Besides being an awesome way to get all of your baby gear, baby showers are the perfect way to celebrate your pregnancy with friends and family. If you know the sex of your baby, it can be fun to decorate your venue with pretty pink bunnies or baby blue fish. But if you're choosing to keep it a secret, or if gender stereotypes just aren't your thing, you can still have an awesome party. There are plenty of baby shower ideas that don't have gender stereotypes, but are just as adorable. Think about it, there are way too many awesome colors in the rainbow to be limited to just pink or blue.
When planning your shower, you have to consider every little detail, from the invitations to the thank you notes, and if you don't want to be limited to gender-specific decor, all you need is a little creativity. Most likely, this will be the last major party you throw until your little one's first birthday, so you might as well blow it out.
Check out this list of gender-neutral baby shower ideas, and see if you can find a little inspiration for your party planning. And as long as you have a delicious cake, your guests will be sure to have a great time.
