Gone are the days of pastel pink and blue baby showers. In recent years, the big trend in baby showers has taken on a more polished, sophisticated flair. Whether it’s a soft boho chic style, or a strong stripe with vibrant flowers, this is a trend that’s sure to hang around. This week we’re sharing some of our favorite ideas. And as a big Thank You to our friends, we are offering 20% off on all of our digital invitations. See the end of the post for details 🙂

Invitation Inserts
Another popular trend for baby showers are diaper raffles, to help the new mom stock up ahead of baby’s arrival, and book requests in lieu of a traditional greeting card.
When my family planned my first baby shower, they included a book request card in my invitations. It was such a lovely surprise, and by the end of the shower, my daughter already had a substantial library of classic children’s books that she still reads today!
Diaper Raffle cards are a great way to help the new parents AND do something fun for guests. Diaper Raffle Cards and Book Request Cards are available in multiple styles at www.foreveryourprints.etsy.com
Diaper Cakes
Diaper cakes are a time honored tradition. Part fun center piece, part practical gift, they are a welcome part of any baby shower. We found a few beauties on Pinterest that we wanted to share!
I’ve seen a lot of diaper cakes in my day, but I’ve never seen one with the look of a fondant cake like this one from sweetaprils.com! What a great way to incorporate baby blankets into the traditional diaper cake.
Check out HomemadeByJill for a great tutorial so you can make this beauty yourself.

What’s a baby shower without a few tasty indulgences? We found some gorgeous floral themed treats that will wow your guests!
These beauties were created by Cookies by Kerri.
These are cupcakes! Can you believe it?! This gorgeous work of art was created by The Strand Cakery in Cornwall, England.
