Christmas baby shower ideas start with the invitation, because a December date competes with office parties, school concerts and holiday travel. Guests need the details early, and they need to know at a glance that this is a shower worth saving the afternoon for.
Each invitation below opens a matching suite on Zazzle, so the thank you cards, signs and favor tags can follow whichever design you choose.
Pink and Red Christmas Baby Shower Ideas
Red says December before anyone reads the date, and pink keeps it soft enough for a baby shower. The choice here comes down to how festive the rest of the party will be.
Christmas Teddy Stripes Merry Little Baby Shower Invitation
A good pick when the baby’s sex is a surprise, or when the parents would rather keep the focus on the season. It honors one mom-to-be by name, which suits a shower hosted by a sister, a best friend or a group of coworkers in early December.

Names both parents, so it fits a co-ed shower or a couples party where the dad-to-be’s friends are on the guest list too. A strong choice for a January or February baby, since the theme carries past the holidays without looking out of date.

A winter Christmas baby shower leans on snow and candlelight instead of ornaments, and it stays appropriate well into the new year.
Winter Wonderland Watercolor Snow Cold Baby Shower Invitation
For hosts who want Christmas without the red and green, or for a shower that falls in late December or January when the tree is already coming down. It honors one mom-to-be and suits an evening gathering, a cozy dinner or a shower held by candlelight.
Shop the Winter Village →Planning tip: for a shower in the first half of December, send invitations by mid-November. Calendars fill quickly once Thanksgiving passes, and an early invitation is often the difference between a full room and a string of regrets. For printed invitations, allow about two weeks for printing and standard shipping before your mail-out date.
