Our 85 Best Baby Shower and Gender Reveal Party Ideas

The gender reveal was months ago, but the excitement doesn't end there. Collaborate with parents-to-be and use this shower as an opportunity to reveal the baby's name to all their friends and family. Let your creative juices flow and turn to your theme to dictate how you showcase the name at your event. This adorable, hand-lettered chalkboard made the perfect statement piece at a collegiate-themed shower.

Let guests help with the party decor by stringing up colorful cards with advice and well wishes for the parents-to-be. Cut out colorful shapes of your choice — we love these sweet animal shapes — and let guests choose which card they want. By the end of the party, you'll have an entire wall of thoughtful advice.

Did you really host a bomb baby shower for your best friend if there aren’t any stylish photos to prove it? Show off your hosting skills and create a festive, built-in photo booth to capture the mama-to-be and friends. Use this colorful, sprinkle-inspired set up to inspire a sweet photo booth design of your own.

If the guest of honor has chosen a name for the baby, spell it out in large, painted chipboard letters. As partygoers arrive, have them use permanent markers to write messages and sign their names. The finished piece can then be taken home and hung in the nursery as sentimental wall art.
