A baby shower is a lovely way to celebrate the parents-to-be. Whether you are planning a small coffee get-together or a big party: these seven tips will help make it a day to remember.
1. Choose the right time
Most baby showers take place between weeks 28 and 34 of the pregnancy. By then, the mom-to-be usually still feels fit and there is enough time to find a spot for the gifts.
2. Consult (or surprise)
Ask yourself if the mom-to-be enjoys surprises. At the very least, coordinate the date, guest list, and preferences with their partner.
3. Choose a theme and colors
A theme makes everything easier: soft pastel shades, clouds, teddy bears, or a nature theme. Pick two or three colors and stick to them for the decorations, the cake, and the invitations.
4. Decorate with ease
Bunting, balloons, and pretty napkins create an instant atmosphere. Check out our party decorations and party tableware for a perfectly set table.
5. Plan a few games
- Guess the belly size: whoever is closest wins.
- Baby photo quiz: guess who is who in the guests' baby photos.
- Wish cards: each guest writes a wish or piece of advice for the parents.
6. Think about gifts
Avoid duplicate gifts with a free gift registry. Looking for inspiration? Check out our baby gifts, cuddle cloths, or newborn gifts under €25.
7. A lasting memory
Have guests write a wish card or create a photo album together. This way, the family will have a wonderful memento of this day to look back on.
