Your baby shower wishlist.

It might be helpful for the expecting mama to put together a wish list for her guests. It’s important to express, either in a wish list, registry or conversation, with her guests about her needs.

If you’d like to build a wish list, Adobe Express makes it easy to do so. Piggyback off the design used for your invitation and turn it into an itemised list with some of your requested items. You can send your wish list by post with your invite or email to guests upon receiving their RSVP. If you have a registry, you can also add the link on your wish list.

Tips on planning a baby shower.

Choose a theme.
Deciding on a theme for a baby shower is helpful as it serves as a guide to refer back to as you make the rest of your planning and room decisions. Our templates feature theme ideas to help you to get inspired if you’re unsure where to start. Our designs are also versatile, so if you have a theme in mind with no design to match, you can adjust colours, design elements and upload your own graphics and photos to create printed paper goods that showcase your customised theme.
Invite your guests.
Nail down the details as soon as possible to let your guests know when and where you’d like them to come to celebrate the shower. Make sure that you include who’s the host, who’s the mama, where the shower is being held and when to come. Show off your theme and any other personal details that will get your guests excited for the wonderful day. Don’t forget RSVP information. Send your invites digitally or download and print to send in the mail.
Plan your party agenda.
Baby showers are a great opportunity for special activities unique to the occasion. There are countless types of games, crafts and activities to inspire joy and laughter with your guests. If you plan to play games that involve paper goods, design your print-outs for free with Adobe Express. Break up any games with a meal or light bites and use Adobe Express to make your menu for your guests to know what they have to look forward to. Print out room for free with your themed designs, along with other favours such as name tags or small cards for guests to write Advice for the Mama-to-be.
Top it off with party favours.
Rather than putting together a goodie bag full of extraneous knick-knacks, think about gifting one special item that will serve a longer and more fulfilling purpose. Tack on a customised tag using your Adobe Express design skills for a personalised touch to your gift.
