Chic Greenery Baby Shower and Birthday Party
“My Story and Tips to Help You Plan the Perfect Party”
When I planned my Chic Greenery baby shower, I wasn’t just throwing a party—I was building memories. And let me tell you, I didn’t set out to become a Pinterest mom (because who has the time?). But somewhere between picking eucalyptus leaves out of my hair and gluing garlands to every surface in my house, I realized I was onto something magical.

There’s just something about greenery. It’s fresh, elegant, and so simple, yet it makes a statement. It’s like that one friend who looks effortlessly beautiful in every photo while you’re in the back struggling with the wind and your hair. You know the one. That’s greenery—it’s the vibe we all aspire to. So, if you’re thinking about throwing a Chic Greenery baby shower or birthday party, grab a cup of coffee, mama, because I’ve got all the tips, tricks, and stories to help you make it unforgettable.
Let’s Set the Scene
For me, the location was the first big decision. I’ll admit, I had grand visions of a botanical garden or a fancy venue filled with lush plants and cascading vines. Then reality hit, and my budget reminded me, “Girl, we’re doing this at home.” And honestly? It turned out even better.

I set up the party in my backyard. It was the middle of spring, so the trees did half the work for me by looking all green and lovely. (Thanks, nature!) I strung up some fairy lights, threw a few outdoor rugs on the grass, and borrowed every plant I could find from my mom’s house. There was a moment where my husband asked if we were building a jungle, but when the guests arrived, even he had to admit it looked like a dream.
Greenery Magic on a Budget
Now, I’m not about to tell you to spend your life savings on decor, because let’s be real—diapers aren’t cheap. Instead, I got crafty. My secret weapon? Faux eucalyptus garlands. They’re affordable, reusable, and honestly, they look so good that my guests thought they were real.

I draped the garlands across the table, hung them on the fence, and even wrapped one around the cake stand for a little extra pizzazz. Speaking of the table, let me tell you about my DIY runner. I used kraft paper, added a few hand-drawn leafy doodles (don’t judge my art skills), and scattered some real leaves on top. It was like something out of a magazine—well, maybe not exactly, but you get the idea.

Of course, no party is complete without a backdrop. I created mine with a green tablecloth, some fake ivy, and a “Welcome Baby” sign that I made using printable letters. It wasn’t fancy, but when my friends saw it, they all whipped out their phones for pictures. Success!
And speaking of photos, you’ll definitely want to look your best in all those candid shots. Let’s talk about party outfits!
What to Wear for a Greenery-Themed Celebration
When you’re the mom-to-be or the birthday baby’s mama, you deserve to feel fabulous. For my greenery baby shower, I wore a flowy maxi dress in the softest sage green. It was comfy, it was pretty, and most importantly, it had enough room to hide my food baby after the party snacks.

I also made sure my little one was dressed for the occasion. For her birthday party, I found the sweetest white romper with little green embroidery. She looked like a woodland fairy, and I couldn’t stop taking pictures of her. (Pro tip: If you’re dressing up your baby, go for something soft and breathable—they’ll be happier, and so will you.)

Party Food Ideas
“Snacks That Look (and Taste) Amazing”
Food is my love language, and party snacks are my jam. For my greenery-themed celebrations, I kept the menu simple, fresh, and totally Instagram-worthy. The star of the show was, of course, the cake. I went with a semi-naked cake topped with fresh flowers and sprigs of rosemary.

It looked so fancy that people thought I had it custom-made. Little did they know, I bought it at the local bakery and added the toppings myself. (Mama’s gotta save where she can!) For snacks, I made a grazing table with fruits, cheeses, crackers, and dips. I added some edible flowers for that extra greenery vibe, and it turned into a mini photo station.

My favorite treat, though, was the matcha cupcakes. They were green, they were delicious, and they disappeared in about five minutes. But the food wasn’t the only thing keeping my guests entertained. Let’s talk about the games and activities that made the day so much fun.
Fun and Festive Activities
“Making Memories Together”
What’s a party without a little fun? I’m all about activities that get people laughing and bonding, and my greenery parties were no exception. For my baby shower, I set up a DIY flower crown station. I bought a bunch of fake flowers, greenery, and floral wire, and let my guests go wild. The results were hilarious—some crowns were Pinterest-worthy, while others… well, let’s just say they were made with love.

For the kiddos at my daughter’s birthday party, I printed out coloring pages with leaf and flower designs. It kept them busy, and the parents appreciated the break. Plus, it gave me a chance to sneak in another slice of cake without being judged. But you know what really sets the tone for any party? The invitations. Let me share the ones I used—they’re free, fabulous, and perfect for your Chic Greenery celebration.
