21 Yellow Baby Shower Ideas That’ll Make You Smile
Yellow is a perfect gender-neutral color to use if you’re planning a baby shower for a friend or family member. Yellow baby showers can be simply a wash of golden, sunny hues or they can be anchored to a theme. From bees to daisies and lemons to stars, there are countless adorable ideas to tie to a yellow baby shower.
Lots of colors complement yellow. Gray, black, and white keep it neutral, while pairing yellow with pink and purple or blue and green can skew it more traditionally “girl” or “boy.” Yellow comes in so many pleasing shades and can be matched up with a plethora of other hues from the rainbow for endless chic options. Here are some of our favorite yellow baby shower ideas.
