The woodland baby shower theme is awesome! Why? It’s cute, it’s neutral, and it’s so easy to set up. There is also so much you can do in terms of decor!

If you don’t, you can absolutely pull off a fabulous woodland theme baby shower with items you can buy from your local Dollar store, or stuff you can get out of nature (like acorns, twigs, wood slabs, etc.) The whole idea is to bring the outdoors in.

Another reason why this theme is so popular, is because it’s versatile. Mom-to-be can use woodland baby shower decor to decorate the nursery too!

Woodland Baby Shower Decorations

What stands out about the woodland theme is that it’s simple yet elegant. You really don’t need much to make this theme pop, in a big way.

Browns and greens and natural things are very dominant in the woodland theme. But certainly, don’t feel limited by this.

A friendly warning: If you are bringing logs into your home, do keep in mind that wood is a natural material. That means, it can have bugs and critters on it. Try to make every effort to ensure it’s clean.
