- Putting together a scrapbook for the parents-to-be is a way for guests to contribute on a gift that will not only serve as a memento of the occasion, but as a way to store the many milestones and memories to come.
Set up a room or section of the party with a blank scrapbook, basic scrapbooking supplies and a decorated page you worked on, so guests have an idea of what to do. An example of a page would be "Baby's First Bath," with pictures of water or stickers of rubber ducks. Then, all that's left for parents to do is insert a picture of the baby getting her first bath. - As many newborn parents will tell you, there can never be enough onesies. For those unfamiliar with the term, a onesie is a cloth baby outfit that snaps at the crotch. When babies spit up on them, the dirty one goes in the laundry and a new one is put on. This routine can happen up to several times a day, so parents can go through a lot.
Before the party, buy enough blank onesies so each guest has one. Set up an area with the baby outfits, along with fashion paint, markers, glitter and other decorating details. Keep baby's safety in mind, so don't include choking hazards such as buttons, which could fall off. Each guest should decorate a onesie for the newborn. By the end of the party, the future parents are stocked up with onesies that will serve as reminders of the baby shower.
