Tips For Planning A Winter Baby Shower

Published on Jun 9, 2023.

Although babies are a blessing at any given time of the year, a winter baby shower is a fun and festive occasion to celebrate the arrival of a new member of the family. Though it isn’t the season to throw a lavish party with bright flowers and sunshine, there are many creative ways to celebrate, and with a bit of inspiration from the season, you can have a warm baby shower that is unique and authentically wintry for the parents-to-be. A winter baby shower can be elegant with crisp whites and shades of cool blue and pink as well as pops of shimmer incorporated into the baby shower theme. Cozy, toasty refreshments along with candles and even a fireplace would make a cracking winter baby shower. If you are planning a winter baby shower for yourself or for a loved one, here are some tips and inspiration for a gorgeous winter baby shower.

Theme Ideas

For winter, deck out your party space with snowflakes and cotton to create a winter wonderland-themed baby shower. Supply your guests with some cozy tartan blankets and add a touch of sparkle with white, silver, or gold sequin or glitter. Keep the details elegant, emphasizing the shades of white, and feel free to add bits of blue or pink for a gendered shower. Add pine cones and light up the fireplace if you have one and you have yourself a winter wonderland.
If the mom-to-be is a Disney adult or already has a little princess, a Frozen-themed baby shower will surely be a hit. Bring the magic by matching the decor with the color palette of Elsa’s dress, adding iridescent accents throughout the space, or turning the party space into the palace. Either way, make sure there is an icy touch in the decor.

Food

If you have set your theme to be reminiscent of a light and elegant winter’s day, serve up a gorgeous luncheon with simple sandwiches, cream puffs as well as other white foods like meringue or marshmallows to fit the theme. Regardless of what kind of winter theme you choose, do not forget about the hot coffee and hot chocolate that are integral for every cozy winter baby shower. If there are children around, snacks like cocoa bars, candy canes, and smores will surely bring a smile to their faces.
