How to Throw a Cutie Pie Baby Shower
Throwing a “Cutie Pie” themed baby shower for the mom to be is such a sweet idea! Here’s everything you need to know to make it a memorable event.
Invitations
Start with playful, warm invitations. You can use phrases like “A Little Cutie Pie is on the Way!” and include cute illustrations of pies or even heart motifs.
If the mom-to-be loves puns, add lines like “Join us for a slice of fun!”
Decorations
Stick to a warm, cozy color palette—think peach, orange, yellow, and light pink tones, creating a sunny and inviting vibe.
Banners & Balloons: Create a “Cutie Pie” banner in those colors, and mix in some pie-shaped balloons for a fun touch.
Table Setup: Use gingham tablecloths or pie-patterned napkins to enhance the cozy, bakery vibe. You can also display small pie tins as centerpieces with flowers or fruit arrangements.
Signage: A chalkboard with cute phrases like “Sweet as Pie!” adds a homey feel.
Food & Drinks
You can really lean into the theme with food that complements it.
Mini Pies: Offer a variety of mini pies (apple, peach, cherry) for guests to enjoy. You can also have a pie station where guests can top their mini pies with whipped cream or ice cream.
Pie-Themed Desserts: Think cupcakes topped with mini pie decorations, or sugar cookies shaped like pies.
Pie Bar: Serve up a variety of pies so all your guests can find something they like.
Games & Activities
Keep the “Cutie Pie” theme rolling with fun baby shower games:
Guess the Baby Food: Use jars of baby food in flavors like apple, peach, and other fruits. Have guests blindfolded and guess the flavor!
Pie Eating Contest: A mini pie eating contest could be a fun and hilarious addition. Keep it clean by offering individual mini pies and a timed challenge.
DIY Bib or Onesie Station: Set up a station where guests can decorate bibs or onesies with pie-themed designs—stamps or markers featuring pumpkins, apples, or little pies.
Favors
Send guests home with adorable, themed favors like:
Mini Pies: Hand out small pies wrapped in cute boxes or bags.
Or pie-shaped cookies in a pie box.
Candle Pies: Pie-scented candles make a unique favor that ties in perfectly with the theme.
Mini Pinata: Or have your guests each crack open a mini pie pinata.
Personal Touches
Photos: Create a photo booth with pie or fruit props for guests to enjoy!
Keepsake for Mom-to-Be: Have a guestbook where attendees can leave sweet notes for the mom-to-be and her little cutie.
Venue & Setup
Outdoor vs. Indoor: If you’re hosting outdoors, an orchard or garden could fit the theme beautifully. Indoors, transform the space with rustic décor—think wooden crates, mason jars, and pie stands.
Seating Arrangements: Create cozy seating areas with picnic blankets, pie-themed pillows, or even long communal tables to give off that warm, family gathering vibe.
Timeline & Flow
Welcome Table: Set up a welcome table with name tags, mini pies, or other favors for guests as they arrive.
Gift Opening: Have a designated time for gift opening, and consider using a ‘gift bingo’ card to keep guests engaged. The squares could include baby-themed items like bibs, diapers, and pacifiers.
Photo Ops: Plan moments for group photos or candid shots. You can even create a little pie shop stand or cart for a fun photo backdrop.
Theme Consistency
Music: Soft, acoustic background music or a playlist filled with feel-good tunes can set a lighthearted mood. You could also make a “Cutie Pie” playlist with classic, feel-good hits (think of songs like “Sugar, Sugar” by The Archies).
Scent: Scent plays a big role in setting the mood! A few well-placed candles or essential oil diffusers with citrus or pie scents (like apple pie or vanilla) can make the space feel extra cozy and welcoming.
Extra Touches for the Mom-to-Be
Mom-to-Be’s Outfit: Help the guest of honor pick an outfit that aligns with the theme. A flowy dress in soft orange tones would look stunning and tie her into the décor.
Special Chair for the Mom-to-Be: Create a comfy, pretty chair for the guest of honor to sit in during gift opening or photos. Adorn it with garlands or flowers for an extra touch.
Contingency Plan
Rain Plan: If you’re outdoors, make sure to have a backup plan like a tent or an indoor option, so the event goes smoothly no matter what.
Backup Games: In case certain activities move faster than expected, have a few extra simple games (like baby word scrambles or a “Who Knows Mommy Best?” quiz) to fill time.
