Let’s be honest — planning a baby shower sounds fun… until you realize you’ve opened 12 different tabs, pinned 40 ideas you’ll never use, and can’t find an invite, sign, or thank-you card that actually match.
I’ve been there.
And I’ve helped enough friends and clients plan their showers to know this truth:
Most baby shower ideas online are either painfully outdated or way too complicated for a busy host.
So if you're in the middle of planning one (or about to be volunteered for it — good luck), let’s talk through how to make it actually feel manageable and beautiful.
The Baby Shower Planning Problem No One Talks About
Throwing a baby shower isn’t just about balloons and cute cupcakes. You’re balancing:
Finding a theme that feels like the mum-to-be (not Pinterest overload)
Coordinating with other hosts or family
Remembering all the little things: the invite, a welcome sign, the thank-you cards, the table decor…
…and ideally, still having a life in the process.
The problem?
Most of us end up:
Spending hours searching for matching designs
Downloading random freebies that don’t quite fit
Piecing together a theme from scratch when we just want it to look cohesive
And even with Canva or Pinterest at your fingertips, it’s still a lot — especially if you’re not a designer or don't have time to create everything from scratch.
What If It Could Be Easier?
What I’ve learned over time (and through my own frustration) is this:
You don’t need 100 options — you need one beautiful, done-for-you set that just works.
That’s exactly why I created a neutral baby shower printable bundle with:
An editable invitation
A matching welcome sign
A drinks menu you can customize for any drink setup
A thank-you card that actually fits the theme
And a soft, watercolor design that feels modern, not overly babyish
It’s simple, it’s clean, and it takes one more thing off your plate.
No clashing colors. No outdated clipart. Just soft tones and natural textures that pair with almost any style — boho, minimalist, gender-neutral, you name it.
If you’re nodding along right now, I’ve got you.

You Deserve to Enjoy the Shower Too
At the end of the day, the baby shower should be meaningful and joyful, not a last-minute scramble.
Let the invites be easy. Let the decor flow. Let your to-do list shrink a little.
Whether you grab my set or DIY your own, just know this: you don’t need to overthink it to make it beautiful.
If this helped you feel a little more grounded about planning, stick around — I’ll be sharing more design shortcuts and templates to help take the stress out of styling your next celebration.
