I am absolutely loving how we are veering away from the traditional formal aspects of a baby shower. Before, we were seeing a lot of pastel pink or pastel blue themes for Baby showers.

Now, we are embracing all sorts of fun themes to celebrate the mom-to-be!

What better way to cozy up this holiday season than a Christmas themed Baby Shower!

I am so excited to share a complete list of what you need for your baby shower. Keep reading to find a list of items and creative inspiration for your Christmas baby shower!

Tis The Season For A Little Present, so let’s give the parents-to-be the Christmas Baby Shower of their dreams!

Planning a baby shower takes a lot of work.

I created this post for you to make planning your Christmas baby shower easy and to give you some inspiration for a Holiday baby shower.

Like this post, but planning a Christmas Bridal Shower Instead? Check out my post here!

First, you will need to decide on your venue.

You’ll have to sit down and talk with each one of the contributors about what they can realistically afford to spend for the baby shower. I would suggest planning this and booking the venue at least 3 months ahead, just so you have an accurate idea of cost.

Next, you’ll want to check in with the mama-to-be’s family as well. Is mom/grandma/aunt/sister contributing financially to help with the baby shower? That will give you a better understanding of the budget you have for the baby shower.

If you’re lucky enough, someone will allow you to host the shower at their house! This will save everyone a ton of money. You’ll also have some creative freedom with what decorations you want to use.

Once you’ve booked your venue and have solidified the date and time, you’re ready to start designing an invitation.

Create An Invitation

I have made two editable invitations that are super cheap, on theme with the Holiday Baby Shower, and you can choose to either print it on your own or send it digitally.

  1. A Little Cookie Is On The Way
  1. The Greatest Gift 

You’ll want your invitation to stay on theme with the shower. “A Little Cookie Is On The Way” or “The Greatest Gift” is so cute and has just the right amount of Holiday for your Christmas Baby Shower!

Of course, you can search online for print companies that will mail the printed invitations to you and spend more money. But that’s your choice.

I would recommend sending out the invitations at least 6-8 weeks in advance of the baby shower.

Next, you’ll need to begin thinking about food and drink for the baby shower.

How long are you hosting the shower? Most showers are only 2 hours, sometimes 3, so that can give you a good idea of how much food to have.

If the shower is only 2 hours in length, let’s say from 2:00pm-4:00pm, you could get away with having a bunch of appetizers and desserts.

Any longer than 2 hours, I would recommend having some sort of meal choice.

Of course, if you have booked a venue, they likely come with their own catering company and you’ll be able to select from a menu.

If you are hosting in someone’s home, you could choose to make the food yourself, have everyone bring a dish, or you could outsource the catering as well.

Don’t forget about drinks!

3. You’ll need flutes! These are disposable and have a classy gold rim.

4. I am loving these peppermint napkins!

You’ll want to have plenty of bottled water for your guests and maybe another drink choice such as iced tea or lemonade. Soda is not very typical at baby showers.

To stay on the Christmas Baby Shower theme, you could even make a Holiday specialty drink!

5. Put it in this Christmas Red Ornament Drink Dispenser!

6. A Hot Chocolate Bar would be so cozy and adorable

Then, start thinking about decorations for your Christmas baby shower.

Definitely look at Pinterest for inspo on decorations!

Balloon arches are super on trend right now. You’ll want to look at some inspiration for spooky themed arches, as long as your venue allows this.

You can do the balloon arches indoors. They do not have to be outside! Although you may want to tie a balloon out front of the house/venue so that your guests are sure of where the baby shower is.

First, here are some Christmas Baby Shower Balloon Arch Ideas:

7. Classic Red & Green with Candy Canes

8. Christmas Pastels for a Girly Vibe

9. Red & Green with More Variety

10. Winter Wonderland Blues

11. Deep Burgundy and Gold Tones

12. Gingerbread House Balloon Kit

There are seriously so many different balloon arch kits to choose from on Amazon.

13. Make sure you don’t forget your balloon pump! You will NOT want to be doing this without a pump.

Doing these balloon arches takes a lot of time. Make sure you plan accordingly and that you have people helping you with this! You may want to consider blowing up all of the balloons the night before. They should stay fresh.

Next, think about some other Christmas Baby Shower Decorations:

14. Merry Little Baby Shower Backdrop

15. Pink Gingerbread House Backdrop

16. Pom Pom Garland

17. Red Table Runner

18. Christmas Table Centerpieces

19. Disposable Dinnerware Set

20. Oh Baby Cupcake Toppers

21. Christmas Table Confetti

22. Reindeer Wood Serving Tray

23. Christmas Dip Serving Bowl Set

24. A Little Present Is On The Way Banner

25. Gingerbread Photo Props

You can purchase some frames from the dollar store and make cute signs on Canva to decorate on tables.

26. Better yet, I’ve made some Gingerbread themed printable ones!

Making them yourself or purchasing print at home templates will save you so much money rather than custom ordering the signs.

Christmas Baby Shower Favor Ideas

27. Gingerbread Ornaments 

28. Christmas Bottle Openers

Finally, you need to think about how you will entertain your guests at your Christmas Baby Shower.

Baby Showers are known for their cheesy games about the mom-to-be or about the couple. You should definitely have some sort of entertainment for the guests, whether it be games or interactive advice cards.

Make sure your games fit the theme of the baby shower!

29. Guess what?! I’ve made ready to print games

30. You can get all of my Gingerbread Baby Shower Prints in this bundle. It will seriously save you so much money and time!

Lastly, sit back, relax, eat some food, and have a great time!

I hope you give your bestie the Christmas Baby Shower of her dreams!
