What To Write On Baby Shower Signs?

Baby shower signs should be easy to understand, so their wording should be straightforward. The font can be decorative, but it should be easy to decipher and written in large letters, so they stand out at the party. 

 

Welcome baby shower sign

The welcome baby shower sign is at the baby shower venue entrance to welcome the guests. Therefore, a simple “welcome” is enough in this large sign or wordings like these:

  • Welcome To [Guest Of Honor’s Name/Names] Baby Shower
  • Welcome To [Mom’s Name]’s Baby Shower 
  • Welcome To Mommy [Mom’s Name] And [Baby’s Name]’s Baby Shower
  • The [Last Names Of The Couple] Are Having A Kid!
  • The [Couple’s Last Names] Are Welcoming Their Little Girl/Boy

You can always use the baby shower theme and other venue decorations as inspiration for the design of your welcome baby shower sign. You can even include a sonogram or a photo of the expecting mom and/or dad. 

 

Table baby shower signs

The table baby shower signs are the signs or cards at the tables to let the guests know what they are. For example, is the table meant for gifts or favors?

  • Please Take A Favor
  • Cards And Gifts
  • Favors
  • Gifts Here
  • Thank You For Coming. Please Take A Favor!
  • Leave Your Cards And Gifts Here

 

Chair baby shower signs

This baby shower sign is optional, but a great way to make the expecting mom and/or dad feel more honored. You can decorate their chairs with signs exclusive to them to guide them on where to sit. 

  • Mom To Be
  • Dad To Be
  • Mama Bear
  • Papa Bear
  • [Baby’s Name]’s Mom
  • [Baby’s Name]’s Dad

 

Menu baby shower sign

It would be great to have food and menu baby shower signs. Use them to showcase the menu on the buffet table, food stations, or dessert table, or name each dish individually. 

  • Let’s Eat [Brunch Menu]
  • Tea Party Menu [List Of Food Items]
  • Drinks And Appetizers
  • Desserts
  • Cocktails 

You can give a brief description of each dish on the menu. Otherwise, a simple card of the dish’s name on your baby shower buffet would also suffice, but make sure all the food signs have the same design and are cohesive with the other table decorations. 

 

Game baby shower signs

Make your baby shower games easier to follow and more interactive by having a sign for each game. They should be sizable and easy to understand, and what to write on them can include the game title, instructions, or even grids and lines that guests can fill up. 

  • Game title with a short explanation of how to play it
  • Game title and grid to fill up
  • Game title and lines to fill up

Here’s the list of baby shower games to know what specific things to write on the game signs, such as the mechanics for each game. 

 

How Big Are Baby Shower Signs?

Your baby shower signs should be big enough to stand out at the venue. The signs should be very obvious compared to other baby shower decorations as they also guide guests about the party. 

 

Welcome baby shower sign

One of the biggest baby shower signs is the welcome sign. While it does not have wordy information written on it, it can be as big as 18 by 24 inches, so it’s easily seen at the baby shower venue entrance.

Other sizes for the welcome baby shower sign are 16 by 20 inches, but the smallest can be 11 by 14 inches. Just remember that the name of the guest of honor and the welcome wording is the most eye-catching in this sign. 

 

Table baby shower signs

The table baby shower signs are meant to guide guests about the gift and favor tables. However, they don’t need to be as big as the welcome sign, and you can even just put them over these tables. 

The smallest size for baby shower table signs is 5 by 7 inches, while the biggest one you can use is 11 by 14 inches, and you can even stand it on an easel. However, the sweet spot is 8 by 10 inches, so the table signs stick out from the tables. 

 

Chair baby shower signs

The chair baby shower signs to designate and decorate the seats of the expecting parents can be hanged by the chair’s back as a framed sign or treated like a banner you can drape around the chair. The chair signs can also be placed on the seats. 

The sizes for these baby shower signs can be as small as 5 by 7 inches, so the parents-to-be can also take them home as party souvenirs. But to make the chair signs pop out, you can also have them as big as 8 by 10 inches or 11 by 14 inches. 

 

Menu baby shower sign

The baby shower menu signs should be big enough to carry all the information about baby shower food items. You may even need to describe each dish so that the size can be around 11 by 14 inches.

You can place the menu sign by the baby shower food tables and stations over an easel. However, you can also use a smaller baby shower menu and food signs at 8 by 10 inches or 5 by 7 inches that you can place in front of the dishes. 

 

Game baby shower signs

You can guide the guests with the directions of each baby shower game using game signs. They might also need to be as big as 16 by 20 inches or 18 by 24 inches if they are blanks, lines, and grids that the players must fill out. 

However, you can also have smaller game signs at the baby shower to designate game props. They can be around 11 by 14 inches or 5 by 7 inches if you’ll arrange them on tables. 

 

What Are Baby Shower Signs Made Of?

 

Cardstock

The cheapest and easiest baby shower signs are made from cardstock. You can purchase cheap templates and print baby shower signs at home. 

You can also order cardstock baby shower signs and customize them based on the party theme or design you have in mind. For display, they can be framed or placed on easels. 

 

Vinyl

Another design option for baby shower signs is vinyl decals. You can adhere the stickers on frosted glass or transparent materials for a modern baby shower sign. 

They’re perfect for outdoor baby showers, and these decal stickers are also cheaper than printing large materials. You can also DIY them and choose the sign material to put on the stickers.  

 

Acrylic

Another modern baby shower sign decoration option is acrylic. You can use white lettering or gold or silver fonts for the sign wording. 

Acrylic baby shower signs would also look great with greenery and flowers. However, they are pricier than getting vinyl decals for cards. 

 

LED neon

Will you have an evening baby shower? You can wow your guests with glowing baby shower signs from LED neon. 

They can be your welcome signs or table signs. What’s cute about these decorations is they’ll also pop nicely in photos. 

 

Wood

Your signs can also match the other baby shower decorations for a rustic baby shower. You can get wooden plaques made from bamboo, pine, or jarrah from places like Etsy. 

As of this writing, a personalized floral plaque on Etsy costs around $39.25. You can even give it as memorabilia to the baby shower guest of honors. 

 

How To Make Baby Shower Signs?

 

Wooden baby shower sign

You’ll need any flat piece of wood to prepare before painting the sign. Get it sanded and stained, then paint or use vinyl decals. 

 

Mirror baby shower sign

Purchase any mirror the size you need for the sign and have it painted or adhere decals onto it. Then, get it framed for easier setups around the party venue. 

 

Hanging baby shower signs

Paint any fabric and hang it around the baby shower venue. You can also make signs from the paper you’ll attach on strings or ribbons.

Printed framed signs

You can print signs on any paper and place them inside a frame. You can do this for baby shower table or menu signs. 

 

Mailbox sign

Have a unique baby shower welcome sign by painting a mailbox. You can also use vinyl stickers.

 

Chalkboard sign

You can make your baby shower menu sign with any piece of chalkboard over an easel. But for an eye-catching welcome sign, you can recycle an old door. 

 

Conclusion

And that’s it! We hope these baby shower sign ideas inspire your decorations for the baby shower.

Remember that you’ll need welcome, table, chair, menu, and game signs at the baby shower party. Their wordings are straightforward; you can even DIY them from cardstock, chalkboards, and wood.
