Need some ideas for making an upcoming baby shower as special as possible for the mother-to-be? Baby showers are a very special occasion and to truly celebrate it right you want it to be as fun as a typical party while also feeling very specific to the special occasion that is entering motherhood.
Here are all the best baby shower ideas to do just that and help make the special occasion one to remember!
1. Do A Theme For The Food or Party (Like This Bear Theme 🥹)
Having a theme for your food (or party) makes setting up your party so much more fun and can also help ensure that your party has a more cohesive look for a more aesthetically pleasing final result!
Popular themes include themes such as this bear theme, pink or blue, floral, under the sea, sunshine and ‘twinkle twinkle little star’.
2. Have A Painting A Onesie Activity
A craft always makes for a fun party activity and it can help guests feel like they have a bit of a purpose in creating something for the baby (or a momento to remember the party by if you don’t want to keep the ‘creations’).
You can also opt for something simpler such as a paint a bib (as shown below) or a simpler craft like creating a card.
3. Create A Welcome Sign (Perfect for Photo Ops)
Something about a sign just always makes a party feel a lot more proper and you will definitely want one at your baby shower if you plan on taking lots of photos as it makes for the perfect backdrop for them.
If you are doing a theme, then design one accordingly such as this floral themed sign…
4. Create A Display / Decorate With Baby Themed Decor
A baby shower is just like any other party in the sense that you really want to decorate in a way which fits the occasion.
Baby themed decor can be as simple as sticking to a pink or blue colour scheme and it is a good idea to create a display with gifts or things you have already bought for the baby such as baby clothes.
5. Create A Girl/Boy Themed Sweets Table
A cute desserts table is such a must for a baby shower which guests are sure to appreciate. 😋✨
Baby themed iced cookies or mini baby bottles of nuts or chocolate nibs make for some really great on-theme additions to a baby shower desserts table.
6. Don’t Forget To Incorporate Some On Theme Balloons
How cute are these balloons / it is a party so balloons are a must…
These bow balloons are such a chic look which are perfect if the mother to be is expecting a baby girl!
7. Set Up A Photo Wall/Backdrop For Taking Photos
An aesthetic photo wall like this makes for such a fun addition to a baby shower and makes for the perfect spot to snap photos.
The great thing about a photo wall is you can really make it your own and unique to your party. You may want to go all out like the one above or if you want a more elegant and lowkey photowall you may wish to do a photo wall like this one below:
8. Give A ‘Pop When She Pops’ Bottle As A Party Favour
Let’s face it… party favours can seriously make or break your guests impression of your party.
Something fun and fitting like this makes for the PERFECT party favour which your guests are sure to love.
9. Play ‘Guess The Date’ With Your Guests
‘Guess the date’ is a really great game to play at a baby shower to help bring everyone together and get a little conversation flowing.
You may wish to put a prize up for grabs which the closest guesser will receive after the birth of the baby. 👶💅
10. Prepare Cute (On Theme) Party Bags For Guests
A party bag always goes down well and they are also very fun to make.
Create a party bag with a few party favours or snacks and your guests are sure to appreciate it.
11. Have A Bagel Bar
So this isn’t a particularly baby shower specific idea but is something that it is always great to have at a ‘brunch event’ and is perfect for allowing large groups of people to easily create their own bagel to their liking.
Choose out an array of toppings and lay out some bagels for a ready-to-go bagel station.
12. Give A ‘Words of Wisdom’ Card For Each Guest To Fill Out
This is such a fun party game which is likely to produce a bit of laughter but also a lot of genuine advice which may be useful.
All you really need to prepare this party game is print off or buy some cute cards which are fitting with the theme of your baby shower and you are good to go!
That wraps up this list of baby shower ideas! Hope you have found this list helpful and that you have an awesome baby shower! 🙂
