Unicorn baby showers are the new black.

4 min read

Last week I saw a cute pregnant woman wearing a We’re Hoping It’s a Unicorn t-shirt.

That, my friends, is brilliant. What is more magical than feeling that little one squirming, poking, hiccuping, and being all adorable? Which, of course, made me realize that perhaps the most appropriate theme for a glowing new mom-to-be is a unicorn baby shower.

It’s whimsical. It’s memorable. It’s just plain fun.

Throwing the Ultimate Unicorn Baby Shower

Here’s what you need to pull your unforgettable unicorn baby shower together. (Examples below!)

A fantastic invitation, to get people pumped to show up. (And bring a sweet gift!)
Delicious food that’s easy to make, but still impressive enough to inspire Wow!s.
A gorgeous cake (or cupcakes) you can make yourself (if you want to).
A decorated room that transports guests into a fairyland of fun.
Party games that people actually enjoy playing!
Thank-you favors for those that come, so they can leave just as happy as when they came.

Now. Ready for examples?
