There is nothing quite so adorable as a shabby chic baby shower. It can begin with the invitations, progress through the table settings and favors, and even include baby clothes and equipment. Of course, it is a good idea to make sure that the gifts meet modern standards for baby safety – some older toys and equipment do not. But it is easy to make modern equipment look as if it were a family heirloom.
Here are some ideas to get started.
Begin with rustic burlap shower invitations, just to set the mood. Then create some painted mason jar favors using ½ pint jelly glasses, decorated with jute string ties and squares of calico print fabric. Fill the jars with something fun for the guests – such as animal crackers. Dye white tablecloths with tea or coffee to give them an aged look and add faux lace paper napkins in wire restaurant style holders. Tour the camping department for sets of speckled, blue enamel dinner sets – durable and cute. Or, if your theme is more sophisticated, go for replicas of blue willow ware.
Gifts can also be shabby chic. Child safety seats that meet standards aren’t likely to fit the shabby chic profile, but a baby cover with quilt top print can convert this essential piece of equipment to something that looks shabby (but isn’t) and is definitely chic. Knitted rompers are nearly timeless and can be purchased or hand knit from vintage patterns – and that goes for diaper covers, too. Incorporate modern convenience (Velcro and snaps) with eco-friendly cloth diapers for a gift that will keep on giving for the first year of the child’s life. Crown the gifts with a sweet satin and lace christening gown or a set of old-fashioned baby gowns that will be perfect for sleepwear.
Congratulations on the birth of your daughter. She is sure to grow up as beautiful as a flower. Celebrate her birth with these plates, each featuring a floral border and the words "Sweet Baby Girl" in the center. These plates will be perfect for piling high with Mom's favorite dish.
This set of cards is a special game for a baby shower, as well as an activity for a bridal shower. Guests can fill out advice for the new mother and predictions about the baby on cards shaped like mason jars, which have gold foil and a floral print.
For young and old alike, this Party Supplies Kit features a birthday candle. It contains all the necessary decorations for entertaining, including hanging and tabletop decor.
Kate Aspen's Pink Woodland Baby Block Box adds a finishing touch to any baby shower decoration. The set of 4 blocks spells out the word "baby" with a cute woodland touch, alternating with different woodland creatures such as a squirrel, a deer, a raccoon, and a fox. It also has some floral hints with greenery accents for a natural feel.
Photo booths are an increasingly popular and fun addition to baby showers. The partygoers can use the props as a way to show off their creativity, and the photos are a great keepsake for the mother-to-be. For a picture-perfect setup, layer the backdrop with gold tassels and place bottles and baby grow glasses on top.
Customizable baby shower guestbooks allow you to preserve the most precious memories from your event. This 8.5 X 8.5 white guestbook has 60 sheets—divided into 120 pages with 10 pages of white photo corners—and a customizable cover with various designs that fit many themes for your baby shower and gender reveal party.
