It’s the perfect way to frame the dessert table or mom-to-be’s chair. Add twinkle lights for a warm glow and you’ve got a photo spot that guests will love.
Not only does it make the space feel elegant, but it also gives the mama a sweet spot to shine in pictures.
7. Romantic Tablescape
Turn your tables into something straight out of a love story with a romantic tablescape. Start with lace runners or a soft pink tablecloth, and layer in gold or silver candle holders for a gentle glow.
Sprinkle rose petals across the table and fold napkins in shades of blush or red. A few dainty flower arrangements or heart-shaped name cards can add that final touch.
It’s simple to put together, but it makes everyone feel like they’re sitting at a cozy little Valentine’s bistro.
8. Baby-Themed Valentine Signs
Bring in some charm with cute baby-themed signs sprinkled throughout the party. Think sweet phrases like “Little Cupid,” “Baby Love,” or “Coming Soon with Love.”
You can prop them near the food, gifts, or entrance for instant smiles. Match the fonts and colors to your overall palette to keep everything looking cohesive.
These little touches feel personal and also make great keepsakes for the parents-to-be.
9. Heart-Shaped Cookies
Add something sweet to your table with decorated heart cookies that are almost too pretty to eat. Bake up classic sugar cookies in heart shapes, then decorate with pink and red icing, tiny baby footprints, or mini onesies.
Dust them with edible glitter for a festive sparkle. Stack them on a tray or wrap a few in clear bags with ribbon as favors. They’ll add a pop of color to your dessert spread and double as adorable takeaways.
10. Love Potion Drinks
Treat guests to a refreshing sip with “Love Potion” drinks. These can be anything from a pink fruit punch to sparkling strawberry-infused water.
Drop in some heart-shaped ice cubes for flair and garnish with mint or fruit slices. You can even use themed drink stirrers that say “Baby Love” for extra fun.
It’s a simple idea, but one that makes the drink station feel just as thoughtful as the rest of the party.
11. Cupcake Bouquet
Bring together the charm of flowers and the sweetness of cupcakes with a beautiful cupcake bouquet. Arrange cupcakes in shades of pink and red to resemble roses, placing them in a decorative basket or flower pot.
Add green tissue paper or cupcake liners to mimic leaves and give texture. It’s a perfect centerpiece for the dessert table and a delightful treat for guests to enjoy.
12. Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
Dress up the classic chocolate-covered strawberries with a Valentine’s Day twist.
Use pink or white chocolate drizzles and sprinkle with edible glitter to make them sparkle.
Arrange them in a heart shape on a platter or set them alongside other desserts for a coordinated and themed look. These treats are both eye-catching and delicious.
13. Baby Onesie Cake
Let the cake steal the show with a baby onesie design. Shape the cake like a onesie and decorate with soft pastel icing and tiny heart accents.
Add cute details like bows or buttons, and personalize with the baby’s name if known. You can pair it with matching cookies or cupcakes to complete the dessert spread.
14. “Guess How Many Hearts”
Add a fun and interactive moment with a Valentine-themed guessing game. Fill a clear jar with colorful conversation hearts and have guests write down their guesses.
The one with the closest number wins a small prize like a candle or sweet treat. This game is not only entertaining but doubles as decor until the winner is announced.
15. Baby Name Love Story
Get your guests involved in a sweet name game inspired by love. Ask them to suggest baby names with romantic meanings—like Amara, Carys, or Valentine—and write them on pretty cards or in a themed notebook.
Present the name list to the parents-to-be as a heartfelt keepsake at the end of the party.
16. Diaper Messages
Bring a touch of laughter and love to those late-night diaper changes with a simple “Diaper Messages” activity.
Provide plain diapers and colorful markers, inviting guests to jot down funny, encouraging, or sweet notes—think “You got this!” or “Almost there!”
Add a Valentine’s spin with messages like “Love you, Baby!” or “XOXO at 3am.” Display them in a cute basket, and the parents will get a smile with every change.
17. DIY Onesies
Let guests show off their creative side with a DIY onesie decorating station. Set out plain white onesies and provide Valentine-themed decorating supplies like fabric markers, iron-ons, or stencils. Encourage designs like tiny hearts, “Love Bug” slogans, or Cupid’s arrows.
As the onesies dry, hang them on a mini clothesline for a heartwarming display that doubles as a keepsake collection for the parents-to-be.
18. Heart-Shaped Soap
For a favor that’s as pretty as it is practical, go for heart-shaped soap. Choose soft Valentine’s hues like blush pink or white and select gentle scents like lavender or rose.
Wrap each soap in clear cellophane with a ribbon or pop them in little boxes with a tag that says “From our hearts to yours.” It’s a thoughtful, sweet gesture that guests will appreciate long after the party ends.
19. Mini Honey Jars
Add a bit of sweetness to your favors with charming mini honey jars. Attach a tag with a phrase like “Meant to Bee” and wrap each lid with twine or ribbon in shades of pink or red.
Add a mini wooden dipper for an extra darling touch. These favors are not just cute—they’re also a lovely keepsake that guests can enjoy at home.
20. Customized Candles
Set the mood for after-party relaxation with personalized candles. Choose mini jars in soft Valentine’s colors and fill them with scents like vanilla, rose, or berry. Top them off with a custom label that says something like “Baby Love” or “Thanks for showering us with love.” Tie a ribbon around the lid for a polished finish—guests will leave with something cozy and meaningful.
21. Heart Cookies in Bags
Send your guests off with a sweet surprise—heart-shaped cookies wrapped in clear bags and tied with pink or red ribbons. You can include a note like “Thanks for making our day sweeter” or “Baked with love for you” to make the gesture even more heartfelt. Decorate the cookies with vibrant icing or sprinkles that fit the Valentine’s vibe for a perfectly themed treat.
22. Mom-to-Be Crown or Sash
Make the mom-to-be feel like royalty with a festive twist on a classic baby shower accessory. Choose a sparkling sash that says “Queen of Hearts” or a glittery crown embellished with tiny hearts. It’s a simple yet thoughtful way to honor her throughout the event and adds a charming touch to photos and special moments.
23. Love Notes for Baby
Set up a beautiful station where guests can write heartfelt messages for the baby. Provide note cards and pens, and place them in a pretty box or heart-themed basket. Prompt guests with phrases like “What I hope for you…” or “Words of wisdom for your parents…” so the parents-to-be can look back and feel all the love and positivity from their special day.
24. Heart-Shaped Photo Booth Props
Bring laughter and memories to the celebration with a Valentine-inspired photo booth. Use heart-shaped props like oversized glasses, Cupid’s bow and arrow, or signs with fun sayings like “Love at First Kick” and “Little Cupid on the Way.” Add a backdrop filled with balloons or garlands to complete the playful setup. It’s a great way to keep guests entertained and capture those joy-filled moments.
25. Lovable Baby Backdrop
Set the mood with a dreamy backdrop full of layered pinks and reds. Use a mix of balloon sizes and shapes, including a few heart balloons to keep things festive. This setup makes a perfect photo spot and brings that soft Valentine charm to the whole shower.
26. Cupid Theme
Celebrate your little sweetheart with a Cupid-inspired vibe. Blend pink, red, and silver tones, and try a faux grass wall for a backdrop that makes your colors stand out. It adds a fresh, unexpected element and looks amazing in photos.
27. A Little Sweetheart Is On The Way
Keep things simple and sweet with a custom arch backdrop. You can rent one or make your own using painted cardboard or plywood. Add your favorite Valentine phrase and finish with a cute balloon garland for a look that’s warm and personal.
28. Pink-Themed Spread
Create a pink-focused snack or tea table that’s as pretty as it is tasty. Stick to red and pink treats to keep the theme consistent. You could even ask guests to wear pink to match the mood and make everything feel more connected.
