It’s also free for your guests and they don’t need any accounts set up to join. I would strongly recommend using Zoom for your virtual shower as most people are familiar with using this now. This makes for nice pictures and just adds a little dimension to the party. Minted lets you easily customize and personalize your invite.Īlso consider sending your mom-to-be some simple decorations to put up behind her during the virtual shower.
The gift boxes were $5.50 from Target, then I just added plastic champagne flutes (about $1 each), filler material from Dollar Tree, and little bottles of champagne and orange juice. I sent out the invites in the form of these “mom-osa” kits.
It shows that the party is going to be organized and not just some random Zoom call to chitchat. This also makes people feel like this is a party they won’t want to miss. Make it feel more “real” by doing something tangible to prep for the invite. Because these parties are virtual, it’s hard for folks to get excited about it. I have a very comprehensive baby registry checklist here in case she needs ideas! Build up the anticipation with a physical invite and party kit! Include a short link (vanity URL) to your mom-to-be’s registry if you’d like. They also are more likely to forget about the event as it gets closer to the date. I wouldn’t send it out much earlier than that, as people aren’t often planning their schedules much further ahead than that timeframe. Send out your invites 3-4 weeks ahead of time. I actually ended up choosing this by browsing baby shower invite cards for inspiration (check out Minted or Zazzle for the best ones) and picking one that I could build off of and do some interesting things around. I ended up going with a “mom-osa” brunch theme (a play on the word “mimosa” if that wasn’t obvious). It’s much easier to pick decor and games and things if you limit your choices to ones that fit your theme. Pick a theme.Ī theme brings the overall party together, but it also helps you make decisions. If you are inviting a lot of moms with young kids, afternoon nap time when the little kids are asleep could be another good timeslot. For this particular baby sprinkle I hosted, I picked Sunday around brunch time as it was fitting with my theme. You should plan for roughly 1 to 1.5 hours but no longer than that. Sundays seem to work well as Saturdays are when a lot of families typically have other plans scheduled, while Sundays seem to be more free, based on my experience. In many ways, this can actually be a unique, budget-friendly way to celebrate a mom-to-be! Here are my tips on how to throw a great virtual baby shower or virtual baby sprinkle.
Having to shelter in place doesn’t mean you can’t have or host a baby shower.
