1. Keep the holidays going with a New Year\u2019s-themed baby shower<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First on our list of January baby shower ideas is a New Year\u2019s-themed baby shower. Since you\u2019re celebrating during the first month of the year, it makes sense to celebrate and emphasize the parallels: the new year has arrived, and your little one is on their way, soon to be creating a massive change in your life as well! Parenting Squad<\/a> suggests sparkling drinks (alcoholic and\/or non-alcoholic), sparkly d\u00e9cor, and New Year\u2019s games such as a \u201cparenting resolutions\u201d game that doubles as a source of helpful parenting advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Use glitter to add some shimmer whenever you can<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There isn\u2019t a winter-related party theme on this list that wouldn\u2019t be improved by the addition of glitter. Glitter evokes the glint of the snow and the twinkle of bright lights around the holidays. Whether it\u2019s edible glitter sugar on cupcakes, banners covered in glitter, or asking everyone to wear their glitteriest outfits, incorporating glitter will add a festive feel while also being completely appropriate for a winter party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that if you’re renting an event venue<\/a>, they may have a rule banning the use of glitter on the premises. You can easily get around this by booking a venue that provides you with shimmery disco balls that just look like they’re tossing glitter around the room!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Embrace the season and all things adorable with a polar bear baby shower<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A polar bear-themed baby shower is a cute and very wintry option that\u2019s pretty easy to execute. Be sure to include the polar bear on your invitations and use a lot of white and, if possible, fuzzy decor. You can even use stuffed toy polar bears as a centerpiece or other decor. Use white flowers as well with pops of gold, blue, pink, or other brighter colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Plan a precious \u201cFrozen\u201d baby shower<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is an especially great January baby shower idea if you know there will be kids in attendance because \u201cFrozen\u201d is incredibly popular among younger children and has been for quite a while! But decor based on \u201cFrozen\u201d can also look pretty cool, with icy color schemes of blue, silver, and white like Elsa\u2019s dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

5. Incorporate a sleigh ride to enchant your guests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you have snow near you and a place that offers horse-drawn sleigh rides in January? If so, any way that you can incorporate that into your party would be ideal \u2013 it\u2019ll be a truly adorable experience and is also a great opportunity for photos of the mom-to-be! Plus, it\u2019s a way to enjoy some much-needed fresh air during a season when we\u2019re often cooped up inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Have fun with an astrology-themed January baby shower (Capricorn or Aquarius)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of our more interesting January baby shower ideas is an astrology-themed baby shower\u2013but not just astrology in general, instead specifically celebrating the astrological sign that your baby is likely to have based on their due date. Those born before January 20th will be Capricorns, and those born from January 20th on will be Aquariuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Set up a tasty hot cocoa bar with all the trimmings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whatever baby shower theme you choose, you can\u2019t go wrong including a hot cocoa bar at your baby shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Embrace the season and throw a hygge baby shower<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The idea of \u201chygge\u201d\u2013a specifically Danish idea of coziness and togetherness with loved ones\u2013has been increasingly popular in the States, and it\u2019s no wonder! Make the concept of \u201chygge\u201d the central theme of your party, cultivating as much coziness as possible, asking guests to dress in their comfiest sweaters, and lighting plenty of candles and string lights while offering comforting mugs of tea and delicious baked goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Decorate your space with plenty of candles (or fake candles)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another decorating technique where you can\u2019t go wrong regardless of what theme you choose is incorporating candles, candles, and more candles into your decor. If you\u2019d prefer fake LED candles for safety reasons, there are some convincing ones out there on the market, too. Either way, candlelight will give your baby shower an especially wonderful, relaxing ambiance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Get competitive with a gingerbread house-making contest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re the kind of person who likes to have activities at your parties to ensure everyone has a great time, a baby shower where all the guests make gingerbread houses is a really fun winter idea. Just provide them with all the necessary house-building materials and get ready to see some delicious works of architectural art!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to book a spacious venue with a kitchen<\/a> through Peerspace to make this fun activity a breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our last January baby shower ideas combines a woodland aesthetic with a Snow White theme. If the mom-to-be loves all things Disney, this idea is especially perfect for her! Start by decorating your venue with branches from pine trees or other conifers, clouds of fake snow, Christmas lights, and images of baby deer, squirrels, and other adorable animals (you can incorporate them into cookies and cakes, for example).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. Plan a baby shower brunch with views and all her favorite dishes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who doesn’t love brunch? And when it comes to all the chilly weather we deal with in January, the more decadent the meal, the better! Throw the mama-to-be a yummy baby shower brunch to warm her up body and soul. Have a private chef whip up brunch in the kitchen while the guests cozy up on the deck that’s surrounded by redwoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick tips for finding the right baby shower venue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re planning a baby shower, the venue can be just as important as the menu or theme. The right space sets the tone, gives you a beautiful backdrop for photos, and takes the stress of setup and cleanup off your plate. Some parents-to-be are even opting for Airbnb-inspired baby shower venues<\/a>, where you can rent a stylish space by the hour that perfectly matches the mood of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
