Where beach vibes meet a sweet celebration of new life. Incorporating the beach into a baby shower has been a longtime tradition. Think of this as a vintage spin on a classic. Surfing at it’s finest.
Imagine The Beach Boys playing in the background, palm trees swaying, and waves crashing all around. No matter what time of year it is you are transported to a sunny beach where the warm rays are shining on your face. Sounds like paradise to me!

Baby on Board Invitation
This theme is perfect for year-round celebrations. I mean who really couldn’t use tropical inspiration to warm up the dead of winter? Using traditional boy blues, but with muted tones to adhere to a more neutral theme.

Invitation Inserts
Two popular inserts that can be included with the invitations when sent out are; diaper raffle tickets and books for baby requests.
Diaper Raffles
Diaper raffles are a great way to stock the parents-to-be with a large supply of diapers. Not to mention the raffle aspect allows the attendees to expect some fun giveaways. Win, win!
Just remember not to forget the raffle prize! Hand soap, candles, or a special sentiment to the parents passions are always winners, pun intended!
Books for Baby
Gaining a lot of popularity in the past few years, is requesting for guests to bring books instead of cards. This helps kickstart baby’s first library.
Cards are great but, let’s be honest, they usually end up in the trash. Why not give something that will last longer and carry more meaning for the parents and baby-to-be.
Address The Envelope
One of my favorite ideas to share with hosts. Set up a table when guests arrive to have them fill out their addresses on the thank you card envelopes. This simple act will save the parents-to-be precious time in getting the thank you cards back out to their guests before the little one arrives.
Games
Fill in the Blank Cards
Predictions and advice cards are always a sweet touch that the parents-to-be can enjoy for days following the shower. Guests love giving their feedback and having it in written form makes it all the more meaningful.
Interactive Games
Make your party a smashing hit with some fun interactive games. Depending on the mom-to-be’s personality or your own you can choose games that are group activities or more do at your own pace.
Choose a couple and there will be no lull’s in the party. The introverted guests will thank you for something to occupy them in overwhelming moments 😉
Favors
The final touch to a perfect party theme, guest favors! Bonus points if the favor incorporates something special about the growing family or that ties directly into the theme itself.
Takeaway
“Baby on Board” is a fun way to celebrate the upcoming baby in your loved one’s life. With such a cute theme there are small touches like invitation inserts, games, and favors that will truly bring the party to life.
To receive weekly party and travel inspiration to your email I invite you to join my party. My biggest joy is to inspire a life well lived.
