Valentine’s Day is the day of love and worship celebrated all over the world. What better holiday, then, to theme a baby shower after than one where we pay tribute to the ones dearest to our hearts.
Valentine’s Day Baby Shower Invitations
Get your baby shower invitations covered in hearts, glitter, and awesomeness sent and get ready for a fun baby shower party! Start it off with a sweet message “Our little sweetheart is on the way!”.
Hearts Baby Shower Decorations
There are so many decorations when it comes to Valentine’s Day and you can be as bold or as subtle as you like. It’s best to stick to three main colors to stay with the theme: pink, red, and white. You can’t go wrong with classic decor in Valentine’s Day colors and patterns, like polka dotted or silvery balloons tied to tables and chairs, or heart-splashed streamers accenting doors or ceilings .
A heart garland in red and pink will add a sweet touch and can be strung in more than one place in your place. Less classic decorations that really add flair to a baby shower are large pom pom globes hanging from the ceiling and tissue letters marking the new baby’s monogram placed on the tables.
Flowers are absolutely essential for a Valentine’s Day baby shower, especially roses, peonies and baby’s breath make for the perfect arrangement. Set your bouquets on places like tables to pose as centerpieces or serving tables as accent pieces. Having a Valentine’s themed Diaper cake as the centerpiece is another amazing idea.
You’ll want to take tons of photos to remember this event forever, so a DIY photo booth for you and your guests to enjoy is a great way to do so. Choose a solid color wall and hang the heart garland vertically for a simple backdrop and have photo booth props like mustaches, hats, glasses, and a mother-to-be sign for your guests to play with .
Valentine Baby Shower Food
Food is one of the most important aspects of a baby shower, and you can really have fun with Valentine’s Day themed fare. A celebration cake with an image of hearts and letters expressing joy for the soon-to-be baby is a great idea and can be a wonderful main attraction for the party.
Elaborately decorated cupcakes, decorative cookies, and candies in glass apothecary jars or heart-shaped holders and stands are indispensable. An unexpected treat or two is a great idea to impress your guests, like color-layered pudding parfaits in champagne glasses or heart-shaped, sugar-coated cake pops sprinkled with mini hearts .
For tasty treats, finger foods are a great way to go, and a Mom-osa bar with cute heart labels would be nice. Matching forks, cups, plates, and napkins bring your entire food presentation together.
Hearts Baby Shower Games
Here are some game ideas that embrace the Valentine’s Day theme and add some love to the Valentine-themed baby shower celebration:
