Combined Baby Shower and Bridal Shower Ideas – Double Shower – Baby Shower Ideas 4U
In an extremely busy world where most of our family and friends live in different places from each other, the idea of a combined baby shower and bridal shower is great.
There are about a thousand reasons why this is a brilliant event, from guests not having to make arrangements to attend two separate parties, to future newlyweds/parents-to-be not having to stress about two important events being placed so close together.
Combined Shower Invitations
First of all: use the invitations you send out to give guests clear and concise information on what they can expect from this party, such as how the gifts should go.
Have fun with the invitations by including dual images of matrimony and baby, with fun phrases like “It was a joint effort, so now it’s a joint shower!”
Shared Shower for Sisters or Best Friends
Sometimes two sisters or best friends can be pregnant and get married in the same place, so why not celebrate both while all their loved ones are in the same place? Plus, creating an exciting extravaganza of celebrating two major life milestones is an occasion that is simply unforgettable.

Combined Bath Decorations
While it may seem daunting at first to find a way to combine these two wonderful occasions, with a little creativity and imagination, it can be done—and it’s easy!
You can never go wrong with a basic palette of bright colors of simplicity. Whites, ivory, and light blue or pink (depending on the gender of the soon-to-be little bundle of joy, of course!)
Also, pay attention to the textures used—lace and burlap, soft linen or cotton stick best. Think ivory linen tablecloths boasting Baby’s Breath centerpieces and roses, and peonies in sparkly vases.
Have twined burlap banners that spell out greetings, and balloons with stars and hearts, and messages like “Welcome, baby!” and “Sa Bagong Gng!”. You can also incorporate a theme like a whimsical boho, or a white tea party complete with big hats and cute sundresses worn by the guests.
Combined Baby Shower and Bridal Shower Food and Beverage
You can also use party food fare in its own unique way. For example, have a themed sweets buffet table for the baby, with stroller-shaped sugar cookies and baby cakepops. Then, for the drinks table, have wedding-inspired cocktails and drinks.
The main meal can be finger food style where guests can grab and go without too much fuss. Remember what Mommy-to-be needs to avoid.
Combined Shower Game and Activity
Have a guest Mad lib game where guests mix up both baby and bride words (the results will be super funny). Another game suitable for combined baby and bridal shower games is the famous, ‘What’s in your Purse’ or ‘What’s on your Cellphone’ or even ‘Price is Right!’ games! Customize items to make the game more personalized and engaging!
You can also create an activity where guests create something for the honoree(s), such as a flower making station or easy canvas painting. Then, send guests home with favors that will make this special soiree unforgettable forever.
Combined Bath Favors
Special soaps in the shape of little prams or faux rattles filled with luxurious candies commemorate the celebration of the upcoming newborn, while heart-shaped tea candles and crystal, diamond-shaped wine stoppers both capture happiness of the upcoming new bride.
With so many options available when it comes to decor, food, and fun, there’s no better way to celebrate two slices of love than with a fabulous joint shower!
