Invitation Ideas for a Christmas Baby Shower

Of course, baby shower invitations are going to be necessary and if you're stumped for ideas, here are some great invitation ideas that you can use for a Christmas baby shower.

Another option is to use invitations with other Christmas themes, including Christmas trees, holly, winter scenes, and more.

If you want to make them yourself, it's pretty easy, especially with all the free winter clip art that you can find on the web to use.

Great Activities and Games for a Christmas Baby Shower

You'll definitely want to make the games for the Christmas baby shower unique and relative to the season.

If you want some special activities and games for Christmas, here are some great ideas.

Recipe Cards Activity

One great idea for an activity to use at this baby shower is to give everyone recipe cards when you send out the invitations.

Have them bring along one of their best or favorite holiday recipes. Allow them to decorate the cards and have a few extra cards as well. This way you can make a nice holiday recipe file for the new mommy-to-be.

The Gift Pass

Another great idea that is a lot of fun is a gift pass.

Have everyone sit in a circle and have enough small gifts wrapped up for each person.

(You may want to have some extras in case you end up with extra guests) Give everyone a gift, then play some Christmas music.

As the music plays, pass the gifts around. See who ends up with which gift. Adding some gag gifts to the mix can make this even more fun.

Count the Christmas Lights

Have a decorated tree and know how many lights are on the tree.

Have guests guess how many lights are on the tree and submit their guesses during the shower. At the end, give a prize to the one who guesses the closest to the actual amount of lights you have on the tree.

Decorate Baby's First Ornaments

Purchase some simple ornaments and have everyone make a baby's first ornament.

This way the new baby will have plenty of great ornaments to celebrate his or her first Christmas. It's a fun way to get artistic.

Decorating for a Christmas Baby Shower

Decorating for a Christmas baby shower really isn't that difficult.

In fact, if you're having it at your home, more than likely you'll already have your home decorated up for the season, so you won't have a whole lot to do.

One idea is to make sure you have your Christmas tree up. Other than your main tree, consider decorating up a mini tree with baby bottles, little baby angels, lambs, cherubs, and other baby items.

Make sure you use plenty of Christmas lights as well to add some cheer and a feeling of Christmas. Adding some candles is a wonderful idea too.

Another great idea is to have some mistletoe in the room that has a special sign on it, saying "Kiss the new baby."

You can use pine boughs, wreaths, garland, and other Christmas decorations throughout the area to give the shower a real Christmas feel.

Great ideas for centerpieces include mini trees decorated in blue or pink, poinsettias, bowls of shiny Christmas ornaments, or even a basket of cinnamon scented pinecones along with a big red ribbon on the handle.

Christmas Baby Shower Food

The food for the shower shouldn’t be too difficult to come up with.

One great idea is to serve some tasty Christmas cookies.

Have a variety of different Christmas cookies available and other tasty Christmas snacks, including fudge, caramel popcorn, candy canes, and more.

For drinks, hot cocoa, eggnog, and even spiced cider make some great ideas. If you are serving an entire meal, consider a Christmas style dinner and you can make use of cookies, decorating them with names to use as place cards.

Great Christmas Themed Favors

Not sure what to give out as baby shower favors for the Christmas baby shower?

There are many cost effective ideas that you can use. One idea is to purchase mini stockings and stuff them with candy to give out. Boxes of Christmas cookies make great favors, as do personalized Christmas ornaments.

Consider Christmas scented candles, peppermint flavored lip gloss or mini lotions, or even hot cocoa mixes.
