Ideas for Baby Shower Parties to help You Plan

Welcoming a baby into the world is a momentous occasion that calls for a joyful celebration. Baby showers (or baby sprinkles) are a great way to do just that! These parties are not only a chance to shower expectant parents with love and gifts, but they’re also an opportunity to create lasting memories with the proper planning. Fun baby shower ideas for themes and games will aid you in planning the perfect celebration.

Baby Shower Theme Ideas

  • Adventure Awaits: Set the stage for an adventure-themed baby shower, with décor inspired by travel and exploration. Create a “passport” for guests to fill out as they “travel” through the different activities and games.
  • Twinkle Twinkle Little Star: Transform your venue into a celestial wonderland with a star-themed baby shower. Incorporate star-shaped decorations, twinkling lights, and a celestial color palette.
  • Under the Sea: Dive into an under-the-sea baby shower with ocean-inspired decorations, sea creature motifs, and a vibrant blue and green color scheme.
  • Woodland Wonderland: Embrace the beauty of nature with a woodland-themed baby shower. Decorate with forest elements, cute woodland animals, and earthy tones.
  • Vintage Baby: Travel back in time with a vintage-themed baby shower. Use antique-inspired décor, pastel colors, and classic baby items as decorations.
  • Pop Culture Pizzaz: Choose a movie based baby shower theme that speaks to you as a couple. This could be the first movie you saw together or one that is a big part of your family. Our family welcomed a little munchkin from Oz, for example, and Baby Yoda is another popular choice!

Baby Shower Ideas for Entertainment and Games

  • Baby Bingo: A classic game that guests of all ages can enjoy. Guests fill out bingo cards with potential baby gifts they think the parents might receive, and they mark off items as they’re opened.
  • Guess the Baby Food: Test your guests’ taste buds with this hilarious game. Blindfolded guests taste different flavors of baby food and try to guess what each one is.
  • Diaper Raffle: Encourage guests to bring diapers as gifts and enter them into a raffle. It’s a win-win, as the parents receive plenty of diapers and guests have a chance to win a small prize.
  • Baby Name Game: Provide a list of baby animals and ask guests to match them with the correct parent animal. It’s a cute and entertaining way to celebrate the impending arrival.
  • Baby Photo Match: Ask guests to bring baby photos of themselves and create a guessing game. Can guests correctly match each person to their baby photo?

Personal Touches and Tips

  • Custom Invitations: Set the tone for your baby shower with personalized invitations that match your chosen theme. Whether it’s a nautical design or a vintage touch, custom invitations add an extra layer of excitement.
  • Interactive Decorations: Incorporate decorations that guests can interact with, such as a “wishing tree” where guests write down well wishes for the baby and hang them on branches.
  • Baby Advice Cards: Provide cards for guests to share their best parenting advice or heartwarming messages for the parents-to-be. It’s a keepsake they’ll treasure.
  • Themed Food and Drinks: Carry your chosen theme into the menu with cleverly named dishes and drinks. For instance, if you’re having an adventure-themed shower, consider “explorer” trail mix or “journey” cupcakes.
 

A baby shower is a special occasion that celebrates the upcoming arrival of a precious little one. With thoughtful planning, these baby shower ideas for creative themes, and engaging games, you can create a memorable and enjoyable event the expectant parents and guests will cherish!
