Baby Shower Party Supplies

Themed decorations and tableware make the day special. If you know the baby's gender you can use a blue or pink palette or go for soft pastels or other fun colors. Float balloons, hang up a personalized banner, set out a big centerpiece, and decorate the walls too. Fill the room with decorations and it will make the event more festive. Party favors are fun to give out to all the guests. You don't have to be a kid to enjoy baby shower themed candy, pens, or other trinkets. Or give personalized keepsakes that people will treasure for years. The guests and the mother will love it. Still not sure where to start? Fear not - we have you covered! Our blog is full of great ideas that will help you throw a picture-perfect baby shower for the mama-to-be in your life. Check us out!

Baby Shower Party Supplies & Ideas

Can you hear that? It’s the pitter-patter of little feet! A baby is on the way, and the mother-to-be deserves to be honored with a beautiful baby shower. Baby showers have become a rite of passage for most expectant mothers. What were once low-key living room parties for family with cute games have become elaborate to-dos, complete with themes, fancy cakes, photo booths and elegant decorations. Whatever your theme or budget, we have the baby shower and gender reveal party supplies you need to throw an amazing fete for the mom-to-be in your life.

We all know the nursery rhyme: Snips, snails and puppy dogs’ tails, that’s what little boys are made of. Sugar, spice and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of. Whether the parents-to-be are expecting a baby boy or a baby girl, we have all of the tips and tricks you need to ensure their bundle of joy is welcomed into the world properly.

When to throw a baby shower

Timing is key when it comes to choosing a date for your loved one’s baby shower. We recommend aiming for 6-8 weeks before the mother-to-be’s due date, just to be safe. Be sure to verify the date with the key players: the mother- and father-to-be, their parents, their grandparents and other close relatives. Traditionally, baby showers have just been for the ladies in the mama-to-be’s life. These days, however, expectant parents often buck tradition and celebrate at a couples shower. Once you verify with the new mom and dad what time of shower they prefer, you can start compiling a guest list. It’s easiest to start your way in and work your way out - invite close family, then extended family, then friends. If you need a little help, don’t hesitate to ask the parents-to-be for names and contact information. They’ll be happy to pass along their loved ones’ details - after all, they want their nearest and dearest to be there to celebrate their baby-to-be!

What you need to throw a baby shower

No two baby showers are the same, but they all have one thing in common: a venue. Well, maybe that’s not quite true - they all have babies in common, too! Once you’ve nailed down a date for your loved one’s baby shower, it’s time to pick a place. There are tons of options when it comes to a location for a baby shower: someone’s home, a park, a religious establishment, a restaurant - the options are endless! The number of guests you’re planning to invite might dictate where you hold the shower; after all, a party for 50 might be too big for someone’s living room.

The next thing you’ll need is a theme, and we can help with that. We carry a variety of baby shower and gender reveal party supplies in myriad themes, from the classic Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star to something more unique, like woodland creatures. And best of all, we’ve taken the guesswork out of coordinating everything - you’ll find matching plates, napkins and tablecovers, as well as gorgeous decorations that help set the scene. Looking for a personalized touch to make the mother-to-be feel extra special? Personalized party supplies and decorations are the way to go. She’ll be thrilled that you took the time and effort to plan such a picture-perfect baby shower for her bundle of joy.

Types of Baby Showers

Way back when, there used to be one type of baby shower: ladies gathered in someone’s living room to celebrate a pregnant mama. These days, however, there is no one standard for a baby shower. There are so many different routes you can go; here are a few that we’re particularly fond of:

Baby showers for boys or girls. Oftentimes, couples choose to find out the gender of their baby-to-be. That can make planning a shower easier, as it narrows down the list of possible themes. Blue bowties might be a great shower theme for a baby boy, while pink ballerinas are perfect for baby girls.

Gender-neutral baby showers. Back in the day, parents used to have to wait until the baby was born to find out its gender. If the mom- and dad-to-be are waiting to be surprised on the big day, a gender-neutral baby shower is the way to go. There are so many wonderful themes for these types of showers, including jungle animals and bubble baths.

Baby sprinkles. This is a relatively new type of baby shower during which guests celebrate a mother’s second or third child. Most times, the parents don’t need all of the traditional baby shower gifts, like a stroller, crib or nursing pillow - they already have those from their first baby. Instead, it’s a way to treat the expectant mother with a little something special for her, like a prenatal massage, and a gift for the big brother or sister. Gifts of diapers and formula are perfect for baby sprinkles - every parent needs more of the basics, no matter how many children they have.

Couples baby showers. We mentioned before that baby showers used to just be for women, but that is changing. Nowadays, it’s common to visit a backyard barbecue baby shower that everyone can enjoy. Couples baby showers should have options for different activities, so that if certain guests would rather catch up and play cornhole instead of watching the mom-to-be open her gifts, they are free to do so.
