“Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.”
It is the moment you have been waiting for! You are nearing the end of your pregnancy journey and you are ready to be showered and celebrate this special time alongside your family, friends and loved ones. But then you remember we are still in a worldwide pandemic, and the magical moment you might have envisioned as an expectant mama doesn’t seem so possible.
There is no need to worry! You can still host a magical baby shower with memories that you’ll treasure for a lifetime. How She Told Him provides ideas, stories, support, and resources that can help inspire you when deciding what to do to safely celebrate this special milestone.
It is 2020 – and this year has been an unpredictable one. Unfortunately many anticipated gatherings, such as weddings, bridal showers, vacations, baby showers and gender reveals, were postponed or cancelled due to COVID-19.
Below are some ways you can host a safe and socially distanced baby shower:
- Virtual Showers are the safest of them all! By connecting virtually, you can invite anyone near, far and dear to your heart to participate. You can still enjoy the usual baby shower activities – toast to the future mama or parents, cut a cake, play virtual games, and open baby shower gifts. Plus, you can easily record this memory too!
- Nature Baby Showers are another great way to enjoy some fresh air with loved ones while keeping a safe distance. Whether you live in South Florida, near the beach or up North near the mountains, an outdoor baby shower is a great way to connect with others and celebrate your growing family. And you can transform the space to our liking, from balloons, to banners and more, to make it feel like you did not miss a beat.
- Drive-by Baby Showers have become a 2020 favorite! This is an opportunity for family and friends to safely social distance and still celebrate you. Those who attend can stop by with gifts, decorate their cars, take photos and/or record your reaction. Some expecting mothers have set-up a table, baby-themed balloons, and even provided baby showers favors to guests as they drive by.
How She Told Him is a place to share your pregnancy journey! We love to hear all about your special moments and stories. If you are interested in sharing yours, click here for details on how to take part.
