Easy Baby Shower Ideas To Celebrate The Mom-To-Be

Creating a baby shower for a mom-to-be should be easy and exciting! The shower should be fun and unique to her and celebrates her baby! After all, it can be an overwhelming time for the mom-to-be. A baby shower can give her an excuse to relax, have fun, and receive many much-needed gifts that can help lessen the overwhelming feeling that all new parents are consumed by when they realize how much stuff a baby truly needs.  Shower her with love and check out the following easy baby shower ideas to help you put together a simple and thoughtful shower for the mom-to-be!

Invites

Begin the celebration of baby’s arrival by sending out customizable baby shower invites to guests. Check out Etsy for easy and personalized options! Make sure to save one for the mom-to-be as a keepsake!

Welcome Sign

Welcome your guests and mom-to-be with a customizable welcome sign. Use a wooden art easel to easily prop up the sign for all to see! Add some simple greenery for a beautiful touch. Another sweet keepsake for the mom-to-be when the shower is over!

Backdrop

Set up a sweet and customizable backdrop to act as a memorable background for pictures or decor to hang over the dessert table. Add jumbo confetti balloons for an even greater effect!

Balloon Arch

Add a dramatic balloon effect by easily creating a balloon arch!  Set up the balloon arch over the mom-to-be while she opens gifts (perfect for pictures!), or set it up over the food or dessert table! Add a cutout of the baby’s name for a special touch!

 

“Pop When She Pops” Bubbly

Hand out baby-sized bubbly that reads “Pop When She Pops” for guest to continue the celebration once the baby is born! Attach a fun straw to each bottle, like these stork paper straws! So cute!

Books Instead of Cards

Encourage guests to include a book instead of a card with their gift. You can write this on the invite! Ask guests to personalize the book as they would have a card. Not only are you starting a book collection for the little one, but you are also giving him/her a personalized collection. Pick a sweet classic for the baby!

 

Mom-osa Bar

Create a fun play on words mimosa bar for your guests! Don’t forget to include some stylish juice carafes and champagne flutes. Make sure to get the mom-to-be some sparkling juice so she can play along in the fun!

 

Cake topper

Add a fun cake topper atop the dessert of your choice! Whether you decide on one cake, cupcakes with small toppers, an adorable donut display, or an assortment of different desserts, a topper can easily be incorporated for an extra touch of glam decor!

“Well Wishes For Baby” Card

Have guests fill out a “well wishes for baby” card. The mom-to-be can safely store these for the baby to read when he/she is much older! Such a sweet idea!

 

Baby Shower Bingo

Keep guests entertained while the mom-to-be opens gifts with a fun game of baby shower bingo! Have a few prizes for the winners, like these “poppin’ bottles” bottle opener!

 

Onesie Decorating Station

Have guests create one of a kind onesies for the baby! Have a pack of plain white onesies in multiple sizes. Check out this article by HGTV for a step-by-step guide!
