Dragon Ball Baby Shower Ideas: 15 Super Saiyan Ways to Celebrate Your Little Fighter

So your best friend, sister, or partner is a total Dragon Ball fanatic, and now there’s a tiny Saiyan on the way? How perfect is that!

I recently helped plan a Dragon Ball-themed baby shower for my cousin, and let me tell you—watching grown adults get genuinely excited about orange and blue decorations while debating whether Goku or Vegeta would make a better dad was absolutely priceless. 🙂

Here’s the thing about Dragon Ball baby showers: they’re surprisingly versatile. You can go full anime nerd with detailed character cutouts and Japanese snacks, or keep it subtle with orange and blue color schemes that hint at the theme without overwhelming guests who might not know a Kamehameha from a karate chop.

Either way, you’re celebrating new life with one of the most hopeful, friendship-centered anime series out there—which feels pretty perfect for welcoming a baby, right?

I’m going to walk you through 15 creative ways to bring the Dragon Ball universe into your baby shower.

We’ll cover everything from decorations that’ll make your venue look like Capsule Corp headquarters to games that don’t require your guests to know every episode by heart.

Ready to go Super Saiyan with your party planning? Let’s make this happen!

Power Level 9000 Decorations

Image Prompt: A vibrant Dragon Ball baby shower entrance featuring oversized orange balloons arranged like Dragon Balls with hand-drawn star decals (one through seven stars). The backdrop shows a stunning balloon arch in orange, blue, and white with云 (cloud) cutouts attached. Include a “Welcome Little Saiyan” banner in bold anime-style lettering. A Shenron dragon cutout winds through the archway. Bright, energetic lighting with confetti scattered on the floor in orange and blue.

How to Do It

• Create giant Dragon Ball balloons by attaching star stickers (1-7) to large orange balloons—you’ll need seven of them, obviously
• Build your balloon arch using a mixture of orange, deep blue, white, and occasional yellow balloons in different sizes
• Cut cloud shapes from white poster board or foam board and attach them throughout the arch with fishing line for that floating Nimbus vibe
• Print or draw Shenron on large poster board (he’s surprisingly easy to trace if you find a good reference image online)
• Time estimate: About 2-3 hours for the full setup
• Budget tip: Dollar store orange balloons work perfectly—save your money for the custom banner

Pro tip: If you’re not artistic, don’t stress about hand-drawing stars. You can find Dragon Ball star templates online, print them on orange cardstock, and cut them out. They look just as good and save you tons of time!

Dragon Radar Treasure Hunt Game

Honestly, this was the hit of my cousin’s shower. Guests loved having something active to do between the food and gift-opening, and it works for everyone—even folks who’ve never watched the show.

Image Prompt: Guests holding small handheld “radar” devices (actually decorated paper plates with a green screen and red blinking dots drawn on). Show people searching around a living room setup, looking under tables and behind decorations. Include visible orange balls hidden in various spots—on bookshelves, tucked in plants, behind presents. Happy, engaged expressions with a mix of ages participating. Natural indoor lighting, casual party atmosphere.

How to Do It

• Create simple radar props using paper plates painted green with a red dot in the center (attach a popsicle stick handle)
• Hide seven orange balls throughout your venue—use craft store foam balls spray-painted orange with star stickers
• Divide guests into teams of 3-4 people to encourage interaction between folks who might not know each other
• Set a 15-minute time limit to keep energy high and prevent the game from dragging
• Offer small prizes like Dragon Ball keychains or anime-themed candy for the winning team
• Difficulty level: Easy to set up, fun for all ages

Variation: For smaller gatherings, make it individual rather than team-based. First person to find all seven Dragon Balls gets to make a “wish” (really just pick first from a prize basket).

Capsule Corp Cake Table

The Capsule Corp aesthetic is clean, modern, and surprisingly baby-shower-appropriate. Plus, that iconic yellow and blue color scheme photographs beautifully!

Image Prompt: An elegant dessert table with a white tablecloth featuring the Capsule Corp logo as a centerpiece. Display a two-tier cake with smooth blue fondant and the yellow Capsule Corp logo. Surround it with cupcakes topped with orange frosting and edible star decorations. Include small capsule-shaped favor boxes in blue and yellow. Add some height with white cake stands. Modern, clean aesthetic with good lighting showing the professional finish.

How to Do It

• Commission or bake a cake with blue fondant and the Capsule Corp logo (most bakeries can print edible images if you provide the design)
• Order cupcakes with orange frosting and request simple star toppers (you can buy edible star decorations online)
• Create capsule favor boxes using small cylindrical containers spray-painted in Capsule Corp colors
• Download the logo in high resolution and have it printed as a poster or banner for behind the table
• Budget range: $80-150 depending on whether you DIY the baked goods or order everything
• Time needed: If ordering, just 30 minutes to set up the table display

I’ve seen people stress about making everything perfect, but honestly? Even a simple cake with blue frosting and a printed logo topper looks amazing when you style the table well. Don’t overthink it!

Saiyan Training Baby Predictions

This puts a Dragon Ball twist on the classic baby prediction cards, and it’s way more entertaining than the standard version.

Image Prompt: Close-up of custom prediction cards designed like Scouter readouts with fields for “Baby’s Power Level at Birth,” “Hair Color,” “Fighting Style (personality),” and “Date of Arrival.” Show hands filling out the cards with colorful pens. Include a decorated box labeled “Scouter Readings” for collecting completed cards. Soft focus background showing party decorations. Warm, intimate lighting.

How to Do It

• Design custom cards with Scouter-style graphics and fun prompts like “Baby’s Power Level” (weight), “Super Saiyan Hair Color,” or “Will baby’s first word be Mama or Dada or Kamehameha?”
• Create a collection box decorated like a Scouter or capsule for guests to submit their predictions
• Print 30-40 cards (always make extras—you’ll need them)
• Set out colorful pens at a dedicated prediction station
• Time to create: About 1 hour to design and print if you use Canva or similar tools

BTW, parents-to-be absolutely treasure reading these later. My cousin still laughs about someone predicting her daughter would be born with “definitely over 9000” power level.

Senzu Bean Snack Station

Speaking of food, let’s talk about the easiest themed snack idea ever. Senzu beans (green candy) alongside other Dragon Ball-inspired treats creates a fun grazing station.

Image Prompt: A wooden snack table displaying small glass jars labeled “Senzu Beans” filled with green jelly beans or M&Ms. Include bowls of “Capsule Pills” (colorful round candies), orange slices arranged like Dragon Balls, and Asian snacks in small baskets. Add small printed labels with Dragon Ball references. Natural wood aesthetic with pops of color from the candy. Clean, organized presentation.

How to Do It

• Fill glass jars with green jelly beans, labeling them “Senzu Beans – Instant Energy!”
• Serve orange snacks like cheese balls, Cheetos, or orange slices to maintain the Dragon Ball color scheme
• Include Asian-inspired treats like Pocky, mochi, or Japanese candy if you want to honor the show’s origins
• Add “Capsule Pills” using any round, colorful candy like Skittles or M&Ms in blue and yellow
• Create simple labels using free online templates or just cardstock and markers
• Budget: $30-50 for a well-stocked station serving 20-30 guests

This station requires almost zero cooking skills, which makes it perfect for hosts who’d rather spend time on other details. Plus, guests love interactive snack setups where they can graze throughout the party.

Goku’s Gi Onesie Decorating

Instead of the standard “decorate a onesie” activity, provide orange onesies and fabric markers for guests to create mini Gis. It’s adorable and actually useful!

Image Prompt: A craft table covered with a protective cloth, scattered with orange baby onesies and fabric markers in blue, black, and white. Show guests of different ages working on their designs, some adding the turtle school symbol, others writing names or dates. Include reference pictures of Goku’s gi posted nearby. Natural lighting, creative atmosphere with people smiling and chatting while they work.

How to Do It

• Purchase 10-12 orange onesies in various sizes (newborn through 6 months) – white works too if orange is hard to find
• Buy fabric markers in blue, black, and white (Tulip brand works great and doesn’t wash out)
• Print reference images of Goku’s gi, showing the turtle school symbol and typical design
• Cover your table with plastic tablecloths or butcher paper for easy cleanup
• Allow 20-30 minutes for this activity during the shower
• Difficulty: Super easy, requires no special skills

Pro tip: Put cardboard inside each onesie before guests start decorating to prevent marker bleed-through to the back. Ask me how I learned this the hard way! 🙂

Power Pole Photo Booth

Photo booths are shower staples anyway, so why not Dragon Ball-ify yours? This setup gets everyone laughing and creates amazing keepsakes.

Image Prompt: A photo booth corner with an orange and blue backdrop featuring hand-drawn clouds. Display props on a side table: cardboard Scouters, power pole sticks, spiky yellow and black wigs, printable “Kamehameha” speech bubbles, baby bottles labeled “Senzu Beans,” and cardboard Dragon Balls. Show a group of guests posing with props, striking martial arts poses. Fun, energetic atmosphere with good lighting for photos.

How to Do It

• Create the backdrop using orange and blue streamers, fabric, or even painted butcher paper with cloud shapes
• Make props including Power Poles (painted dowel rods), printed Scouters attached to glasses frames, and spiky hair wigs
• Print speech bubbles with phrases like “It’s Over 9000!”, “Kamehameha!”, or “New Saiyan Arriving [Due Date]”
• Set up a phone tripod or instant camera station so guests can easily take photos
• Time to create props: 2-3 hours spread over a few days
• Budget: $40-60 for all materials

Wondering how to get guests actually using the booth? Announce it early in the party and maybe even start it off by taking some photos yourself. People just need that initial nudge, then everyone wants in!

Shenron’s Wishes for Baby

This is basically an advice book but way more magical. Guests write wishes for the baby instead of generic advice, and it feels more meaningful somehow.

Image Prompt: An elegant guestbook station featuring a green leather-bound journal labeled “Shenron’s Wishes for [Baby Name].” Show the book open to pages where guests have written wishes, with a few orange gel pens nearby. Include a small Shenron figure or image as decoration. Soft, warm lighting. Intimate corner setup with maybe some flowers or candles for ambiance.

How to Do It

• Choose a nice journal in green or gold tones to represent Shenron
• Create a custom label for the cover: “Shenron’s Wishes for Baby [Name]”
• Write a prompt on the first page: “Shenron has granted you one wish for this baby. What do you wish for their future?”
• Provide quality pens – orange or gold gel pens work beautifully
• Place it prominently where guests can’t miss it, maybe near the entrance or gift table
• Time to set up: 15 minutes

FYI, this becomes such a treasured keepsake. Years from now, that kid will love reading what people wished for them before they were even born. Way better than “sleep when the baby sleeps” advice for the millionth time, right?

Nimbus Cloud Diaper Raffle

Look, diaper raffles are super practical, but they can feel a bit awkward to request. Theming it makes it fun instead of grabby.

Image Prompt: A decorated raffle box designed to look like a yellow cloud with white edges, labeled “Nimbus Cloud Diaper Ride – Ticket for Every Pack!” Show a small printed sign explaining the raffle nearby. Include a few wrapped diaper packs stacked artistically beside the box. One guest dropping a ticket into the cloud. Cheerful, lighthearted atmosphere.

How to Do It

• Create a cloud-shaped raffle box using yellow poster board or paint a regular box yellow with white cloud edges
• Design tickets with clouds and Dragon Ball imagery
• Include raffle info on invitations: “Bring a pack of diapers and get a raffle ticket for prizes!”
• Select fun prizes – maybe Dragon Ball figurines, anime-themed items, or gift cards
• Draw the winner right before opening gifts to keep energy up
• Cost: Just the prize budget, usually $30-50

People actually appreciate having a reason to bring diapers instead of guessing what gift to buy. Make it fun and they’ll be happy to participate!

Dragon Ball Centerpieces

These look impressive but they’re honestly so simple to make. Each table gets its own Dragon Ball number, which also helps with seating or game organization.

Image Prompt: Round tables each featuring a centerpiece made from a large orange balloon or foam ball with a different star number (1-7). Each sits in a clear vase filled with orange and blue tissue paper “flames.” Surrounding each Dragon Ball are smaller elements like mini Nimbus clouds, small figurines, or scattered star confetti. Natural lighting showing the bright colors. Multiple tables visible showing the coordinated look.

How to Do It

• Gather seven large orange balloons or foam balls (one per table, or repeat the pattern if you have more tables)
• Apply star decals numbered 1-7 (you can buy these or cut them from vinyl)
• Create bases using clear vases filled with orange and blue tissue paper, or use fishbowl-style containers
• Add supporting elements like cloud cutouts, small figurines, or metallic star confetti
• Time per centerpiece: About 20 minutes once you have all materials
• Budget: $10-15 per centerpiece

Variation: For a more elegant look, use orange roses or carnations with blue accents instead of balloons. Add a small printed number card instead of giant stars.

Kamehameha Baby Shower Banner

Every shower needs a banner, so let’s make yours announce this celebration with proper Saiyan energy!

Image Prompt: A handmade banner stretching across a wall or mantle with letters spelling “BABY [NAME]” in bold anime-style font. Each letter features a different Dragon Ball color scheme – oranges, blues, yellows. Small Dragon Ball and star decorations hang between letters. Show the banner well-lit as a focal point above the gift table or main party area. Professional-looking finish despite being DIY.

How to Do It

• Choose your banner text – “Welcome Little Saiyan,” “Baby [Name],” or “A New Fighter Arrives”
• Print large letters on orange, blue, and yellow cardstock using anime-style fonts
• Decorate each letter with small stars, clouds, or character stickers
• String them together using orange ribbon or twine
• Hang with command hooks to avoid wall damage
• Time to create: 1-2 hours depending on length
• Budget: $15-25 for all supplies

I recommend making this banner a few days before the shower when you’re fresh and patient. Trying to string tiny letters together the morning of? Recipe for stress you don’t need!

Vegeta’s Pride Baby Games

Not every guest will want to play traditional shower games, but a Dragon Ball trivia corner lets super fans shine while others can participate casually.

Image Prompt: A game corner setup with a standing easel or poster board displaying Dragon Ball trivia questions with multiple choice answers. Show a mix of easy questions (characters, basic plot) and hard ones (episode numbers, specific techniques). Include a small prize table with Dragon Ball merchandise. Guests holding answer cards and discussing options. Fun, competitive but friendly atmosphere.

How to Do It

• Create a mix of questions – some easy (“Who is Goku’s son?”) and some challenging (“What planet did Goku land on after Namek exploded?”)
• Offer multiple choice answers so non-fans can guess
• Include some baby-related Dragon Ball questions like “How many children does Goku have?” or “What was Gohan’s name inspired by?”
• Print answer cards for guests to fill out
• Award prizes for highest scores and participation
• Time for gameplay: 10-15 minutes
• Difficulty to organize: Easy, just need to write questions

Pro tip: Include a few joke questions like “Who would win in a diaper-changing speed contest: Goku or Vegeta?” to keep things light. The goal is fun, not stumping your guests!

Orange and Blue Mocktail Station

A themed drink station that looks amazing and lets guests mix their own drinks? Yes please! This one always gets Instagram’d like crazy.

Image Prompt: An attractive beverage station with clear glass dispensers containing orange juice and blue lemonade (or blue sports drink). Display mix-in options like sliced oranges, star-shaped fruit, and small umbrellas in orange and blue. Show glasses with crushed ice, some already mixed creating beautiful color gradients. Include a sign with drink names like “Super Saiyan Citrus” or “Shenron’s Elixir.” Clean, fresh aesthetic with good lighting highlighting the vibrant colors.

How to Do It

• Set up drink dispensers with orange juice, blue lemonade, or your favorite base drinks
• Provide mix-ins like fresh fruit, star-shaped ice cubes, and colored sugars for rim decoration
• Create fun drink names on small cards: “Kamehameha Cooler,” “Nimbus Cloud Refresher,” etc.
• Offer both caffeine-free and caffeinated options since some guests might be pregnant or prefer decaf
• Add decorative elements like orange and blue straws, mini umbrellas, or edible stars
• Time to set up: 30 minutes
• Budget: $40-60 for ingredients serving 25-30 people

Variation: If you want to include alcohol for non-pregnant guests, set up a separate small station with vodka or rum that adults can add to their mocktails. Just keep it clearly labeled!

Training Weights Party Favors

Send guests home with favors that reference the show while actually being useful. These “training weights” are actually bags of candy or small gifts.

Image Prompt: Small orange fabric bags or boxes tied with blue ribbons, labeled “Saiyan Training Weights – Thank You for Powering Up Our Celebration!” Contents visible include wrapped candies, Dragon Ball keychains, or small figurines. Arrange them on a table by the exit or at each place setting. Clean, coordinated presentation. Warm lighting showing the attention to detail.

How to Do It

• Purchase small orange bags or boxes from craft stores (usually $1-2 each)
• Fill them with treats – orange and blue candy, small Dragon Ball merch, or custom items
• Create thank-you labels that say “Saiyan Training Weights” or “Power Level Boost”
• Tie with blue ribbon and maybe attach a small star tag with guest names
• Budget per favor: $3-5 depending on contents
• Time to assemble 30 favors: About 1 hour

Not sure if you should do favors at all? IMO, they’re a nice touch but not mandatory. If budget’s tight, skip them—your decorations and games will make the party memorable enough!

Final Thoughts: Powering Up Your Celebration

Planning a Dragon Ball baby shower doesn’t mean you need to be an anime expert or spend a fortune on licensed merchandise. What makes these celebrations special is how they honor something the parents-to-be genuinely love while bringing friends and family together to celebrate new life.

The beauty of this theme is its flexibility. You can go full cosplay with guests dressed as characters, or keep things subtle with just the orange and blue color palette and a few dragon ball decorations. You can make everything from scratch if you’re crafty, or order customized items if that’s more your style. There’s no wrong way to throw this party.

What I love most about Dragon Ball-themed baby showers is how they capture the show’s core themes—friendship, determination, and celebrating new beginnings. That little Saiyan-in-training is about to embark on their own epic adventure, and you’re gathering their future support system to welcome them. How perfect is that?

So whether you’re the expecting parent planning your own shower or a friend organizing a surprise, I hope these ideas help you create something truly special. Don’t stress about making everything perfect—focus on the joy of celebrating this new chapter. After all, even Goku didn’t master Ultra Instinct on his first try, right? 🙂

Now go forth and plan an amazing celebration. Your power level is definitely over 9000! 🧡
