Fun ideas for your baby shower & baby sprinkle!
January 6, 2022
You are pregnant and already thinking about organizing your maternity party or baby shower. You have a few ideas, but how do you make it something fun?
the difference between Maternity Party and Baby Shower
First and foremost: some people wonder what the difference is between a maternity party and a baby shower. The big difference lies in the timing of the event. The baby shower is celebrated a few weeks before the birth, and the maternity party after the birth. Naturally, the mom gets a bit more attention at the baby shower, and the baby is the star of the maternity party. If you're a real party-goer and can't get enough of parties, you might also consider a Gender Reveal: an event where you reveal the gender of your baby.
Playing games?
The time of playing games and quizzes at a maternity party or baby shower is definitely over. Nowadays, it can be fancy, unexpected, and extra amusing. Photos are taken at both occasions as memories for later. Combine the useful with the pleasant and go for the baby shower photobooth! We will show you 4 ways to use a photobooth at your maternity party/baby shower!
Go for suitable props and backgrounds
A photobooth naturally has a great attraction, but props add extra fun! Above all, this can be done "on a budget" too! Choose our Do it SelfieBox Mini. Thanks to this budget-friendly photobooth, you can choose extra fun suitable props or backgrounds.
What about:
- fun cutouts with phrases like "mommy to be"? Funny phrases and original cutouts always score!
- balloons so your guests can appear pregnant in the photo themselves? Fun guaranteed with this tip: the little child in your guests comes out again!
- a custom photo frame with the baby's name?
- a chalkboard where guests can write a message to be photographed with?
- a beautiful background with a balloon arch?
2. Wishful Images
Go for a baby shower or christening party like in fairy tales. Do you remember Sleeping Beauty's christening party? Where every fairy could make a wish for the newborn baby? Let each of your guests express a wish or advice for your baby and keep these images until he or she is 18 years old. You can't give a better gift for an 18th birthday! Our Do It SelfieBox Social is perfect for this! With this photobooth, you can not only take photos but also make gifs and videos.
No one will ignore this photobooth, and it will be used to its fullest. Friends and family members are happy to share their best wishes with you, but also moms and dads who have had children for a while will be reminded of that beautiful "baby time" and will want to pass on a touching message.
Would you also like to treat your guests to a memory? Then ask for the upgrade so they can take a photo and take a print home.
We also give you this tip if you'd rather not have a witch at your christening party like in Sleeping Beauty... make sure you choose a nice mother-in-law.
3. Baby Shower Bets!
Make it a little competition and capture every guess on camera. You can also use our Do It SelfieBox Social for this. Let your guests guess the gender, name, date, time of birth, weight... of the baby and capture it on photo or video! With a whiteboard or chalkboard, you can easily record their guess on photo.
4. Personalized Photobooth
Would you rather not use the photobooth for bets or wish videos, but only to take photos or videos? Then we can provide it with a personalized start animation with the photo or name of your baby, or with a photo of the happy mom and dad with a big belly. Dad's belly will probably be without a baby.
Organizing a christening party or baby shower... Let's make it a blast
