When it starts to feel like everyone around you is getting pregnant, it can be hard to plan a baby shower that doesn't blend in among the rest of the pink and blue bashes. Make your celebration unique by adding special touches that both you and your guests will appreciate and that will add new life to a day typically spent with corny games and shielded yawns. From incorporating sentimental guestbook alternatives that the baby will grow to cherish to clever food ideas that will definitely beat the alternatives, check out these 18 baby shower ideas that aren't lame.
01
Use the nursery theme for the baby shower so you can incorporate special decor from the party into the baby's room afterwards.
02
Instead of a traditional guestbook, have everyone sign a children's book that the little one can always cherish.
03
Find chic decals the mom-to-be actually likes so she ends up with onesies she'll use and not think looks like a craft project.
04
Mix up features from family members and let guests take a stab at what the newest arrival will look like.
05
Use a specific prompt to get meaningful notes to surprise baby with when he or she is older.
06
Elevate the guessing baby food game with fruit purée and a charcuterie board.
07
Don't forget a signature cocktail (in mom's honor).
08
Bring in baby photos from both sides of the family and test just how well everyone knows each other.
09
Create a rainbow with fruit for a cheerful treat.
10
Create a photo wall for a personal game as well as adorable decor and a conversation starter throughout the party.
11
Ask guests to write notes on diapers for some encouragement or laughs during the endless changes.
12
Dip Oreos in pink or blue white chocolate for a crowd-pleasing (and surprisingly easy) dessert.
13
Use a globe instead of a guestbook for a memento that the baby will never outgrow.
14
Get both new and seasoned parents riled up over the seemingly endless costs of having a baby these days.
15
Even if mom and dad haven't realized baby's name, let his or her initial inspire the day
16
Create a themed dessert table complete with an adorable backdrop.
17
Show off your sense of humor with the favors.
