How to Plan a Baby Shower That’s Out of the Ordinary

If you’re looking to host a baby shower that truly stands out, a little creativity and planning can go a long way. From unique themes to special touches, here are some tips to help you throw a memorable event that’s out of the ordinary.

Traditional baby showers often focus on pastel colours or classic themes like “Baby Safari” or “Under the Sea.” To make your shower one-of-a-kind, consider choosing a less conventional theme that reflects the parents' personalities or interests. For example, a “Travel Adventure” theme could showcase their love for exploration, with decorations inspired by different places they’ve visited. Or, for a fun twist, why not go for a “Storybook” theme, where each table or station celebrates a favourite children’s book?

Adding personalised elements makes the event feel more intimate and meaningful. Consider using our personalised baby shower stickers for a special touch. These stickers are versatile and can be customised with your own wording and designs or photos. Use them as name labels for guests or as adorable decorations on party favours. Whether it’s on small jars of sweets, candles, or mini keepsakes, a personalised label makes each favour memorable.

To set the tone for the celebration, you could also use our personalised photo postcards as unique event invitations. These customisable postcards allow you to add a personal photo and message, giving your invitations an extra-special touch that guests will love.

Instead of traditional games, plan unique activities that guests will remember long after the shower. A “Wishing Tree” where guests write messages of love and advice for the parents-to-be is a sweet way to involve everyone. You could also set up a “Baby Prediction” station where guests guess the baby’s name, birthdate, or other fun details. For a creative twist, offer art supplies for guests to decorate onesies or bibs – the parents-to-be will love these heartfelt keepsakes!

For a visually impressive baby shower, consider adding customised treats and decorations that align with your theme. Cupcakes with themed toppers, a customised cake, or a sweets table are great additions. Decorate them with colours and designs that tie back to the personalised baby shower stickers you’ve used throughout the event. This cohesive look brings everything together and adds a polished feel.

As a final touch, send guests home with meaningful favours. Whether it’s a mini candle, a plant, or a personalised treat, add a baby shower sticker to each favour for that extra special detail. This adds a personal touch to each gift, making it not only memorable but a perfect way for guests to remember the day.

With a little planning and personalisation, your baby shower will be an extraordinary celebration that the parents-to-be and guests alike will cherish.
