home as well. You can find a similar balloon garland kit here.
Also consider bringing in elements from mountains or the forest, along with natural elements like potted plants, rustic wooden furniture, and branches to evoke the feeling of being outdoors.
Opt for a neutral color palette with earthy tones like browns, greens, and soft blues to establish a serene and adventurous atmosphere.
With these decorations, your adventure-themed baby shower will transport guests to a world of wanderlust and anticipation for the new journey ahead.
