Baby It’s Cold Outside Baby Shower Invitations

Your invitation is important in setting the tone for your Baby It’s Cold Outside baby shower. You can keep it simple and cute or go all out with wintery themes that truly capture the season. Think snowflakes, pine trees, and a rustic cabin, all in crisp and cool colors like icy blues, soft greys, and whites. And if you're expecting a baby girl, add some pastel pinks and purples, or for a baby boy, some mint greens and navy blues. For the wording, consider playful phrases like Join us for a cozy celebration or Bundle up, it's time for a baby shower! to bring a touch of charm and warmth to your invitations. After you find the design of your choice, you can either print your invitations or send them digitally for an eco-friendly option. These ideas will add an extra level of winter magic to your celebration, making your guests excited as well for the event.

Baby It’s Cold Outside Baby Shower Games

Once you’ve sent out your invitations, start planning exciting games and activities for your baby shower. One idea is to give a wintery twist to the classic Don’t Say Baby game. As guests arrive, hand them each an adorable mini-mitten or clothespin and explain the rules. The goal is simple: don't say the word baby. If someone catches another guest saying it, they get to take their mitten or clothespin. The person with the most at the end of the shower wins a prize. This game is not only a great conversation starter, but it also adds a fun, competitive element to the party. For a more relaxed and thoughtful game, try Guess the Baby's Birthday. Guests can write down their predictions for when the baby will arrive, and the closest guess wins a prize. To make it extra special, you could create a cute calendar with snowflakes or socks for guests to pin their guesses on.

You can buy pre-made snowflakes or make your own and hang them from the ceiling. You can also put some glitter on it for that extra sparkle and magic. Then, string twinkling fairy lights around the room to imitate a starry, snowy night. You can pin them on walls, drape them around tables, or even place them inside jars for a delicate and enchanting glow.

These inviting spaces will offer guests a place to relax and chat while enjoying the festivities. And don't forget about the balloons!
