The Decor

There’s an abundance of inexpensive winter wonderland baby shower decor online – especially with our friends at Etsy and Amazon!

1. Welcome To Winter Wonderland Baby Shower Sign
What’s any baby shower without a welcome sign? A very empty one! One of the important things to remember when hosting your winter wonderland baby shower is how your guests will feel, from start to finish. And that is exactly why a welcome sign is needed – especially when it looks as cute as this one from Etsy. Enjoy!
2. Winter Wonderland Balloon Garland
Okay, so we know balloon garlands are all the craze right now… And we’re so here for them! They are an instant way to dress up a space and are known to drive home a theme better than any other baby shower decor. This is especially true for a winter wonderland baby shower as you’ll need as many extra silver and icy tones to add to your space as possible. Check out this awesome winter wonderland balloon garland from Amazon.
3. Winter Wonderland Snowflake String Lights
We can’t think of a better way to finish off your winter wonderland baby shower decor than with these gorgeous snowflake string lights from Amazon. Their cool icy tones give off the perfect winter wonderland vibe – and they can be reusable for Christmas time, of course! Who doesn’t love a win-win?

4. Did Baby Poopie?
Okay, so we may be a touch on the bias, but our Did Baby Poopie? game is the ultimate icebreaker at any baby shower – winter Wonderland-themed or not! But with its neutral design, it can fit into your wintery theme like nobody’s business. Keen to know how to play? Read on…
Hand out one lottery scratch-off card to each one of your guests and a bowl of loose change, so they can scratch off their ticket to reveal what’s underneath the foil. If any guest reveals a poop emoji, they are instantly a winner and must scream the word, “POOP!” to announce their win. As you’re the host, you get to choose what their prize is.

5. Winter Wonderland Baby Bingo
Fastly becoming the classic go-to baby shower game, baby shower bingo is the way to go! Especially when they’re adorned in these gorgeous winter wonderland-inspired patterns, just like this printable template on Etsy. Much like the original bingo, Baby Shower Bingo is about getting as many correct items on your board. In this case, guests will need to guess five of Momma-to-be’s gifts correctly in a row and they’ll be crowned the winner! Easy-peasy.
6. Winter Wonderland Wishes For Baby
Albeit an entirely different form of entertainment, Wishes For Baby is a wonderful way to connect with your guests at the end of your winter wonderland baby shower – and create some beautiful memories for the baby to come. Simply hand out one of these lovely printable templates from Etsy and ask everyone to fill theirs out. You can choose to read them out together at the end or keep them safe until bubba arrives. Either way, it’s a great way to close your baby shower on a high note.
The Food
When it comes to choosing the food for any baby shower – winter wonderland or not – the best advice we can offer up is to keep it simple. We know there are so many wonderful options out there to try out, but rather stick to what you know – and add a little extra. There is absolutely no need to have 23 styles of cookies – no matter how tasty they look! Remember to try catering to any vegetarian/vegan guests, too. Without further ado, take a look at some of these simple – yet deliciously tasty – winter wonderland baby shower food recipes…
