Baby Shower Ideas
Baby Shower Activities
- Wishes for the baby (like this one)
- Baby word scramble (like this one)
- Blank folded card for guests to write down baby name suggestions
- Stamped envelope
- Pen
Here are another couple ideas for you:
1. Have the guests suggest their favorite baby names. The Minted table tents made for the perfect suggestion card that everyone dropped in a big jar. My sister then read them out load after opening the presents – everyone got a kick out of hearing the names.
2. Buy the mommy-to-be a set of thank you cards, then have each guest write their address on the envelope to save her from having to do so. She will appreciate the time savings! I got my sister these cute personalized thank you cards from Minted that coordinated with her shower invite and stamped the envelopes for her as well.
Table Decor
Food and Drink
We had a brunch for my sister’s shower. My mom worked hard in the kitchen cooking some delicious quiches and cinnamon rolls, but incorporating couple store-bought dishes like these mini muffins helps lighten the cooking load a little. I plated these muffins on a cake stand and decorated them with a few Minted cupcake toppers to make them look a little more special.
You can also dress up straws with the cupcake toppers and use stickers like these from Minted on the front of paper cups to help guests keep track of their cup by writing their name.
Everyone loves a party favor, and it doesn’t have to be extravagant. We packaged up a couple of biscotti in a clear cellophane bag and sealed with a sticker for guests to take home.
I hope this gives you some ideas for your next shower! The cards, stickers, and confetti from Minted went a long way with just a few DIY touches. Minted offers so many great decor lines for every type of party, from baby showers, to birthdays, to holiday gatherings. Be sure to check them out if you’re planning a party soon!
