Baby showers can be a blast, but they require a lot of planning. What games will you play? Will there be prizes? What will be on the menu? What will be the theme? These are the questions you should ask yourself as you begin to prepare for the baby shower. Whether you are the mother, sister, aunt, grandma, or friend of the expectant mother, the shower details will come down to you. That can be a lot to put on one person, so you’ll need all the help and inspiration you can get! Baby showers do not have to be fancy or expensive, but there are still plenty of fun ways to have an unforgettable time without breaking the bank. One of the cutest and most memorable ways to up your baby shower game is with adorable shirts for the whole family!
The Importance of Baby Showers
As you may know, baby showers are an important event for expectant mothers. Not only is it a get-together of friends and family, but it’s a day where the mama-to-be is celebrated while receiving gifts and essentials for the baby. Being a first-time parent is not exactly cheap, so having a shower can help lower some expenses for the expectant parents.
If you have ever been to a baby shower, you know there are traditional games that are typically played as well as new and creative games that are unique to each baby shower (thanks, Pinterest!) But what about themed ideas or party favors for the guests? Party favors can be a great way to show gratitude toward the guest and be a meaningful keepsake for years to come. Often, baby showers will include people from different parts of the expectant mother’s life, so games and party favors can be a great way to break the ice and engage with guests.
Baby Shower Shirt Ideas
There are a few different ways to do the t-shirt idea, and each of them is fun and unique in its own way. Excellent planning is all in the small details and if you are looking for a fun and creative way to bring all of the guests together, consider making custom t-shirts! Everyone’s budget is slightly different, so take a look at the best baby shower shirt ideas and pick the right one for you! While you are thinking of baby shower games you will play, try coming up with other ideas or themes for the big day.

Simple Themed T-Shirts
If you came up with a theme for the baby shower, this is a great time to get creative and turn the theme into a design that you can have printed on shirts! Maybe it’s something a little more straightforward like “Baby 2022” or “’s Baby Shower!”
Choosing one design for everyone to wear makes the rest of the process a lot easier for you. Once you have chosen a design, t-shirt color, font, etc., you can find an online custom t-shirt company to print and ship your t-shirts to you. During the checkout process, you should be able to choose sizes, quantities, and t-shirt type. Different services online cost different amounts for the same service or options, so make sure to do your research ahead of time. -
Custom Designed T-Shirts
If you have a smaller baby shower or a little flexibility in your budget, you could have custom t-shirts made for every guest. If this is not an option, you can just focus on the mother, grandmother, aunt, etc. The great thing about custom designs is that each design can still have the themed text as mentioned in number one but with a personalized touch. For example, all of the shirts could say something like “’s Baby Shower 2022,” and also contain “Proud Grandma” or “First-Time Aunt!”
You will want to decide how many people you will make the t-shirts for and then order accordingly, but remember to make it creative!
You can even keep it simple while still personalizing the shirts by simply having the relationship to the newborn on the shirt (mom, aunt, cousin, big brother, big sister) and adding “to-be” after. -
B.Y.O.S.
Bring your own shirt! If you want to turn the baby shower shirt ideas into an activity, consider telling guests to bring their own shirts to design while at the party. You can provide various paints, crafts, and art supplies for the guests. Then, the expectant mother chooses her favorite one! Having guests bring their own shirts is also way more budget-friendly.
The next time you are planning a baby shower, try these adorable shower-themed shirts for the whole family! Not only will they last a lot longer than other party favors, but they will also make for the cutest pics to share online!
