January Baby Shower Ideas

Author:: Elaine Byers

Host a Winter Wonderland Shower

Winter time is a wonderful time to host a party, with all the magical elements of the season such as sparkly decorations and warming drinks - you can have a lovely time. Incorporate winter animals such as penguins, polar bears and deer. You can choose color schemes such as silver and blue or pink and silver. There are also films you can base your event on such as Frozen, which is a huge favorite for most people. So take inspiration from these Baby Shower Ideas to get started.

Hot Chocolate Favors

Make Hot Chocolate Favors for guests to take home from the event. You can purchase jars and fill them with cocoa powder and marshmallows. For a spiked version, add mini bottles of bailey to the side of the jar with twine or ribbon.

Hot Chocolate Bar

For a cozy drink station, make a hot chocolate bar. If you have a slow cooker you can use this and just keep it on the warm setting for guests to help themselves. You can make a sign to instruct guests and you can have plenty of items at the station such as drink stirrers for example.

Donuts

For a lovely treat, make sure you have donuts to hand. These will go very nicely with a hot chocolate. You can include different filled donuts as well as different sizes.

White Desserts

Nothing could be more perfect for winter themed even than serving white frosted cupcakes. Add whimsical white trees around the dessert table to really set the tone - you can even search through your Christmas decorations to see if you have anything else there that would work.

Baby it's Cold Outside

For a Baby it's Cold Outside themed party, make sure to include plenty of winter decorations such as snowflakes. A Frozen theme would work well here too.

Mimosa Bar

Add the glamour with a Mimosa bar. Supplies needed include, bottles of sparkling wine, glassware, an ice bucket to keep your bubbly cool, straws and serving trays. The twinkling lights behind the sheer drape are just magical!

Winter Cookies

Bake a batch of cute cookies for hungry guests. You can buy shaped cookie cutters that include baby grows, rattles and snowflakes online. Ice them in colors that relate to your decor.

Silver & Gray

For a baby girl shower, Silver & Gray are beautiful colors to work with. Add lovely winter animals such as fluffy polar bears. Along the table you can drape, silver, white and pink pom poms.

Baby shower cupcakes.

Make a statement with a tiered tray of beautiful blue and white iced cupcakes topped off with a beautiful snowflake decoration.

Chalkboard Sign

Up-cycle an old frame and transform it into a Chalkboard Sign for your party. Spray paint the outside silver and add chalkboard paint in the center. You can then reuse for any event of your choosing.

Winter Diaper Cake

A diaper cake makes not only a great gift but also a wonderful centerpiece or decoration for your shower. The supplies include diapers, ribbon, paper towel tubes, scotch tape, straight pins, hot glue and hot glue gun. The best thing about this idea is that you can change the colors to suit the theme.

Cake Pops

Cake pops are always a huge hit and they are rather easy to make. Use your favourite cupcake mix and mix and bake. Then make balls from this by adding frosting. Pop each ball onto a cake pop stick and dip in white and pink candy melts and put in the fridge to harden
