Guess Baby's Due Date - Chalkboard Calendar
If you want a low-key baby shower activity, the "Guess Baby's Due Date" is perfect! Simply purchase a framed chalkboard and some chalkboard markers and have guests write their names on the day they think the baby will be due. The one who comes the closest wins a prize mailed to them when the baby is born!
Baby Shower Tree
I had a baby shower for a friend before I could take my Christmas tree down. I just took off the decorations and replaced them with ribbons, booties, bottles, socks, pacifiers, and a big fluffy bow, in baby colors draped from the top down the sides.
Also, paint clothes pins or use diaper pins and the guests can pin on money.
It was such a fun idea and was raved over.

Baby Diaper Tool Kit
Submitted by Kim from New York
Here is a great twist for a "Baby Diaper Tool Kit"
Instead of a diaper belt for the new father to be, I used a cheap tool box and filled it with the baby stuff. (wipes, diapers, lotion, baby oil, socks, baby brush, diaper rash ointment, etc.)
This way they can re-use the tool box instead of an apron which was brought to my attention they would just throw in a corner.
I didn't take a picture of the diaper tool kit, but found one similar to the one I made - I found it on Pinterest but the link didn't go to a website, so I am not sure of the source.
Diaper Butterflies
Submitted by Wendy from Sumter, SC
To make my diaper butterflies, I first take one diaper (I usually use size one but have had requests for larger ones and did those as well), a baby washcloth, some tulle, and a chenille stem.
I roll the baby washcloth up with the stem folded in half sticking out the top of the washcloth, and then I take four small pieces of ribbon and tie them around the washcloth to keep it secure, and take a long piece of ribbon to tie around the diaper to keep the washcloth (the butterfly's 'body') in place.
The tulle is simply tucked underneath the washcloth 'body', and no glue or tape is used, this way the new Mom can use both the diaper and the washcloth!
When done attaching everything, I just bend the chenille stem to look like antenna and it's all done.

This is a cute idea for baby shower favors!
Simply collect several empty toilet paper rolls (or paper towel rolls cut in half) and fill them with colorful candies.
Then wrap them in cute scrapbook paper (to match the theme of the shower.) Tie the ends with ribbon and you're done! You can even attach a cute little tag saying thanks or giving the shower details.

Baby Advice Book
Submitted by Taylor from Aurora, Illinois
New Baby Advice Book
Before the shower, go to the craft store and buy a scrapbook, or some type of book that you can decorate with pretty paper. (Target, HomeGoods, etc will have pretty journal-type books that would be perfect for this.)
Throughout the shower, pass the book around the room and have the guests write down congratulations, old memories and baby advice on the best ways to help with the baby.
Give to the mom and have her read all of the pages out loud. Fun to hear everybody's advice.
