It’s the greatest surprise of them all! A baby.

A beautiful, brand-new baby courtesy of your best friend.

Do you know what this calls for? A surprise baby shower!

Exciting, right? But how in the world will you get it done?

We’re glad you asked.

Here’s everyone you’ll need for a very fun and very successful surprise baby shower.

Prepare Your Guests

Whether you’re hosting at home or somewhere else, you’re gonna want to stay on top of your guest list.

Make it clear to your guests that the mom-to-be’s safety comes first! Prep themed face masks and gloves if you need to as a mandatory ticket to the celebration.

You can end send these in the mail along with your invitations.

Plus: Make sure your party follows your state’s regulations for group gatherings.

Party Details

Time for the fun part! Making everything pretty.

For decorations, work with what you know about your friend. What are some of her favorite colors? 

If the baby’s sex is unknown, or you want to be inclusive and gender-neutral, you can opt-out of the traditional baby blue and pink with some soft shades of: 

• Pastel yellow
• Light green
• Purple

These will keep the mood festive and youthful without adding any pressure or expectation on the mom-to-be.

Now for the food! Finger foods are everything! We’re talking pigs on a blanket, crostinis, bruschetta, and all the hummus dips you can think of.

But also, check-in the mom-to-be to find out what she’s been craving. If pickles with peanut butter have been her life fuel as of late, make sure she get what wants.

And of course, you can’t skip some cupcakes and mocktails!

Don’t Forget the Gifts

If the mom-to-be already has a gift registry, definitely make the most of this.

If she hasn’t made one yet, encourage her to create an Amazon wishlist so you and other guests can bring what she really wants and needs.

And of course, feel free to add on any extra gift with that personal touch she’ll love and appreciate.
