Baby Shower Footprint Ideas

Invitation Ideas for a Baby Footprint Shower

When planning a baby shower, the first thing you'll want to do is start sending out those shower invitations so that everyone can save the date for the baby shower on their calendar.

You'll want to go with shower invitations that reflect the footprints theme that you are using for the shower.

One great idea is to make the invitations yourself, cutting out invitations in the shape of baby feet or baby shoes.

Then you can write in the invitations yourself and with a few embellishments, they are sure to be adorable.

In some cases you can find some store bought invitations that have baby feet on them as well, and these will also make great options for the invitations.

Not sure how you should word the invitations? Maybe you should use a nice poem in the invite.

Here is a look at some of our FREE Footprint Baby Shower Poems that you can use in the invitations.

Use our ideas or combine poems together for something a bit more unique for your invitations.

Baby Footprint Shower Decorations

Decorating for the baby shower can be a lot of fun. Maybe you're not sure what you can do to decorate for this theme.

One idea is to decorate using a lot of little baby shoes. Look for cheap baby shoes or baby booties and use them as decorations around the area to convey the footprint theme.

Another great idea is to cut out the shapes of hands and feet and hang them around the room as well.

If you have a baby of your own, consider stamping their feet and hands and stamping them on a tablecloth that you can use for the main table at the shower. This is sure to look adorable.

Food Ideas for a Baby Footprint Shower

You'll want to carry through the footprint theme through the food as well.

One great idea is to make up cookies in the shape of little feet to serve at the shower. Consider making little sandwiches in the shape of baby shoes as well.

The cake is one easy way that you can portray the theme. Have the cake made with footprints on it or make a cake yourself in the shape of baby feet for a great centerpiece on the food table.

Activities and Games

Of course, you'll need some activities and games to keep the party going. Keep the games in line with your theme as much as possible. Here are a few great ideas that you can use.

Draw a Foot

One hilarious game you can play is draw a foot. It doesn't sound too tough, but the twist is that everyone has one minute.

Give each person a piece of paper, a pencil, and get the time ready. Have them put the paper on their head and draw a foot.

This makes it a lot harder. See who is able to draw the best foot on their head. It's a game that will definitely have everyone laughing.

Hop Scotch

Another idea is to play hop scotch if you have a place outdoors. This game is all about the feet.

Of course, mom probably shouldn't play, but it can be a lot of fun for the rest of the guests.

See who can make it all the way through the hop scotch course.

Prizes and Favors for the Shower

There are many great ideas for prizes and favors for a footprint baby shower.

One great idea is a little pedicure set. Scented foot scrubs make great ideas that will go along with the theme as well. Bath beads in the shape of feet or even manicure sets are great ideas.

Perhaps stuff baby booties with some candy for a cool favor idea as well.
