Bucket List for Baby
There won't be any skydiving or bungee jumping suggestions on this list (well, there might be, but feel free to ignore them)! Give everyone at the party a notecard and have them write down one thing that the new mom and dad have to during their baby's first year(s) of life. From places to go and things to do, it can be a great way to give new parents something (else) to look forward to.
Photo Booth
It might seem like a bit of a cliché move, but photo booths, when done right, can really help make memories at a baby shower. Whether it goes along with a specific shower theme or is just full on baby oriented, having the right setting and some goofy props can really make for some amazing results. Once the shower is over, print out and send guests their pictures as a thank you ❤️
