1. Merry Little Baby Shower Invitation Template
This full-page invitation is generously designed with a scalloped lace border, hand-drawn holly sprigs, a satin ribbon bow at the top, and a central evergreen wreath motif — nothing sparse about it.
Inside the wreath sits the headline You’re Invited to a Merry Little Baby Shower in elegant script, followed by five clearly labelled blank lines: Honoring: ______, Date: ______, Time: ______, Address: ______, and RSVP to: ______.
You can write directly on the printed card with a fine-tip pen, or upload it to Canva and type the details in before printing.
- Print on 110 lb cardstock for a stiff, gift-worthy feel.
- Use a fine-tip gold or black ink pen to fill in the blank lines by hand.
- Or open the file in Canva, type the details, then print at home or at your local print shop.
2. Welcome Sign — ‘Welcome to a Merry Little Baby Shower’
This full-page welcome sign prints and hangs exactly as it is — no editing needed, no names, no dates.
It reads Welcome to a Merry Little Baby Shower in a large, sweeping calligraphy script surrounded by an ornate illustrated border of pressed evergreen sprigs, cranberry-red holly berries, and delicate gold ornament baubles.
Prop it in a frame at the entrance or lean it on a mantle and it does all the work for you.
- Print at 8×10 inches and drop it into a ready-made frame — instant statement sign.
- No editing or Canva required; the sign works for any host and any guest of honour.
3. Party Sign — Diaper Raffle
Place this on your gift table next to a basket so guests see it the moment they arrive — it explains the raffle clearly without you having to repeat yourself twelve times.
The sign reads Diaper Raffle at the top and then carries the instruction: Bring a pack of diapers, get a raffle ticket! The more packs you bring, the more chances you have to win. A thick scalloped border, a hand-drawn candy cane bow, and tiny evergreen sprigs tie it visually to the rest of the pack.
- Bold ‘Diaper Raffle’ headline in calligraphy script.
- Instruction text explaining the raffle entry rule.
- Ornate candy cane bow and evergreen sprig illustration.
- Scalloped border matching the full pack style.
4. Party Sign — Hot Cocoa Bar
Set this behind your cocoa station and your guests will know exactly what’s on offer the second they walk over. It reads Hot Cocoa Bar in warm calligraphy with a charming hand-drawn mug illustration steaming gently beneath the headline — cozy, not cartoon-y.
The same ornate border treatment as every other sign in the pack keeps it looking like a set.
- Print on matte cardstock and laminate if you’re placing it near a drinks station.
- Pair with small handwritten labels for toppings like crushed candy cane, cinnamon, and mini marshmallows.
5. Party Sign — Mistletoe and Mocktails
This sign lives at your drinks table and honestly it’s one of the most photographed spots at any holiday baby shower — people can’t resist the name. It reads Mistletoe and Mocktails in elegant calligraphy above a hand-drawn illustration of a tied mistletoe bunch and two delicate champagne-flute silhouettes. It’s festive, a little cheeky, and mom-to-be approved.
- ‘Mistletoe and Mocktails’ calligraphy headline.
- Hand-drawn mistletoe bunch with ribbon tie illustration.
- Two delicate flute glass silhouette accents.
- Full ornate border in the pack’s shared style.
6. Party Sign — Cards and Gifts
Pop this on the gift table so guests know where to drop their cards and presents without having to ask. It reads Cards and Gifts in a large calligraphy headline above an illustrated stack of wrapped gift boxes tied with ribbon bows and a scatter of envelopes. Clean, elegant, and completely on-theme for a Christmas baby shower.
- Place in a small easel frame right on the gift table for easy visibility.
- No editing needed — works as-is for any guest of honour.
7. Party Sign — Bring a Book for Baby
This is one of my favourite alternatives to a traditional card — guests bring an inscribed book instead, and baby ends up with a whole library.
The sign reads Bring a Book for Baby with the sub-line Skip the card and sign a book instead — a gift that lasts a lifetime! and a sweet hand-drawn open book illustration centred beneath it.
- ‘Bring a Book for Baby’ calligraphy headline.
- Encouraging sub-line text already printed on the sign.
- Hand-drawn open book with holly sprig illustration.
- Coordinating ornate border.
8. Party Sign — Wishes for Baby
Place this beside a small basket of blank wish cards (the matching game sheet further down in this pack works perfectly) and guests can write their hopes for the little one.
The sign reads Wishes for Baby in calligraphy above a glowing illustrated lantern and a sprinkle of tiny stars — like a little wish being sent out into the world, tbh.
- Pair this sign with the ‘Wishes for Baby’ game card sheet printed later in this pack.
- Set out a small basket and fine-tip pens so guests can fill in their cards on the spot.
9. Party Sign — Ornament for Baby
This one is such a lovely keepsake activity — guests sign and date a plain ornament so baby has a whole tree’s worth of memories from day one. The sign reads Ornament for Baby with the sub-line Sign an ornament for the tree — baby will hang it every Christmas! and a cluster of illustrated vintage glass ornaments below.
- ‘Ornament for Baby’ calligraphy headline.
- Instruction sub-line text already printed on the sign.
- Cluster of three hand-drawn vintage glass ornament illustrations.
- Full coordinating ornate border.
10. Party Sign — Guest Book
A simple, gorgeous sign to sit beside your guest book or a stack of cards — it reads Guest Book in sweeping calligraphy above an illustrated quill pen and open journal motif. It’s understated and elegant, exactly right for a small, intimate gathering where every signature genuinely matters.
- Frame it and lean it against a stack of hardcover books for an instant styled station.
- Works with any guest book format — a blank journal, a printed keepsake book, or even a matted photo frame.
11. Party Sign — Guess the Baby’s Birth Date
This sign doubles as an interactive station — it reads Guess the Baby’s Birth Date! at the top and then has fifteen numbered blank lines beneath it so guests can write their name and their guess directly on the sign (or on a slip of paper beside it).
It’s always the most argued-over spot at the party, which honestly is half the fun.
- ‘Guess the Baby’s Birth Date!’ calligraphy headline.
- 15 numbered blank guest lines with ‘Name:’ and ‘Guess:’ labels beside each.
- Ornate border and illustrated calendar-and-star accent.
- No example dates or names anywhere on the sheet.
12. Cupcake Toppers — Set of 4
One A4 sheet holds exactly four identical circular cupcake toppers, each about 2 inches in diameter, arranged in a neat 2×2 grid with thin cut lines around every circle and even margins on all sides.
Each topper features the text Merry Little Baby in calligraphy script encircled by a hand-drawn wreath of holly, tiny ornaments, and evergreen sprigs. Print, cut, and pop onto a toothpick — done.
- Print on white cardstock at 100% scale — do not scale to fit.
- Cut along the thin printed cut lines with small scissors or a craft punch.
- Tape to a toothpick or wooden skewer back-to-back for a clean double-sided look.
13. Place Cards — Set of 4
One A4 sheet holds exactly four identical tent-style place cards arranged in a 2×2 grid with thin cut lines and even margins — fold each in half along the centre crease once cut.
Every card has a small illustrated holly sprig at the top and a single blank underlined line labelled Name: in the centre, which the host fills in by hand or in Canva before printing. Your guests will thank you for actually making seating feel intentional.
- Print on 80–100 lb cardstock for cards that stand firmly when folded.
- Fill in each ‘Name:’ line with a fine-tip pen after cutting.
- Score along the fold line with a bone folder before folding for a crisp result.
14. Thank-You Cards — Set of 4
One A4 sheet holds exactly four identical flat thank-you cards in a 2×2 grid with thin cut lines and even margins — A6 size each, ready to tuck into an envelope.
The front of each card reads Thank You for Celebrating Our Merry Little One in script above a wreath illustration, and the interior (printed on the reverse) has a blank underlined line labelled Dear: followed by lined writing space and a closing line reading With love, ______.
The host fills in the guest name by hand — sweet, personal, and actually gets sent.
- Print double-sided: front on one pass, flip and print the interior on the second pass.
- A6 envelopes fit these cards perfectly — grab a pack of 25 before your party.
- Fill in the ‘Dear:’ line and the closing signature by hand after the shower.
15. Printable Menu Card
This full-page menu card is designed for the food table — it features a decorative header reading Today’s Menu in calligraphy and then two columns of blank underlined lines with small section labels: Starters & Bites, Mains & Sides, Sweet Treats, and Drinks.
Think cranberry brie bites, mini quiches, a winter Caprese, gingerbread cake, and whatever else you’re serving — write it in by hand or edit in Canva before printing.
For gifting ideas that double as party favours, the 2025 Christmas Gift Guide has some genuinely lovely small-gift ideas worth browsing.
- ‘Today’s Menu’ calligraphy headline.
- Four labelled sections with blank underlined lines: Starters and Bites, Mains and Sides, Sweet Treats, Drinks.
- Ornate holly and evergreen border matching the full pack.
- No example menu items — host fills in by hand or in Canva.
16. Recipe Card — Cranberry Rosemary Sparkling Mocktail
This is the showstopper drink of the shower — ruby-red, sparkling, and completely alcohol-free so absolutely everyone at the table can clink glasses. The recipe card follows the full illustrated infographic format below.
- Makes a beautiful mocktail that photographs gorgeously in tall glasses with a sprig of fresh rosemary.
- Make the cranberry syrup the day before to save time on the day of the shower.
17. Recipe Card — Mulled Spiced Apple Cider
Warm, spiced, and smelling absolutely incredible — this is the drink that makes your whole gathering feel like a Christmas film in the best possible way. Keep a slow cooker full of it on a low setting all afternoon and watch it disappear.
- Double the batch and keep it warm in a slow cooker set to ‘low’ throughout the shower.
- Set out cinnamon sticks as stirrers for an effortless finishing touch.
18. Recipe Card — Mini Gingerbread Cheesecakes
Individual, no-fuss, and wildly impressive for the effort involved — these mini cheesecakes have a gingerbread biscuit base and a vanilla cream cheese top with a dusting of cinnamon. Make them the evening before and refrigerate overnight; the day-of you just plate and serve.
- Make the night before the shower and refrigerate — they set even better overnight.
- Top each one with a single fresh cranberry or a tiny sprig of mint just before serving.
19. Game 1 — Merry Little Baby Trivia
This trivia sheet has 12 questions blending Christmas and baby knowledge — think facts about famous Christmas babies, holiday traditions, and newborn trivia — with a detachable answer key at the bottom separated by a dashed cut line.
Hand one to each guest, set a two-minute timer, and the highest score wins a little prize (or just bragging rights, which is honestly enough).
- 12 trivia questions mixing Christmas and baby themes.
- Answer key printed at the bottom of the same sheet, separated by a dashed cut line.
- Guest name line at the top for scoring purposes.
- Score tally box in the bottom corner.
20. Game 2 — Christmas Carol Fill-in-the-Blank
Guests get one line from ten classic Christmas carols with one word blanked out — they fill in the missing word from memory (harder than it sounds after two mocktails, tbh). The answer key is printed on a separate strip at the bottom behind a dashed cut line that the host tears off before handing out the sheets.
- 10 classic Christmas carol lines, each missing one key word.
- Blank space clearly marked with a long underline for the missing word.
- Detachable answer key strip at the bottom separated by a dashed cut line.
- Name line at the top for scoring.
21. Game 3 — Baby Bingo
Each guest gets one bingo card with a 5×5 grid of illustrated baby-gift squares — things like nappy cream, baby monitor, tiny socks, muslin cloth, and a rattle — and marks them off as the mum-to-be opens her presents.
The FREE space in the centre says Baby’s First Christmas! Print multiple copies (each card has a slightly randomised grid order) so you can hand one to every guest.
- Print one card per guest — the grid order varies between prints so there’s a real winner.
- Provide pennies, dried cranberries, or small sticker dots as markers.
- The game ends when someone shouts ‘Merry!’ instead of ‘Bingo!’
22. Game 4 — Wishes for Baby Cards
One A4 sheet holds four identical wish cards in a 2×2 grid with thin cut lines — guests cut them apart, fill them in, and the host keeps them in baby’s keepsake box.
Each card has five illustrated prompts: My wish for you is…, I hope you always…, The best thing about Christmas is…, A piece of advice for your life…, and Signed: ______ with blank underlined lines after each prompt.
These are the cards that make mum cry (in the best way).
- 4 identical wish cards per A4 sheet with thin cut lines.
- 5 illustrated fill-in prompts per card.
- Blank underlined lines for all answers — no example text.
- Pairs perfectly with the ‘Wishes for Baby’ party sign.
23. Game 5 — Advice for Mom Cards
Same format as the Wishes cards: one A4 sheet with four identical cards in a 2×2 grid and thin cut lines, this time with advice prompts aimed at the mum-to-be.
Prompts include The best nap advice I can give…, Stock up on…, Don’t stress about…, Call me any time for…, and From: ______. Lightly funny, genuinely useful, and the kind of thing she’ll re-read at 3am with a newborn.
- Perfect icebreaker for mixed groups — everyone has something to say.
- Collect all cards in a small box or envelope as a keepsake gift for mum.
24. Game 6 — Christmas Baby Emoji Pictionary
Twelve rows of emoji combinations represent either a Christmas carol or a baby-related phrase — guests decode each one and write their answer on the blank line beside it.
The answer key is at the bottom behind a dashed cut line the host tears off before handing out sheets. (Fair warning: emoji 4 is genuinely tricky and causes mild table arguments, which is the whole point.)
- 12 emoji combination rows mixing Christmas carols and baby phrases.
- Blank answer line beside each emoji row.
- Detachable answer key at the bottom separated by a dashed cut line.
- Name line at the top for scoring.
25. Game 7 — Price Is Right: Baby Edition
Guests see ten illustrated baby items and write down what they think each one costs — closest without going over wins (just like the actual show, which is more stressful than it sounds when you’ve never bought a baby monitor before).
The sheet lists item names with small illustrations and a blank price box beside each one, plus a total cost tally at the bottom.
- Before the shower, look up the real retail prices and write them on your answer key copy.
- Reveal prices out loud one by one for maximum drama — guests love groaning at nappy prices.
26. Game 8 — Would Mommy Rather?
Guests circle which option they think mum-to-be would choose from 12 festive this-or-that pairings — things like Newborn in December vs. newborn in July, Matching family Christmas pyjamas vs. solo baby photos, and Babywearing vs. pram.
After everyone has guessed, mum reveals her real answers and the guest with the most matches wins. How well do you really know the mum-to-be?
- 12 themed this-or-that pairings combining Christmas and baby life.
- Two clearly labelled options per row with a circle beside each.
- Score tally box at the bottom.
- Name line at the top.
27. Game 9 — Old Wives’ Tales: Boy or Girl?
This sheet lists 12 classic old wives’ tales about predicting a baby’s sex — guests tick Boy or Girl for each one and tally up their totals at the bottom to make their final prediction.
It’s completely unscientific, wildly fun, and always sparks a round of storytelling from the grandmas in the room.
Speaking of new arrivals and the magic of birth timing, The Secret Language of Birth Month Flowers is a lovely read to share with the mum-to-be after the shower.
- 12 classic old wives’ tales listed as clear statements.
- ‘Boy’ and ‘Girl’ tick boxes beside each tale.
- Tally boxes at the bottom for total Boy and Girl predictions.
- Final prediction line: ‘I predict a…’ with a blank underline.
28. Game 10 — Guess How Many Candy Canes?
Fill a clear glass jar with candy canes before the shower — guests write their name and their guess on this sheet, and whoever gets closest wins the jar (plus a sugar rush that lasts until January).
The sheet has 20 numbered guest entry lines each with Name: ____ and Guess: ____ side by side, and a winner announcement box at the bottom for the host to fill in.
And if you’re still searching for the perfect little gift for a winner’s prize bag, the What to Buy Parents for Christmas guide has some beautifully practical ideas.
- Print one copy and post it beside the jar for guests to fill in as they arrive.
- Count the candy canes the day before the shower so you know the answer.
- The winner takes home the jar — add a ribbon for an instant party favour.
