1. Eye-Catching Invitations: The whole vibe of your baby shower starts well in advance of your date. Nailing the invite design will ensure your shower gets prime placement on the fridge, and might even get some play on social media.
2. Welcome Signage: Set the tone of the party and direct people where to enter with an easel welcome sign. To really sweeten the deal, decorate the space with some stuffed animals or decorations (like this adorable bunny).
3. “Mom-osa” Bar: Add punny signage to your lineup of various mixers and fruits for the best mimosa bar yet. Use a variety of colors and juices to make the photos pop and be sure to include some fun labels for that necessary finishing touch.
4. Dessert Table Signage: Speaking of punny signage, including a pretty sign behind the dessert table will take the ‘grammable factor to the next level. Try to stick with a general color scheme to make the palette super photo ready.
