Learning the alphabet will be a huge milestone for the little one in learning how to read. Celebrate the new baby boy or girl with an alphabet themed baby shower. This baby shower theme will give you the opportunity to be creative with books, letters, and more! Below are a few ideas to get you started.
Alphabet Baby Shower Invitations
Start right off the bat with engaging creativity by making invitations that are fun, simple crosswords for guests to solve. After those invites are out, get ready to whip up an unforgettable baby shower with a delightful theme!
Alphabet Baby Shower Decorations
The basic, building blocks of putting this baby shower event together is, well, exactly that—blocks! ABC alphabet blocks are a perfect place to start when it comes to decorating. Your main event cake can be a replica of a few stacked alphabet blocks. Maybe it’s random letters, maybe it’s simply “ABC”, or it could even spell out the new baby’s name if space allows.
You can get crafty and have fun making big cardboard letters covered in glitter, buttons, bows—you name it! Put the letters upon the walls of the party venue in all sorts of places, or put them all up on a backdrop behind the main event food or gift table.
Book Alphabet Garland
This alphabet garland will look perfect displayed on your wall, along a fence, or above a fireplace. The letters are made from a variety of baby board books, which makes it the perfect decoration for a baby shower and a wonderful keepsake. Maybe you will even read some of the books on the garland to your baby.
Custom Alphabet Blocks
These large alphabet blocks measure approximately 4.5 inches tall. Each block can include both pictures and letters. The colors, letters, and pictures of the blocks can all be customized, which makes the blocks the perfect decoration to celebrate a baby girl or boy.
Alphabet Baby Shower Food
Delight the guests with alphabet-shaped cookies, each letter perfectly decorated in pastel icing. Arrange a fruit and cheese platter in the shape of letters, or serve mini sandwiches cut into alphabet shapes.
Cupcakes topped with fondant letters and a cake featuring the entire alphabet add a whimsical touch. Complement the theme with letter-shaped chocolates and pretzels, making the food not only delicious but also a fun and cohesive part of the celebration.
Alphabet Baby Shower Games
Create baby shower games for guests such as a fill in the blank activity for every alphabet letter, challenging participants to come up with a baby item that begins with each of the 26 letters of the alphabet. Or, you can create a letter scramble game that is life-sized (with the key word they are looking to solve is the baby’s name!) and takes up a wall for guests to jump in and engage.
Hand out prizes such as letter soap that is the letter of what the baby’s name starts with. In this same idea, fill favor bags for guests with the letter of the first names in the forms of wine charms, coasters, totes, or beverage coolers.
Alphabet Baby Shower Favors
Alphabet-themed baby shower favors can be both charming and educational. Delight guests with personalized gift bags featuring their initials or small boxes filled with alphabet magnets or blocks. Consider giving out letter-shaped soaps or candles, adding a practical yet playful touch.
Customized keychains or bookmarks with each guest’s initial are thoughtful keepsakes. You can also include small jars of candies with labels shaped like different letters, ensuring the favors are memorable and in keeping with the delightful theme.
