Looking for a sophisticated yet charming baby shower theme? This Carousel Baby Shower submitted by Eline Boot of My Greatest Party out of Amsterdam, Netherlands is such a special treat, it rolls elegance and fun all into one spectacular event! With breathtaking details and horses to boot, it’s a must see occasion!
Carousel Baby Shower
Elements to look for from this grand celebration include:
- Life-sized carousel horse placed atop the dining table
- Adorable carousel horses on sticks placed in pink cupcakes and one atop the birthday cake
- Elegant dining tablescape with ornate place settings
- Canopy of pink balloons with gold ties
- Carousel-inspired stationery
- Charming cake placed on a pink and white hat box
- Also many stunning gold details to catch your eye!
This is what Eline shared about the party- “We got a last-minute request for a baby shower as a surprise from the husband. We quickly thought about the colours pink and gold, since it will be a baby girl, and thought the carousel theme would be very fitting for the location. The location was the Intercontinental Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam, one of the most prestigious hotels of Amsterdam.
We found 3 white horses that are just as large as regular horses you find in a carousel and these were perfect for decoration. The horse came back in the cupcakes, and the colour scheme (pink and golden) could be found in everything. We set up a small high tea for the guests and various games. So they had to guess what the size of mommy’s belly was, which baby picture belongs to whom, etc.”

Hello Kara! What gorgeous parties you conjure up!! Our daughter is having their first child this July. She is a fifth grade teacher and her classroom is full of whimsy. The children love the miscellaneous Unicorn items in the room. Lauren has made this fun and she is extremely creative. She wants to have a “Unicorn” themed Baby Shower! I’m having the party at my home in the backyard, plus I have a outside room and sports court we could use. We were going to work together to design but after seeing your work, I’d love to discuss ideas with you. I live in Moraga, California/Northern. Lauren wants a magical and whimsical, yet elegant affair. Thank you very much. Ronda Frank 925.324.5424
