There are few baby shower themes that have stood the test of time as well as the woodland baby shower. And for good reason! With its adorable animal imagery, soothing greenery and generally majestic vibes, you truly cannot go wrong with this awesome theme.
If you’re looking for inspiration and ideas for throwing a woodland baby shower, you’ve come to the right place. We’re here with plenty of advice, tips and product picks so you can plan a party that transports your guests into a wonderful, woodland atmosphere straight out of your favorite foresty fairytale.
What is a woodland baby shower?
A woodland baby shower is perhaps one of the cutest ways to celebrate a growing family. To achieve the woodland theme, hosts will include lots of forest decor, centering their color palette around earth tones like green and brown.
Another crucial component of the woodland theme? The animals, of course! Deer, bears, foxes, squirrels, owls, raccoons and rabbits are just a few of the most classic critters associated with this theme.
What should I write on an invitation for a woodland baby shower?
First, make sure to select an invitation that fits the theme of your baby shower. Luckily, Evite offers plenty of woodland-themed baby shower invitations featuring the most adorable designs!
Once you’ve selected your woodland baby shower invitation, craft an on-theme message for your guests! You’ll of course want to include key event details on your invitation, like the party’s date, time and location, but it’s also fun to add a cute or punny sentence to get your guests excited for the foresty fête.
Here are some woodland baby shower invitation wording suggestions:
- Join us for a beary fun baby shower!
- Be a deer and join us!
- Come over fur a baby shower!
- Join us for a baby shower! It’ll be a hoot.
- We’re celebrating the mama bear and her little cub!

How should I decorate for a woodland baby shower?
And now we come to possibly the most important part: the decor! To really capture the woodland theme, you’ll need to make your party space feel like a magical forest. By using a combination of rustic signage, artificial greenery, cute critters and wooden decor, you’ll be able to create a cohesive and captivating atmosphere with that enchanting woodland feel.
The 10 decor items you need for the ultimate woodland baby shower:
- Animal Banner
- Rustic Charcuterie Board
- Woodland Dinnerware
- Artificial Moss
- Unfinished Wood Center Pieces
- Woodland Critter Cupcake Toppers
- Tree Stump Tea Light Candle Holders
- Log-Shaped Pencils
- Sage Green Table Runner
- Decorative Pine Cones
What food should I serve at a woodland baby shower?
Like any other baby shower, you’ll want to make sure you’re providing your guests with plenty to snack on. In addition to the classics (i.e. charcuterie boards and crudités), here are a few tree-riffic woodland-themed snack ideas:
Acorn donut holes
Dip the top of glazed donut holes in melted chocolate, add chocolate sprinkles and press a piece of a thin pretzel stick into the top.
Woodland cupcakes
Top homemade or store-bought cupcakes with these adorable woodland-themed cupcake toppers from Amazon.
Cheeseball hedgehog
Shape cheese dip into an oval, top with pecans, almonds or pine nuts to form your hedgehog’s quills and give him a little face using slices of black olive.
Tree slices
This one is all about the signage. Simply make or purchase sandwich roll-ups and put out a sign to let guests know they’re actually “tree slices,” not sandwiches.
Birch logs
Grab some big pretzel sticks and dip them in melted white chocolate. Next, drizzle with melted milk chocolate to really achieve the tree trunk look!
What games should I play at a woodland baby shower?
No baby shower is complete without a few fun games! To stick with your theme, consider adding a woodland twist to classics like bingo or trying out some foresty faves like “Guess how many bears!”
Here are some bear-y cute woodland baby shower games and activities we love:
Woodland bingo
At this point, bingo is practically obligatory at any baby shower. Just make sure to grab some on-theme game boards like these ones from Etsy!
Guess how many bears
Grab a jar like this one from Amazon, then fill with a set amount of gummy bears of Teddy Grahams. Consider this your reminder to write down how many you actually put in the jar!
Name the baby animal
One of the great joys of the English language is finding out the various and sundry words for baby animals. Our fave right now is “poult” (translation: baby turkey).
Build your own trail mix
Finally, you can be in control of the M&M to raisin ratio of your trail mix. Give your guests something to do and snack on with this fun snack-making station.

What is a signup sheet?
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, signup sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
How do I create a signup sheet?
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
- Go to Evite SignUp Sheets and choose the template that best fits your needs. Evite offers multiple signup sheet templates perfect for every occasion, including:
- Signup sheets for one day events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a class party, potluck or end-of-season party.
- Signup sheets for single or multiple day events (with time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing concession stand volunteers, fundraisers, parent-teacher conferences, meal train, post-game snack duty or during appreciation week.
- After selecting your sheet template, create a title for your signup sheet and add the date, the location, the time (if applicable), who the organizer is, the organizer’s phone number or email and an optional note describing the event to your volunteers. You can also change your signup sheet background and title image if you wish!
- Next, create slots for your signup sheet. If you aren’t logged into your account, you will need to do so at this point, but luckily, you can use your existing Evite account (no need to create yet another login!). What you’ll include here will depend on what your event needs, but you can include a list of what’s needed (along with optional descriptions), how many volunteers are needed, and dates and times.
- After creating your slots, you can then add a wish list from any retailer or include supply suggestions from Evite’s retailer partners. These are to help your volunteers find and purchase supplies quickly and easily.
- Finally, review your sheet, copy your shareable link and send it out to everyone on your list! Every time a volunteer signs up for a slot on your signup sheet, Evite will email you. We will also send reminders to you and your volunteers before your event so no one will forget about it, and we’ll even let volunteers know if you remove their slot or cancel your event sheet so you don’t have to!
What information should be included on a signup sheet?
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
- A title for your signup sheet. Tip: Aim to keep your signup sheet title concise but clear. You want volunteers to read it and have a general understanding of what your event is about, and also make it easy for them to look for later if they need to reference your sheet again. You have the option to include a more descriptive note in a different field about your event, so save the more in-depth details for that!
- When and where the event is taking place.
- The organizer’s name and phone number.
- Slots for volunteers to choose from. Once you choose the SignUp Sheets template that fits the occasion, the slots you’ll need for your sheet will be right there and ready for you to add the relevant info, such as dates, times, items to bring and tasks to complete.
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
What are the benefits of using a signup sheet template?
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
- A 100% free experience (no subscriptions required!).
- Shareable links for quick and easy sharing.
- No need to create another login—you can use your existing Evite account.
- The option to add a wish list to help your volunteers out.
- Automatic reminders—we’ll remind everyone on your behalf.
- An easy-to-use experience with eye-catching guided templates.
