having a baby shower during covid? this year has brought many changes and it has been difficult to find ways to celebrate important milestones like a new addition to the family. don’t worry, hosting a baby shower during covidis possible, but hosts and moms should take every precaution to keep themselves and their loved ones safe.
safety tips for baby showers during covid
Follow these tips for a calm and safe baby shower during covid:
: Always follow CDC social distancing guidelines, which includes reserving things for a small gathering.
: Opt for online baby shower invitations over printed ones—they’re less expensive, require less work, and are easier to adapt to any change in plans.
— speaking of which, it’s nice to have a way to message guests efficiently.
: When in doubt, virtual baby showers are a great alternative to an in-person event, as are any of the following social distancing baby shower ideas during COVID.
outdoor baby shower
Ideal for spring and summer when the weather is nice, host an outdoor drinking and viewing event or an outdoor baby shower in a beautiful, lush garden, either from a friend or a rented venue. If you want to have an activity, guests can also arrange flower bouquets or decorate clay pots if you prefer it to be a more rustic baby shower theme. As a baby shower favor, provide everyone with a packet of seeds that they can plant in their own garden, even if that garden is a simple potted variety on the windowsill.
social distancing baby shower ideas
Certainly, people have gotten creative in coming up with ways to socialize and celebrate the past year. Fortunately for parents-to-be, that includes quarantine baby shower ideas.

drive by baby shower
honk the horn for the baby! If the mom-to-be doesn’t want a virtual shower (but she still wants to stay safe and healthy), a drive-in baby shower (also known as a drive-in baby shower) may be the perfect alternative. Mom can safely drink tea or cocoa while she is masked and distanced in the driveway or on the lawn, while friends and family pass by and greet her from a distance. To properly shower the expectant parents, she encourages guests at the Car Baby Shower Invitation to add balloons to their car and leave their gifts.
drop and run
Speaking of leaving gifts, you can organize a group tour to leave gifts at the end of the driveway (or driveway). pull up to the driveway, look at mom and her belly, and blow her a kiss from a distance (mask on, please).

To limit crowding, stagger guests by giving different people specific time slots. You should still encourage guests to wear masks, but this way you can spend some quality time with friends and family by focusing your attention on just a couple of people at a time.
outdoor baby shower
outdoors, open house. Since celebrating outdoors is the safest way to socialize, invite people to shower in your garden or terrace. make it an open house so everyone doesn’t have to be there at the same time: if they wow guests, it will limit the crowd. Don’t you have everyone’s emails? text flyer invitations with instant rsvp tracking.

A virtual baby shower is a great (and safe) way to have a baby shower during quarantine. Wondering what one does at a virtual baby shower? To make a virtual baby shower more fun, choose baby shower games that can easily fit into your broadcast setup. Some of our favorite virtual baby shower games include:
Place your bets: Have everyone write down their guesses about the baby (eye color, hair color, height, weight, date and time of birth). when the baby arrives, announce the winners with a virtual sip and see.
zoom baby shower pop quiz: play trivia with a list of questions about the parent(s)-to-be.
Crib Tour: If your group isn’t the “game” type, skip the co-ed baby shower games and have mom or dad take a virtual tour of the nursery.
