Unique Baby Shower Ideas

Lets face it ladies—moms just wanna have fun too! Any mom can testify to the fact that not only do they love to be pampered, but they also really need to be pampered.

Pamper the Mommy
Our unique baby shower ideas are focused on pamper the mommy themes that combine wonderful spa services with other unique ideas for a baby shower.

Ideal for Second Time Moms
Not only is a pampering theme a great choice for the first time mother to be, it is also an ideal choice for the second time mom. By the second pregnancy most moms already have all the “baby gear” and really seem to want and need the pampering and personal attention more than the baby stuff.

I remember from my own experience and from stories shared with me by other second time moms that the pampering and special attention just isn’t there in the same way it was with the first pregnancy. This makes a spa themed baby shower all the more meaningful and impactful to the expectant mother.

Spa Party Kits May Do the Trick
If you are not in the Austin area or do not have access to mobile spa services consider purchasing one of our spa party kits to host a do it yourself spa themed baby shower.

Baby Shower Themes and Rituals

Once you have selected your pamper package, choose a theme for the party. We have selected a few of our favorite ideas listed below.

The Blessing Way
The blessing way ceremony is a personal favorite of mine. This makes for a really special and unique baby shower. You can choose multiple activities according to your preferences. Below are some of our favorites:

The Birth Altar
The birth altar is a way to create sacred space during the baby shower as well as a way to remind the new mother of the love and support of her community during her time of transition into motherhood.

To create a birth altar, have each guest can bring a special item dedicated to the baby. Special items such as unique stones, necklaces, charms, notes to mom and baby, candles, and the like are ideal items that can later be set up in the mothers home to create sacred space and remind her of her support system.

Wool Yarn Bracelets
The wool yarn bracelets are a wonderful way to bring a sense of ritual and sacred community into the baby shower. The bracelets are a symbol of support for the new mother during pregnancy and birth. They are worn until the mother goes into labor at which time they are cut off, symbolizing the birth of the new baby into the world.

Have everyone sit in a circle on the floor. Pass the roll of wool yarn around the circle. As each person receives the yarn, have them share words of wisdom and blessings for the new mother and her baby.

When each woman is done speaking, have them tie a piece of yarn around their wrist. Everyone woman will wear the piece of yarn until the mother goes into labor. Once they hear that her labor has begun, each woman may cut the yarn off to symbolize the new mother’s transition into motherhood.

Generational Names Ritual
This is a fun activity to do during a baby shower and it also goes well with the wool yarn bracelets ritual.

As each woman takes their turn speaking have them begin by first saying their name, then the name of their own mother, then the name of their mothers mother (their grandmother), and lastly the name of their mothers, mothers, mother(great grandmother)—all the way back for as many generations as they can remember.

This is a neat way to connect each woman with her past and all the women from whom she descended.

The following is an example of how this would work:

Woman 1: “My name is Clara, daughter of Elanor (Clara’s mother), daughter of Audrey (Clara’s grandmothers name), Daughter of Sharon (Clara’s great grandmothers name.) And so on…...

Candle Decorating
As a fun activity during the shower have each woman decorate a candle with empowering words and images for the new mom. We find that the tall glass Mexican votive candles work best for this activity.

Provide scissors and glue and a stack of old magazines that the guests can search through to find interesting words, phrases, or images.

These candles make a great addition to the birth altar!

Spa Slumber Party Baby Shower
Get pampered in your PJs for this baby shower!

This is a really fun theme that mixes perfectly with the spa party baby shower theme.

Have each guest arrive at the shower in their PJ’s. Choose some favorite girly movies or movies with a baby theme and be sure to make plenty of popcorn and order out for pizza. Plan to stay up late telling stories and make a delicious brunch in the morning !

Scrapbooking Baby Shower
We love this idea! This is a great way to help the mother to be prepare for organizing her memories of her new little one.

Garden of Delights Baby Shower Theme
Choose a beautiful outdoor setting to have a picnic.

Provide special note cards and have each guest write a note to the new baby.

On each note card attach a unique bead. After each guest has written a message to the baby on the note card, have all the guests sit in a circle. The host will then read each note aloud to the new mother.

After reading each note the host will place each bead on a piece of string and begin to make a necklace for the new mother. This makes a special and unique keepsake for the mom and the baby.
