Best Venues for a Daisy Baby Shower

This daisy suite shines in bright, airy spaces where navy, white, and yellow really pop. Great fits include:

• A blooming garden or backyard
  

• A tea room or cafe patio with natural light
  

• A greenhouse or botanical garden for lush greenery
  

• A sun-filled living room, porch, or balcony styled with fresh flowers

Tips for a Springtime Venue:

• Check the weather forecast and have a backup plan for outdoor showers.

Love the daisy look outside? You can bring the vibe indoors any time of year—use white flowers or faux blooms, navy napkins, and sunny yellow accents to recreate a fresh “spring” feel in any season.

A sophisticated take on the daisy theme: soft blue drapery, white florals (roses and seasonal blooms), gold accents, and airy place settings. No daisies nearby? Use any white flowers to capture the same fresh spring feel.

Fun and Easy Spring Baby Shower Games and Activities

Make it interactive and fun with spring-inspired games and sweet memories.

Game Ideas:

Keepsake Station:

• Create a “Wishes for Baby” station where guests write notes for the parents to keep. You can use our matching floral note cards, or any simple cards in navy/yellow/white to tie in the theme.

Spring Baby Shower FAQs: Your Questions Answered

Q: Is the daisy theme suitable for a gender-neutral baby shower?
A: Yes. You can customize the invitation colors to suit your style — keep the classic navy/white/yellow, switch to soft pastels for a gender-neutral look, or try sage green, butter yellow, or pale blue as your background. We can personalize the suite to match your palette.

Q: When is the best time to host a spring baby shower?
A: The best time to host a spring baby shower is between late March and early June, when flowers are in bloom and the weather is mild. For outdoor events, aim for mid-morning or early afternoon to enjoy comfortable temperatures and natural light. And don’t forget a backup plan—spring showers can pop up unexpectedly, so have an indoor or tented option just in case!

Prefer a spring feel at another time of year? Bring the season indoors with fresh (or faux) flowers, soft colors, and plenty of natural light — you can create spring vibes any month.

Q: What if I’m hosting the baby shower outdoors?
A: Provide shade with tents or umbrellas, use floral weights on paper items, and offer fans or lemonade stations to keep guests cool and comfortable throughout the event.

Q: Can I customize the invitation suite?
A: Yes! Everything from the name to the date, location, and colors can be personalized to fit your event theme and personal style.

Q: How long will my printed order take?
A: You’ll receive a digital proof within 2 business days (sooner if possible). Once you approve it, printing takes 2–3 business days. Shipping is 2–5 business days depending on the option you select at checkout. Need it faster? Choose a rush shipping upgrade at checkout. (Weekends/holidays not included.)

Q: Will the printed colors match what I see on my screen?
A: Slight color variations are normal because screens display color differently. We provide digital proofs only (no printed proofs). If you’re aiming for a specific shade, tell us and we can adjust the colors in your proof before printing.

Q: What paper and envelopes do you use?
A: Invitations are printed on premium 120 lb white matte cardstock. White envelopes are included. You can upgrade to colored envelopes if you’d like.

Q: Can you print guest addresses?
A: Yes! We can print your return and guest addresses. Order envelope address printing and send your list by spreadsheet or email—whatever’s easiest. We’ll take it from there.

Q: What if I need more invitations later?
A: Reorders are easy—your design stays on file. Go back to the same invitation page and order the quantity you need. In the personalization box, write “Same as before—no edits needed.” Since nothing has changed, we’ll skip the proof and go straight to print.

Q: Do you offer custom designs?
A: Absolutely. We can tailor colors and wording, adapt another invitation (wedding, bridal shower, birthday) into a baby shower design, or even combine elements from two designs to match your theme. Tell us your vision and we’ll create it.

Q: What should the mom-to-be wear?
A: Comfort first: a breathable dress or jumpsuit in white, yellow, or a soft pastel pairs beautifully with the theme. Pair with low heels or flats and a cardigan or light wrap if it’s breezy. Finish the look with a daisy crown, a simple flower hair clip, or delicate jewelry.

Q: Who typically hosts the baby shower?
A: Usually, close friends, sisters, cousins, or a group of loved ones come together to host the shower for the mom-to-be.

Q: Who pays for the baby shower?
A: Traditionally, the host or hosting group covers the expenses, but it’s perfectly fine to share costs among several people.

Q: Can the mom-to-be throw her own baby shower?
A: Yes, it’s becoming more common and completely acceptable to host your own baby shower—especially if you love planning events or want a specific theme!

Q: Should the mom-to-be be involved in planning?
A: Definitely! While hosts usually handle logistics, the mom-to-be’s input on the guest list, theme, menu, and games helps ensure everything reflects her preferences.

Q: Is it appropriate to have a baby shower for a second (or third) child?
A: Yes! Every baby deserves to be celebrated. While showers for subsequent children may be smaller or more focused on essentials, they’re still meaningful and joyful events.

Q: How long should a baby shower last?
A: Most baby showers last 2–3 hours, which gives time for mingling, games, food, and gift-opening without overwhelming guests or the mom-to-be.

Q: What should guests wear to a spring baby shower?
A: Light fabrics, floral prints, and pastel colors are perfect! For outdoor events, suggest sun hats, wedges or flats, and sunscreen. You can mention the dress code in the invite or details card.

Q: Can I use artificial daisies for decoration?
A: Absolutely! Faux daisies are affordable and long-lasting. Mix them with real greenery or baby’s breath in garlands, centerpieces, and photo backdrops for a natural look.

Q: How do I make the baby shower feel cohesive?
A: Choose a tight color palette and repeat it. With this suite, think navy, yellow, and white: navy napkins, white flowers, and yellow ribbons or candles. Not everything needs a daisy pattern — echoing the colors across linens, florals, signage, and favors ties the whole space together.

Q: What are some great spring-themed baby shower favors?
A: Here are a few lovely options your guests will appreciate:

• Mini potted daisies or seed packets
  

• Honey jars with custom daisy tags
  

• Lemon-scented candles
  

• Personalized daisy notepads 

Wrap them with ribbon and include a sweet thank-you tag for a polished final touch!

How to keep track of gifts (the simple way)

Set a small basket at the gift table with pens and sticky notes. As each gift arrives, keep the card with the gift—slip the card into the bag or tape it to the box. If there’s no card, write the giver’s name on a sticky note and stick it to the gift. That’s it. When you open gifts later, you’ll know exactly who to thank.

Optional: snap a quick phone photo of each gift with its card for backup.
