It's a Boy Baby Shower

The it’s a boy baby shower is very similar to the “it’s a girl” theme, except that the main color is blue instead of white. 

Some hostesses like to use a lot of flowers and lace, even though the baby is a boy, and some prefer to create a more “boyish” feel by using things like sports objects. These ideas will give suggestions for both.

Invitations
-Use white paper with blue writing, and outline the invitation in blue as well. You can also add an “it’s a boy” graphic in the background.
-Buy some cards in the shape of a football or baseball. Use blue ink and attach a small blue diaper pin.

Choose either silver, gold, or brown to go with the blue. These decorations will focus on the blue and silver color scheme.

Use silver ribbons around each tier, and a cascade of blue bows or flowers alone one side. Top the cake with a blue plush teddy bear or sports item. Use blue washcloths, pacifiers, booties, and baby lotion bottles for the gifts.

Edible cake
A sheet cake with blue icing. If you want to use two colors, silver icing may look too grey, so use white instead. Use and It’s a boy baby shower inscription, and a drawing of a pair of blue booties. If you’re going for the sporty theme, put a blue football or baseball on the cake.
