Baby Shower Ideas

Then and now, baby showers are always a joyous occasion but can also be very stressful if you're doing the planning. Between the games, gifts, food, and favors, they can overwhelm anyone! When it comes to food, if you plan an afternoon party, finger foods are always the way to go. Fresh fruit and a veggie platter are always an easy menu and a crowd pleaser. You can also add something sweet, and decadent, like our signature baby petit fours or our beautifully decorated baby shower cookies to accent the table.

Games are a must at any shower. There are so many games to choose from that it can get confusing. I suggest doing something simple, but fun. If you have a co-ed group, try to do something that everyone can enjoy. For example, the alphabet game is a good one to get started with. Split your group up into teams and give them each a piece of paper. They have to come up with a baby associated word for each letter of the alphabet and the team that comes up with the most words wins. Another great game is the memory game. The hostess will put together a tray of baby items (bibs, pacifiers, bottles, ect.) and have the mother-to-be walk around the room showing the guests the tray. When she leaves the room, have the guests write down what the mommy-to-be was wearing. Your guests will have concentrated so much what was on the tray that they will struggle to figure out what she was wearing! For prizes, you can chose something cute, but practical like the personalized coffee favor kits, our adorable baby cookie cutters, or for the country themed parties, the country cow candles are a popular item.

If you are hosting a shower, you can help your guests out with gift ideas by having your mommy-to-be register for what she needs. We also offer some great shower gifts that are sure to be a hit! Our personalized woven straw diaper bag is perfect for the new mother to carry all the baby necessities. You can pamper mom by getting her cozy personalized terry cloth spa slippers. For the new baby, swaddle him in our personalized fleece baby blanket, finished with the baby's name.

Finish the party off by giving everyone a lovely parting gift. If you have a theme, giving a favor that compliments that theme is always a great finale. Favors don't have to be expensive but you can add elegant touches to make them look stunning! Our lovely Italian favor boxes complimented by our personalized satin ribbon. Fill each of these delicate favor boxes with the mother-to-be's favorite candy. Since the holidays are coming up, having a holiday theme is always a popular idea. The hanging picture frame ornament makes a wonderful party favor and can add a lovely touch to anyone's tree. For more of a non-denominational gift, our snowflake photo coasters are a great winter idea. In both of these items, you can include a "thank you" note inside the frame, which adds a nice personalized touch.
