Winter is in full swing and if you live in the deep South like I do, that means something completely different than it does up North. Down here, we run to the windows at the first whisper of snowflakes and everyone drops what they are doing. School is cancelled and people clean out the grocery stores. It’s pretty comical. We had a white Christmas a couple of years back and it was front page news in every paper! Temperatures seldom drop below the 40s and it’s not uncommon at all for 60 degree days to happen in February. We are already seeing daffodils and crocuses push their way toward the sunshine. Winter has barely arrived before Spring is just around the corner.

If you live up North, February means Winter is getting old. There has been snow on the ground for months and the icy wind, car window scraping, slushy puddles of muck, and messy commutes to work are taking their toll. Stepping outside for just a minute to take the trash out means bundling up in layers, and running errands with children is a nightmare. If you leave your drink in your car, it’s frozen when you get back. The kids can’t play outside for more than a few minutes, and everyone is starting to get cabin fever. When Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow everyone sighs in disgust and plots his death…Spring can’t come soon enough.

If you are planning a February baby shower, you might be just fine with embracing the Winter – or you might be more inclined to try to usher in an early Spring! Here are two beautiful and fun ideas for February baby shower themes – whether you’re still squealing with joy over a tiny dusting of snow, or moaning with despair at the 16 degree wind chill.

Grey and White Winter Baby Shower

Living in the South, I confess that I wish for a bit more snow and love snowflakes and snowmen. A February baby shower decorated with grey, white, and snowflakes is lovely and versatile – add a bit of blue for a boy, or a bit of pink for a girl. Use yellow if mom and dad don’t know the gender of their baby on the way.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow Baby Shower theme

“Somewhere over the rainbow…the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.” Babies are dreams come true. Why not celebrate the impending arrival of a long-anticipated baby with an Over the Rainbow baby shower theme? The possibilities for decorations with this theme are endless, and it is appropriate whether mom and dad are expecting a boy, a girl, or a surprise! Who doesn’t need a little more sunshine and rainbows at the end of February? I bet our friends in New England who got 2 feet of snow this week could use some.
