As well as honouring the upcoming birth of a baby, a baby shower is the perfect excuse to get creative!

There’s no limit to the imaginative baby shower ideas you can throw together to celebrate a new life coming into the world.

If you’re organising a baby shower for yourself or a friend, check out 10 of the best baby shower ideas to make it an event to remember. They’re easy to achieve and low-budget. So, if you’re keeping it simple, they’re just perfect for baby shower ideas at home.

1. Onesie decorating

Get guests to personalise a onesie for baby by providing a supply of plain white onesies and fabric markers. This activity doesn’t require any artistic ability, as it’s the thought that counts!

2. “I wish you…” activity

For a cute guest activity, cut out animal shapes on light-coloured paper. Guests can then write their wishes for baby on a shape (“I wish you a fun-filled childhood,” as an example), and all the shapes can be hung bunting style. The wishes make a lovely keepsake to look back on in years to come.

3. Gender reveal cupcakes

No baby shower is complete without cupcakes! Fill them with pink or blue icing as a delicious way to reveal the baby’s gender. Remove a “plug” of cake from the centre of each cupcake, fill the gap with piped icing in your chosen colour and put the plug back in place. Cover the cupcakes with buttercream and you’re good to go!

4. Don’t forget the mum-to-be!

Without a doubt, the mum-to-be will be delighted with the gifts received for her little one. But don’t forget that mama deserves a little pampering, too. If you’re the organiser, remind guests to bring something for mum as well as baby. Anything small and heartfelt will hit the spot. Here are some ideas:

  • A candle in her favourite scent
  • Body products like bubble bath or body lotion
  • A pretty photo frame for the first baby-and-me pictures
  • A journal to chronicle her baby’s first year

Or you could club together and get her vouchers to spend in her favourite store or on a pre-baby beauty treatment.

5. Guess the baby game

Have all the guests bring a photo of themselves when they were a baby. Pin them on a board and have fun guessing which guest matches which picture! This is a fantastic way to break the ice if guests don’t know each other.

6. Create videos from family and friends far afield

If key family members and friends can’t make it to the baby shower, get them to make and send videos to express their good wishes for the family-to-be. You can use a simple editing app to create a short movie to be screened at the party.

7. Make a guest book

Before the baby shower guests leave, get them to write a few reflections in a guest book. They can write about the fun they had at the party, the hopes and dreams they have for the little one and well wishes for the expectant parents.

8. Mocktails

Mocktails are a thoughtful touch when mama and any other members of the party aren’t drinking alcohol. Research some recipes that you know will go down well with partygoers. Or, you can even set up a bar where guests turn their hand to making their own mocktails.

9. Write on nappies

Make future nappy changes fun for mum and dad by getting guests to write on nappies. Get them to scribble jokes, messages and pearls of wisdom on the outside of nappies using permanent markers. This will raise a smile at nappy changing times and will be especially welcome during those lonely nighttime sessions!

10. Silicone wristbands customised with baby’s gender

Providing a bag full of favours is the finishing touch to any great party. Make your baby shower party bags extra special by adding soft, comfortable and long-lasting silicone wristbands customised with the baby’s gender.

You can do this by choosing a plain pink or blue wristband or by choosing silicone wristbands with a custom message such as, “It’s a boy!”

As well as being a novel way to reveal or remind guests of baby’s gender, wristbands will serve as a special memento of a fun-filled few hours spent with nearest and dearest.
