In case you missed it, Gray shared an inside look at their baby shower for PB&J ago on the blog recently, and it was a bash for the ages. Gray and Jeff chose to model their shower after Gray’s book Be Our Guest!, and it got our gears turning about what other baby shower themes we could dream up—this time inspired by the Gray Malin x Paperless Post collab. We’re suckers for Paperless Post for a lot of reasons, but the convenience of their e-vites and the adorable options they offer are at the top of our list. So next time you’re prepping for the arrival of a new little one, bookmark this post and get inspired by these four different baby shower themes below. Then customize your invites and send away! Trust us, after this article you’ll be dying to throw a party with one (or all!) of these cute baby shower ideas…
## Inspired by Elephant with Balloons II
Much like Gray’s own baby shower for their twins, the Elephant with Balloons II invite delivers (pun intended) the whimsy and fun of the entire Gray Malin at the Parker series. Not to mention, it’s the perfect invite for a gender-neutral baby shower if you’re opting to leave the baby’s gender as a surprise, and works equally well to celebrate a little boy or a little girl.
