1. Winter Wonderland Theme
Embrace the magic of winter with a Winter Wonderland theme. We love this ‘Winter Wonderland’ banner and go all out with snowflake garlands, snowflake confetti and snowflake tablecloths.
Your guests will love a cup of hot cocoa, warm cider and winter wonderland treats like snowflake cookies and cakes.
2. Get cozy!
We love this simple but cozy idea. Create a cozy and inviting atmosphere at home with lots of blankets, pillows and soft, warm fairy lighting. Ask guests to come dressed in their coziest clothes, like sweaters, big jumpers and even pajamas!
Serve the most comforting of comfort foods, like soups, chili and hot cocoa. You could even have a movie party, complete with s’mores!
3. Hot Chocolate Bar
We love this hot chocolate bar idea for a cozy winter baby shower. Set up a hot chocolate bar with a variety of toppings like whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate chips, and flavored syrups. Guests of all ages will love creating a unique hot chocolate and getting comfy cozy! Make it competitive with a ‘best hot chocolate’ competition! The mom-to-be can choose the winner of the ‘most creative’ hot chocolate!
You could also serve other warming drinks like coffee, tea and warm cider.
4. New Year’s Baby
Who says New Year’s parties are just for the 31st of December? If you’re celebrating a January baby shower, recreate a New Year’s eve party with all things black, gold and luxurious! We love these star garlands and these black and gold metallic paper lanterns are perfect for creating New Year vibes!
Serve New Year party food and champagne (non-alcoholic for the mom-to-be, of course) and you could even add pink or blue edible glitter if you know what gender the baby will be!
Show New Year films like ‘When Harry Met Sally’ and ‘New Year’s Eve’, and celebrate the imminent arrival of your winter baby!
5. Let it go!
We couldn’t write a roundup of the best January baby shower themes without including ‘Frozen’. No matter what the age of your guests, they’ll love a Frozen-themed shower, featuring icy decor, fun Elsa-themed sweet treats and even a sing-along to ‘Let It Go’!
We love these holographic snowflakes and magical snowflake tablecloths. And all guests, regardless of their age, will enjoy blowing bubbles with these mini snowflake bubble wands.
When it comes to food, you can’t get better than Frozen-themed cupcakes and icy blue punch. And after all that sugar, guests will have plenty of energy to blast out a rendition of “Let It Go”!
6. Baby, It’s Cold Outside
Depending on where you live (and just how cold it is in January!), throw a ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ baby shower indoors or outdoors. If you’re planning an al fresco shower, you might need a patio heater and plenty of blankets for guests. We love these outdoor lights to make your space look super fancy.
Ask family and friends to don their snuggliest coats, scarves and gloves, so they can stay toasty! And serve winter warmers at an outdoor January baby shower, like chilis and soups.
And if it happens to snow on the day of your baby shower, both the adults and children at your baby shower will love a good old snowman-making contest!
Conclusion
A January baby shower is the perfect opportunity to combine warmth, joy, and seasonal magic, for a celebration the mom-to-be and her guests will never forget. Whether you choose a cozy gathering or a sparkling winter wonderland, these ideas are special enough to celebrate the imminent arrival of your little one.
Embrace the wintery vibes, indulge in warming treats, and enjoy the laughter and love of family and friends. So wrap up warm, let your creativity shine, and get ready to welcome your brand new baby in style!
