Tips For Hosting a Baby Shower

Consult The Mom-To-Be

The easiest way to plan a successful baby shower is to ask what the mom wants. (It's always that way, isn't it?) To make sure this happens, create an organized list you can check off as you plan to make sure you don't forget any of the important details she mentions. If she doesn’t like being the center of attention, you might want to plan some non-traditional baby shower activities. Consider creating a fun baby-shower themed word find for everyone to complete or a matching game.

Send Invites Early

Sending your baby shower invitations at the right time will give your guests enough time to plan, RSVP, and go out and buy the perfect gift for the mommy-to-be. This will also help you when booking your caterer and making party favors. We usually recommend mailing them 4- to 6-weeks before the baby shower. Be sure to use one of our custom envelopes in addition to our personalized address labels featuring beautiful floral designs and classic styles to add a nice touch to the invite.

Keep Food And Drinks Simple

A baby shower doesn’t have to be extravagant to be memorable. Find a few tasty yet simple food and drink options and put together a beautiful table setup or snack bar. Consider creating a taco stand for everyone to create their own and serve light refreshments such as water, lemonade, and iced-tea. For some budget-friendly decor, consider searching for a few baby shower printables.

Create A Checklist

Planning a baby shower or big event of any kind needs to be organized, especially if there are many guests attending. Put together a checklist to stay on track of all those small baby shower details. If you’re co-hosting, be sure to split up the tasks by category such as food and utensils, decorations, and party favors to make your party planning a breeze.

Ask For Help

Event planning is a lot of work so be sure to ask for help from close friends and family of the mom-to-be who know her the very best. Keep in mind that many items such as creating a guest list, choosing the theme, and writing thank you cards can be left to the future parents. As the mother opens her gifts, be sure that you or someone else takes care to write down the name of the person that bought her a gift. This way, when it's time to write and send out thank you cards, it's easier for the mother to write them out.

Choose The Right Date And Time

Baby showers are usually held during the day and weekends. If you’re on a tight budget, we recommend scheduling your baby shower outside of meal times. This way, people won’t be expecting a full meal and you can stick with small treats like finger foods and light refreshments.

Baby showers are also held 6- to 8-weeks before the baby is due. This gives the future parents plenty of time to decorate the nursery with their new gifts and start planning for the baby’s arrival.

Plan Fun Games And Activities

Nothing says baby shower like tons of fun baby games and activities. An important factor to always consider when planning and putting together a baby shower is keeping all the guests who attend happy and entertained. Consult with the mom-to-be on the type of activities she’d like to have and be sure to add them to the day’s itinerary.

Now that you’ve gathered some inspiration, you’re ready to wish the new parents all the joy in the world with their little one. For a unique baby shower gift, print one of these baby shower messages on a canvas to create beautiful hanging wall art for their baby’s nursery. It’s sure to make a gift they’ll treasure for years to come.
