Baby showers have been around for centuries in most cultures. The original purpose was to ensure that after giving birth, the mother would have everything she needed as she took care of her newborn. We haven’t deviated that far from the origin in our modern times. Today, a baby shower is the ultimate celebration to honor motherhood as well as receiving practical, beautiful, thoughtful gifts.
The pregnancy journey can be challenging; therefore, designing and curating a blissful baby shower opens the door to having your loved ones celebrate this new life in special, fun, and memorable ways.
5 Baby Shower Ideas
1. Get Creative By Designing a Baby Quilt
This imaginative concept for a baby shower can be prepared in advance by the attendees and presented as a gift during the event. It can also serve as an engaging activity for those who enjoy quilting.
Each participant can personalize their fabric square, which can then be collectively assembled (or done with the assistance of a professional). This will create a cherished and practical warming, soothing gift that was co-created for the newborn.
2. Baby Pictures & Photo Frames
Before the baby shower, distribute a simple photo frame to each attendee. Encourage them to embellish and customize the frame, subsequently placing an old baby photograph of themselves within it. This will allow each guest to connect with the wondrous stage of babyhood. Gather the decorated frames on the day of the party to utilize as charming decorations for the baby shower.
Additionally, you may organize an entertaining game of Guess Who? featuring the baby photographs. Lastly, the frames can serve as memorable keepsakes for the newborn and the entire family following the party.
3. Create a Baby Advice Board
Are you new parents who want some advice from experienced parents? Establish a “baby advice” board for loved ones to share notes or suggestions for the expectant parents. These messages can be sincere, useful, or humorous. Reading them out loud the day of, or afterward in the privacy of your home, will surely be special.
4. Time Capsule Activity
This distinctive baby shower concept entails guests bringing items for the baby to uncover in the years to come. Each person can add their own special item to the time capsule, which the guest of honor can then bury in a location of their choosing.
This is a very unique way of giving yourself and your older son or daughter the illusion of time-transcendence. When the time comes to open the time capsule, everyone from the past will have placed an item intended to be opened in the future, that you get to uncover in the present.
5. Spa Shower Day
Lastly, arrange a spa day within the comfort of your home, providing the expectant parents with a rejuvenating experience that includes massages, facials, or manicures. This concept is an excellent way to indulge the parents-to-be and assist them in unwinding before the arrival of their child. They will undoubtedly express their gratitude for such a thoughtful gesture.
2 Baby Shower Games
1. Baby Bingo
Baby Bingo is an excellent addition to your baby shower, infusing the event with excitement! This enjoyable variation of the traditional game ensures that guests remain entertained and actively involved.
To organize the game, prepare bingo cards featuring baby-themed items in place of numbers. Consider including items like baby bottles, onesies, rattles, pacifiers, and baby books. As presents are unwrapped, attendees will mark the relevant items on their cards. The first individual to achieve 5 in a row will exclaim “Bingo!” and receive a prize.
2. Don’t Say Baby
Enhance the baby shower by adding the entertaining game known as Don’t Say Baby! Upon guests’ arrival, provide each one with a charming pin or bracelet to wear. The concept is straightforward yet difficult: participants aren’t allowed to utter the word “baby” during the gathering. It proves to be more challenging than anticipated!
If a slip-up occurs and someone mentions “baby,” the individual who catches them will claim their pin or bracelet. The guest with the highest number of bracelets after the shower concludes will emerge as the victor!
