Let’s Disco, BABY!!! 🤩

This Disco-Themed Baby Shower took place on the annual girls’ trip with my college friends. Since we all live in different places, it was the only baby shower for Alieh that all of us could make it to. It was also a SURPRISE!

Alieh has always loved disco style, sequins, and all things sparkly. That’s why we chose this theme for her baby shower, and I had so much fun designing it! 🎉

DIY Disco Ball Baby Rattles

These cute little “baby rattles” were one of my favorite design elements!

To make them, I used a small disco ball ornament, a wooden craft dowel (painted gold), and silver styrofoam vase filler balls. The dowel was inserted in both styrofoam pieces and hot glued to secure.

Tip: Craft wire cutters make it easy to cut the dowel into small pieces.

Poppin’ Bottles Drink Station

I love the play on words with “Poppin’ Bottles” – because it works for champagne OR baby bottles!  It’s perfect for a bubbly bar, but you can really use it with any drinks you’d like to serve.

Disco Mama & Disco Babe Cups

This was a smaller baby shower, so I was able to make personalized disco-themed tumblers for everyone. (I used my Cricut, black vinyl, and these cups.) Alieh’s tumbler read “DISCO MAMA” while everyone else’s read “DISCO BABE”.

I also made disco drink stirrers out of gold party straws + tiny disco balls! More of the tiny disco balls and vase filler balls were used as table scatter.

Disco Ball Balloons

Mylar disco ball balloons were a no-brainer for the decor! They were inexpensive and made a big impact on the space. We hung them on the photo backdrop, from the ceiling, and even scattered extras around the floor.

We also had a real disco ball that shined on the gift/cake table. I designed some signs to match (both part of the printable collection) and displayed a disco-themed onesie next to the cake.

Disco Baby Shower Cake Topper

We ordered a plain white cake from a local bakery and added the party on top! 🎉

The gold acrylic “oh baby” topper was from Etsy. I hot glued it to a craft dowel rod to add more height, then inserted it the rod into the cake and piled assorted sizes of disco balls around it.

A few of the smaller disco balls were also hot glued to the dowel rod to help keep everything in place.

Disco Baby Photo Backdrop

The photo backdrop was made from light champagne gold fringe curtains + silver DISCO BABY letter balloons. It made for such fun pics!

The themed attire helped with the fun pics too!! 🤩

Using our group text thread for this trip, a couple of people suggested we dress in “sparkly, disco-style metallics” the first night under the guise of it being just for fun. This is how we made sure that Alieh would have a themed outfit for her own baby shower. 😉

Hope this inspires you to create a disco baby shower of your own!!
