Looking for mason jar baby shower ideas that go beyond a vase of flowers? Think pink lemonade, little dessert jars and a place for guests to leave wishes for your baby.
There are plenty of pretty table decorations here too, from pastel flowers to tiny lights.
You can keep it simple or go all out. Pick a few ideas for your tables, then bring the same colors into your favors or drink station.
Those little matching details are so cute!
Mason Jar Ideas for Your Baby Shower
white flowers and a black bow
We’re starting off strong with these gorgeous little white flowers. I love how the full bunch spills over the jar, with the green stems showing through below.
Tie a long black bow around the neck if you want to follow this look. You don’t need much else on the jar.
pink lemonade jars
How cute is this drink station? The pink lemonade and pink striped straws look so sweet together.
A little framed sign tells guests what’s being served.
For your own shower, group the filled jars beside a drink dispenser and keep extra straws nearby.
pastel jars and colorful flowers
I am obsessed with these pastel jars. The pink, blue, yellow and green look so pretty with all those colorful flowers.
If you don’t want to stick to one shower color, try a mix like this. Keep the bouquets a little different rather than making every jar match.
pink baby bottle favor
This baby-bottle-inspired jar is just adorable. There’s a nipple-shaped topper above the lid, a pink ruffle around the neck and a message label on the front.
For a similar decorative favor, add your own thank-you message and a matching hanging tag. Keep this one as a party decoration rather than an actual feeding bottle.
guess the baby socks
Want a little game for your shower? This wide jar is packed with white baby socks, with a black label asking guests to guess how many are inside.
Try the same idea with a large mason jar. Set out slips for guesses and count the socks before filling it so you have the answer ready.
cream trim and little bows
This may just be one of my favorite centerpiece looks here. I love the different cream openwork patterns around the jars and the little bows at their necks.
The middle jar holds branching stems with tiny pale blooms. Leave a few matching jars empty if you want the decorative wraps to show.

blue flowers and brown wraps
The blue flower decorations are so cute against these brown bands. Some have gathered petals while others have a little spiral shape.
For your tables, borrow the jar decorations but arrange them side by side rather than copying the stacked display. A strip of white patterned trim adds another pretty detail.
layered treats with pink lids
Who doesn’t love a little dessert jar? These have contrasting light and dark layers, with pink elephant labels on the lids.
Choose a favorite jar-friendly dessert for your version, then add matching shower labels. Don’t forget spoons if you’re serving them at the party.
a table full of tiny lights
If you are looking for a true eye-catcher, then this one is for you. There are glowing jars hanging above the table and another group nestled into greenery below.
I’d borrow the tabletop part for a simpler shower setup. Use battery-powered lights inside your jars and group them at different heights.
an advice card station
This advice station is such a sweet idea to borrow. The picture uses a brown pencil holder with a pink bow beside an advice box and a stack of cards, rather than a mason jar.
Swap in a decorated mason jar for the pencils if you want it to match your other tables. Keep the cards right beside the box so guests know where to leave their notes.
sunflowers and little lights
How pretty are these yellow sunflowers? The dark centers stand out against the tiny white flowers and tall green stems.
These arrangements use narrow-neck bottles with twine bows and little lights. You could try the same flower-and-bow combination in mason jars for a sunshine-themed shower.
personalized teddy bear candles
I am obsessed with these tiny candle favors. The teddy bear illustration is adorable, plus the little green bow looks so pretty at the neck.

Add your chosen name to the front of your own jars. The display also mixes in pink bows, so you don’t have to choose just one ribbon color.
blue candy guessing station
Here’s another guessing game, but this time there’s an oversized baby bottle full of blue candies. The mason jar beside it holds blue pencils for the little answer cards.

This is a simple way to use a jar without decorating every inch of it. Let the colorful pencils tie it into the rest of the station.
a baby bottle on a pedestal
How cute is this bottle-shaped decoration? The jar sits on a clear pedestal with a nipple-shaped top and little pink and blue pacifiers at the base.
If you like the idea, choose a stable decorative version for your display table. I’d leave the jar clear to keep that unusual shape easy to see.
colorful salad layers
Don’t want every jar on your food table to hold something sweet? No problem!
These tall jars show off layers of chopped vegetables, yellow corn, dark beans and leafy greens.
Try individual salad jars for a savory option at your shower. Set out bowls and forks nearby so guests can mix their portions.
pink and blue wish jar
Give your guests a place to leave wishes for the baby with this sweet jar. I love the pink and blue ribbon tied around the neck and the tiny footprints on the black tags.
Put blank notes and pens beside your version. Ask guests to add a wish, then save the messages after the shower.
a little woodland fox
This woodland centerpiece may just be my favorite one so far. The little fox beside the flower jar is so adorable!
Pinecones and green moss-like decoration surround the jar on a round wood slice. For a similar arrangement, keep the fox near the front and let the taller leafy stems rise behind it.
pink jars and playful dots
Don’t want to add lots of flowers? No problem there!
These pink jars look pretty on their own beside the white jar covered in different-sized pink circles.
I love the little twine bows with pale bead-like centers. Try this trio on a favor table if you want a simple pink display.
banana and cookie dessert jars
Not gonna lie, these little desserts look so good! You can see pale yellow filling between the cookies, with a white topping, crumbs and a banana slice above the rim.
Use your favorite banana pudding recipe for a similar shower dessert. Keep the cookie and banana garnish if you want that same cute finish.
green stems and glowing jars
Last but definitely not least, we have these glowing jars with tall green stems. I love the tiny white flower details and the oversized twine bows.
If you want something less colorful than the sunflower arrangements, this is a pretty option to save. Try battery-powered lights in empty jars with decorative greenery above.
