Baby Showers
With a bun in the oven, it’s time to celebrate new life. These shower
tips will ensure a memorable arrival of the new addition to the family.
Baby Showers
* Use golf tees to stake helium-lled balloons to the ground – line the driveway,
sidewalk, backyard patio, etc. with pink or blue balloons (or use all purple, all
mint green or all bright yellow if the gender is unknown or secret).
* Have a calendar page with the expected month of delivery, then ask guests to
guess the exact date of the birth by writing their name on a specic day. The
winner gets to have the baby named after them! (Note: The second part of this tip
is completely optional and should be used at user’s discretion!)
* You can use pink or blue dollar store tablecloths to decorate doorways
and windows – simply bunch them up along the borders of the openings like
draperies and tie them back with thick ribbon or tulle.
* Paciers make fun (and completely usable!) cupcake toppers at a baby shower.
* Use real baby bottles (either glass or plastic) with colorful straws to sip
champagne or juice at the party. Don’t forget to check antique stores and
vintage shops for cool old bottles as well!
* Have guests wear a large cotton “diaper” made of a burping blanket and
fastened with a large safety pin upon arriving – or, only make those who are late
wear one!
* Some classic baby shower theme ideas include: Rubber Ducky, Rock Star,
Space Invaders, Adventurer/Explorer, Safari, Princess, Sailor, Tiffany’s Blue, The
Old West, Bumblebee, Mustache, Vintage, Midcentury Modern and Sports.
* Set up a craft table with some white “onesies” and non-toxic fabric markers,
and ask guests to decorate an ooutt for the new baby’s arrival. (You can even
display the “onesie art” on a clothesline run above the table, using old-fashioned
wooden clothespin to hang them.
