Is the birth getting closer? Then listen up: have you ever heard of a baby shower? It’s a party held to celebrate the mum-to-be by metaphorically “showering” her with gifts ahead of the upcoming birth — hence the word shower.
With fun, photos and laughter, it’s a moment you’ll never forget. After all, it’s the perfect excuse to spend time with your closest friends and create amazing memories. Extremely popular in the United States, this kind of party has now become increasingly common in Italy too. To avoid the usual déjà-vu effect and organize a truly original baby shower, though, what you need is a touch of creativity… and the magical touch of Album di Figurine!
1. Prepare a guest book
Among the best ideas for organizing a successful baby shower, the guest book is our favorite. Leave space for your guests’ thoughts so they can fill the blank pages with wishes, signatures, and a few anecdotes for you to treasure forever. Every time you flip through it, it will bring a wave of emotions rushing back!
2. Create a photo corner
Photos at a baby shower party are incredibly important, and a photo booth will encourage your friends to capture unforgettable memories. Set aside a corner of the house for selfies and group photos, choose a few themed props, and don’t forget to say cheese before the shot — fun is guaranteed.
3. Set up a creativity table
Why sit around doing nothing when you can add a touch of DIY creativity to your party? Origami, little paintings, necklaces — any creative activity will turn into a pastime that’s hard to forget.
4. Ask for baby name suggestions
If you haven’t chosen a name yet, look for inspiration and ask your guests for suggestions. Leave out a pad of sticky notes and a pen, then collect all the notes in an empty jar… who knows, you might just find a name in there that makes you fall in love.
5. Prepare decorated sweet treats
Could delicious sweet treats possibly be missing? Of course not. There is no shortage of recipes for an extra-sweet baby shower — let your imagination run wild!
6. Tempt everyone with a healthy aperitif
Alternatively, choose something a little lighter. Your guests will love a tasty yet wholesome break: after all, fruit and vegetables are easy to decorate with carved details and can be the stars of countless recipes.
7. Create a prêt-à-maman library
A book-themed party? Creating a baby registry made up entirely of books is one of those baby shower ideas you do not see very often. Even better: this is the perfect chance to come up with something truly unique! Buy a small children’s bookcase and, together with your guests, you will create the very first library for the love of your life.
8. Prepare a special cake
There’s no party without a cake, right? Have fun choosing the flavor, fillings, and sweet decorations, as long as it fits the baby-themed celebration. If you’re looking for inspiration, how about a sponge cake shaped like a baby onesie or a stork?
9. Leave a little gift for your guests
A simple little gift is a special way to thank everyone who chose to share your baby shower with you. There is no need for anything expensive — quite the opposite. It’s with a simple and original gesture that you’ll really hit the mark: a photograph, for example. And do you know the most original way to give someone a picture? Read the next paragraph to find out.
10. Create a sticker album
It’s wonderful to flip through memory albums filled with the photographs we care about most. But did you know that, beyond traditional photos, there’s an even more original way to collect the memories you love most? Everyone loves stickers, and we turn your images into adhesive stickers to place in your album or give to whoever you like — perhaps even to the guests at your wonderfully original baby shower!
Have fun creating stories that are truly one of a kind: discover our albums!
