A Christmas baby shower is a natural extension of the core ideas
of Christmas. As family is already gathered, perhaps from far flung areas,
Christmas is a great time for a baby shower. There are multiple ways to
incorporate the theme of Christmas into your baby shower. Here are a few ideas:
Christmas Decorations
A Christmas ornament is something that is very related to the holiday. Consider
having your guests each make an ornament as a gift for the baby or even as a
take home gift for themselves. The traditional salt dough ornaments are fairly easy, but
should be made before hand. If you chose to make some with meanings, there is a
nice set of meanings available for your to use.
Paper chains are also fun
and can be done in colors to represent the baby – think pink and blue or even
colors that represent the baby’s nursery colors. Paper chains should not be
strung on Christmas trees with lights due to the fire hazard, but make great
decorations for baby’s room.
You could also use a fake
pink or blue Christmas tree and decorate it with gifts for the baby. Think baby
socks, rattles, small toys, etc. This can be a very cute centerpiece for your
food table or in the entry way. A white tree also works well if you don’t have
access to a pink or blue tree. You might also consider a real tree with only
pink or blue lights.
Christmas Related Foods
Decorating cookies is a huge Christmas tradition. You can
certainly do this in a traditional sense, or you can also offer a few baby
related cookies too. Think might be a baby shape, a pregnant belly, rattle,
stroller, etc.
Offer traditional hot or cold drinks with a Christmas touch, but
ensure that you have a pregnancy friendly version, even with egg nog or
mimosas.
Christmas Baby Shower Games and Activities
As the wise men brought blessings for baby Jesus, the wise women
at the baby shower can offer advice. (In general, it should be positive advice
and not a pregnancy or birth horror story.) This can be done on individual
cards and read allowed or gathered in a book to be presented to the
mother-to-be.
