7 Cute DIYs for a Summer Baby Shower
Jul 22, 2017
The themes, the favors, the desserts. Oh, the joys of a summer baby shower. The weather’s warm and you can throw a fab fete outdoors for your bestie who’s about to pop. Of course, if the temp gets too out of hand, you can always throw a baby-to-be bash indoors. Before you start planning or creating, check out these seven summer baby shower DIYs you can take indoors or out. Even if you’re not a Pinterest pro, these projects are easy to do and will totally take your sunny get-together to the next level.
Cake Pops
Cake pops are super popular DIY treats. Those sugar-packed, frosting-covered treats are easy to make, and you can totally personalize them for any type of shower. Get outdoorsy with a summer garden shower theme and plant the pops in a rustic wooden box that’s filled with greenery. (via Infiniti Sweets/Catch My Party)
Tissue Paper Flowers
Yeah, you’ve got plenty of the real flowers everywhere in your backyard, but it’s way too warm to enjoy a garden party. Bring the summer blooms indoors with crafty tissue paper flowers. Hang them from the ceiling, adorn a buffet table with them, or stack them as centerpieces. (via I Heart Naptime)
Mocktails
The guest of honor can’t down mimosas, so quench her thirst (and everyone else’s) with a fruity summer mocktail. A splash of juice, a hint of seltzer, and some fresh fruit all mixed together will create the perfect warm-weather baby shower beverage. (via Project Nursery)
Rock Photo Holders
Your guests are taking a ton of pics at your summer soiree. They’ve all uploaded them to Instagram and Facebook already, but some may want to print them as keepsakes. Send everyone home with hand-painted rock photo frames. (via One Little Project at a Time)
Melted Ice Cream Cupcakes
The sweltering heat is melting absolutely everything. Don’t disappoint the shower guests with melty ice cream that’s dripping down their hand-dipped cones. Fake them out with party treats that look like hot, drippy cones but are really cute cupcakes. (via Aww Sam)
Baby Shower Bar
Those mocktails you’re blending up won’t serve themselves. Of course, you don’t want to spend the whole shower mixing, pouring, and handing out non-alcoholic drinks. Find a quiet corner and set up a mini bar. Stock it with glass containers filled with your fruit-flavored mocktails, and when guests need an ice-cold beverage, they can pour their own.

Happy Campers Diaper Cake
Ah, the diaper cake. You can’t have a baby shower without one. Host a happy camper-themed shower, and DIY a rustic diaper cake that features faux butterflies and real pinecones. (via I Always Go Overboard/Catch My Party)
