A Magical Christmas Baby Shower

Christmas Baby Shower Invitations:

Create a card out of cardstock (in your choice of color) to resemble a present. Fold over the sides to create a flap and secure with ribbon to look like a bow on the present. When they open the present the invitation is written on the inside. You can write something like...

'Tis the Season to celebrate! (mom's name)'s having a baby! Come help us celebrate the gift of life coming to the (last name) family. Date, Time, Place, RSVP

Send a recipe card with the invitation. Ask them to write down their favorite holiday recipe to put in the new mom's holiday cookbook.

Christmas Baby Shower Activities:

Welcome To the North Pole!- Decorate your front door as a backdrop. Take pictures of your guests with the mommy to be as they arrive at the North Pole. She can then send a copy of the picture with her thank you cards or use it in a fun scrapbook to share with the baby when it gets older.

Holiday Cookbook-Arrange for guests to bring their favorite Christmas recipe to the baby shower to share with the mommy. Set out a card style album for guests to decorate their recipes for a fun holiday recipe book for the mommy to use. Set out pens, markers, ribbon, stickers, and embellishments for guests to get creative with.

Have extra cards available for people who might have forgotten to bring theirs.

Baby's Firsts- Decorate christmas items for the baby to enjoy for its first christmas. You can set out a stocking, Santa hat, onesies or any other baby clothing. Use fabric paints, glitter, gemstone jewelry, ribbon and stencils to help guests create the perfect first christmas for baby.

Christmas Baby Shower Games:

Which Santa Baby Is Who?- Collect baby pictures of the guests coming to the baby shower. Prepare Santa hat cutouts from construction or scrap booking paper and tape to a poster board or the wall. Attach a number to each Santa baby. The guests must guess which baby picture belongs to which guest. The person with the most correct answers wins a prize.

Present Game Pass- Since Christmas is just around the corner, a gift game would be fun to play at the baby shower. Wrap gifts to use, one for each guest. You can have everyone pass the gifts to a story or to Christmas music. Another fun idea would to start with all of the gifts in a pile in the center of the room.

Start with one side of the room and go around the group in a circle. Each person can choose to pick from the pile or steal from someone else. Set a rule for stealing gifts, such as each gift can only be stolen twice.

For a little extra fun- add a few gag gifts to the group of presents. It will add lots of fun and excitement as people realize they have one of the gags.

Christmas Baby Shower Decorations: Use your christmas decorations as your backdrop to create a festive setting. By using christmas lights and candles, you can add an elegance to the baby shower.

Hang your favors on the christmas tree to add to the festive feeling.

Place mirrors around the room to reflect the soft glow of the lights.

Hang some mistletoe at a door opening with a cute sign that says, "Kiss the baby!" Decorate the room with presents, garland, and any other christmas memorabilia that add to the warm feeling.

String up some christmas chains around the room with the baby colors. You can also number each chain as a countdown to baby's birthday and give it to the mommy to use.

Christmas Baby Shower Theme Food: Christmas time is full of warm and comforting foods. Share your christmas spirit with your guests by offering delicious goodies for them to enjoy.

Some good holiday food ideas could be eggnog, cocoa with peppermint candy canes, cookies and milk, fudge, gingerbread men, pumpkin pie, cheesecake, and caramel popcorn.

The cookie touch- If you are arranging a sit down meal, use decorated cookies as the name cards. Write the guest's names on each cookie for a fun, edible touch.

Christmas Baby Shower Centerpiece:

Tabletop Christmas Tree- decorate a miniature christmas tree to go on your gift and food tables. If you know the baby's gender, you can decorate it with the colors of blue or pink or decorate it to match your theme.

Christmas Decorations- Use Christmas decorations to decorate your food table. Place some poinsettias, garland, or grapevine on the table. Weave in silk flowers, berries, baby's breath or anything else that reminds you of christmas.

Christmas Baby Shower Favors:

Use a miniature christmas stocking and fill with candy. Decorate the top part of the stocking to say something like..

(Mom's name)'s Baby Shower 2007 add a piece of paper inside that says "thanks for coming!"

Christmas Baby Shower Prizes- some ideas would be mint lip gloss, lotions, christmas cookies or candy, christmas ornaments, and packages of hot cocoa with a mini candy cane tied to it.

Christmas Baby Shower Ambience- Play christmas music for your guests to get them in the christmas spirit. It would be fun to use any music that have the word "baby" in it, like the "Santa Baby" music cd.
