Baby Shower for Mom and the Ladies: A Girly Gathering to Remember

Why a Ladies-Only Baby Shower Is Still a Vibe

You know what’s magical? A Sunday afternoon filled with laughter, tea, and baby talk—with no boys allowed. Yep, the classic girls-only baby shower still rocks. Sure, co-ed baby showers and backyard BBQs are fun too (we love including the dads), but there’s something special about just us gals celebrating new life with pink punch and stories that make you tear up and laugh at the same time.

Make It a Girlie Affair, Start to Finish

Let’s be honest—when it’s just the ladies, you can go full-on feminine with your theme. Think floral teacups, pastel tablecloths, and enough lace to make Grandma proud. So, what’s on the girlish checklist? Here’s how you make this baby shower unforgettable:

• Tea and Cake: Break out the pretty china. Serve petit fours, macarons, and delicate sandwiches. And yes—pinky fingers up!

• Decor Galore: Lace doilies, baby pink balloons, and floral centerpieces. Make it look like a Pinterest board came to life.

• British Charm: Want to add a twist? Throw in some fake British accents for giggles. “Would you like a cuppa, love?”

Let Everyone Be Pregnant (Sort of)

Here’s a hilarious idea: ask all the guests to come “pregnant.” Just stuff a pillow under your shirt and strut in like you're due any second. It’s silly, sure—but it levels the playing field and makes for some seriously good laughs.

Have a prize ready for the most convincing bump—just not for the real mama-to-be. (She’s already won the big prize, right?)

Story Time: The Real, The Funny, and The Wild

Now’s your chance to let it all out. Ask each guest to share a birth story—whether it’s their own or one passed down by their mom. You won’t believe the stuff people have gone through! From water breaking at the grocery store to pushing for 20 hours—there’s no shortage of drama and comedy.

These stories bond everyone in the room. They remind us how strong women are—and that it’s okay to laugh at the chaos, too.

Decor With a Dose of Humor

Want to get creative and crack everyone up? Hang up some giant maternity bras and undies as decorations! Seriously, you can even gift them to the mom-to-be afterward if they’re her size.

This kind of playful touch is what makes these showers feel so personal and warm—and it gives everyone something to giggle about.

Games That Only Girls Will Play

This is the kind of stuff you can’t do when the guys are around. Baby shower games are a blast when it’s just the ladies. Here are a few you’ll love:

• Guess Mommy’s Weight (be kind!)

• Paint Her Belly: Yup, get artsy and turn that bump into a canvas.

• Baby Bottle Bowling: Because why not?

• Crafting Corner: Matching tees for mom and baby, or decorating onesies.

Ask everyone to bring their favorite baby shower game ideas. You’ll be amazed at the fun, goofy stuff that pops up.

Keep It Light: Share Stories, Not Shade

One golden rule? No husband bashing. Seriously, we’re all here to support Mom, not stress her out. But sure—tell that hilarious story about your partner stopping for coffee while you were timing contractions every three minutes.

Keep the stories funny, real, and reassuring. That way, your mama-to-be leaves smiling, not stressing.

Girlie Drinks? Oh Yes!

Okay, so Mom can’t have the real deal—but that doesn’t mean the rest of you can’t. Make non-alcoholic versions for her and the other moms-to-be. Think strawberry daiquiris, pink lemonade spritzers, or tropical mocktails. Top with umbrellas and slices of lime for that vacation feel.

Add a drink station where guests can mix their own fruity flavors. It’s fun, interactive, and super Instagram-worthy.

Wrap It All in Love and Laughter

At the end of the day, this baby shower is all about making the mama-to-be feel cherished. She’s about to start the most incredible chapter of her life, and what better way to celebrate that than with a room full of women who love her?

So go ahead—decorate wildly, laugh loudly, and toast (with mocktails) to new beginnings. Whether it's your best friend, your sister, or even you who's expecting—make the day one to remember.

How do you imagine your perfect baby shower? All girlie glam, or laid-back and full of laughs? Either way, don’t forget—this is about love. Everything else is just the icing on the cake.
