Isn’t this a simple baby shower checklist? Not much and no need to feel overwhelmed.
Below are some simple and sweet little gestures to make the new mommy feel extra special at her baby shower.
- Have a big comfy chair waiting for him to sit on.
- Ask someone if they can write down who all the gifts are from.
- Pre-address some thank-you cards for her, to make it easy to write thanks (or have each guest address an envelope with their information)
- Don’t let mom carry any gifts in her car – get the shower gang to do the lifting!
- Have a cute mom-to-be gift basket filled with slippers, bubble bath, candles, and a soothing CD.
- Older brothers and sisters may feel a little left out. Treat them to a basket full of books, crayons and bubbles!
- Brush up on your Baby Shower Etiquette: What to do and what do you mean no will do
We’ve created a free printable diaper bag checklist that you can print and put inside your baby shower gift for the mom-to-be at her baby shower!
The perfect gift idea is to give her back that diaper she’s been eyeing and fill it with all the “new baby” essentials! Then include the checklist so she’s always stocked with essential “new baby stuff!”
Diaper bags tend to overflow with all kinds of craziness – especially if you have other children. There could be iPads, Kindles, iPhones, last week’s odd snack, juice boxes, you name it!
When you bring a new baby home, you want the new diaper bag to stay as clean and tidy as possible. Below is a list to keep it well stocked and a few tips to keep it free from magical foods.
Top Diaper Bag Essentials

An easy way to stay organized and keep clutter to a minimum is to clean out the diaper bag after every outing. This is easier said than done but it really helps.
Also, if you have other children, fill a small bag with things they will need like snacks and toys and put it in the diaper bag. This way their things stay separate from the baby’s things.
Put your cell phone, lip gloss, wallet, etc. in a side pocket or a mini purse.
