So, you’re planning a baby shower, and you’re trying to figure out how to make everything look adorable without losing your mind (or spending your entire rent). I get it. Baby shower decorations feel like one of those things where Pinterest has 9,000 ideas, but none of them tell you where to actually begin. You want cute. You want aesthetic.
You want people to walk in and go, “Awwwwww, stop it right now.” And honestly? The secret isn’t balloons. It’s not the cake. It’s the signs. Baby shower signs tie the whole vibe together. They make everything feel intentional, themed, and yes—Instagram-ready.
Now, before you assume “signs” means “a piece of paper taped to a wall,” let’s clarify: Baby shower signs can be funny, heartfelt, personalized, elegant, or straight-up showstopping. And you can DIY them, print them, order them, or even repurpose a thrift-store frame and feel like a crafting genius.
Let’s chat through 15 baby shower sign ideas that will without question make your guests whisper, gasp, squeal, and—most importantly—say “OMG. So. Cute.”
1. The Welcome Sign That Sets the Tone
Your welcome sign literally sets the entire mood. When people walk in and see an adorable welcome sign, they instantly know they’re about to experience cuteness overload.
A good welcome sign includes:
- The baby’s name (if known)
- The shower theme
- A sweet or funny phrase
For example:
“Welcome to Baby Harper’s Shower — Let the Snuggles Begin!”
Even better? Print it on a large foam board and place it on an easel. It looks luxurious. Your guests will assume you spent $200. (You did not. And that’s the best part.)
Ever notice how a cute welcome sign makes even a living room look like a magazine spread? Exactly.
2. A Floral Baby Shower Sign for Garden or Boho Themes
If your baby shower theme leans boho, earthy, or soft and romantic, a floral baby shower sign completely elevates the setup. I once hosted a baby shower where we literally stuck fake eucalyptus around a thrift-store frame, and guests acted like we hired a floral designer.
Pro tip: Choose soft neutral colors and script fonts for that Pinterest-soft-aesthetic look.
This sign works beautifully for:
- Backyard showers
- Neutral color palettes
- “Mama-to-be” tea parties
Seriously, if you want instant “pretty,” just add flowers.
3. A Chalkboard Baby Shower Sign for That Rustic Vibe
Chalkboard signs bring warmth, personality, and a little farmhouse charm. And the best part? You can erase mistakes. Which is great, because my handwriting looks like a toddler on a sugar high.
Write something like:
“Welcome Little One 💛”
or
“Snacks This Way → Because Pregnancy Hunger Is REAL.”
Chalkboard signs work best when:
- Your theme has wood accents
- You want something reusable
- You like DIY vibes
They’re cozy. They’re cute. They’re forgiving. Bless them.
4. A Minimalist Baby Shower Sign (If You Like That Clean Aesthetic)
If clutter stresses you out, minimalist signs are your best friend. These signs give designer energy without trying too hard.
Think:
- Clean lines
- Neutral backgrounds
- One cute phrase
For example:
“Baby in Bloom 🌿”
or
“Hello, Little Darling.”
Your friends will say, “Where did you get this?”
You’ll say, “Oh, I just printed it.”
They’ll question their entire life décor strategy.
5. A Personalized Baby Name Sign
If the baby’s name is already chosen, use it everywhere. People LOVE seeing the baby’s name. It makes everything feel real and sweet.
Examples:
- “Baby Carter” in big bold letters
- A cursive wooden cut-out above the dessert table
- A framed monogram with baby’s initials
This sign works especially well as wall décor in the nursery afterward. You get decor and sentimental value. Elite multitasking.
6. A Funny Baby Shower Sign for the Gift Table
Look—baby showers get emotional. It’s cute. It’s wholesome. But adding one funny sign keeps everyone from turning into puddles.
Try something like:
“Gifts Go Here! (Yes, We’ll Pretend She Won’t Outgrow Them in 2 Weeks.)”
People laugh. Mom feels loved. The vibes stay light. Everyone wins.
7. A Dessert Table Sign That Makes the Sweets Look Fancier
Dessert table signs are like makeup: The desserts look good without them, but with them? Chef’s kiss.
Examples:
- “Sweet Baby, Sweet Treats”
- “Take a Treat to Celebrate the Sweetest Little One”
- “Snack Like You’re Eating For Two 😉”
Place the sign near cupcakes and cookies. Watch people take pictures like it’s a bakery opening.
8. A Bar or Drink Station Sign (Because Yes, We Need This)
Not every shower includes alcohol, but every shower includes beverages. So let’s make it cute.
Sign ideas:
- “Mom-osa Bar” (iconic)
- “Sip Sip Hooray — Baby Is on the Way!”
- “Hydrate. We Support Healthy Life Choices Here.”
Add fruit slices, cute glasses, and boom—Pinterest-worthy.
Ever noticed how people love personalizing drinks? This is why DIY drink stations always hit.
9. A “Mom-to-Be” Highlight Sign
The mom deserves her own spotlight moment. This sign calls attention to her chair, table, or throne (yes, throne).
Try:
“Reserved for the Queen (and her Pretty Little Kicking Sidekick)”
Suddenly, every photo looks intentional. The mom feels adored. Tears happen.
10. A Photo Booth Sign for the Mandatory Cute Pictures
You need pictures. Your guests want pictures. The mom wants pictures. So make a little photo booth corner and put up a sign that says:
“Strike a Pose, Baby’s Close!”
or
“Snap a Pic With the Mama-To-Be!”
Add:
- A backdrop
- A cute chair
- Maybe some props
It takes 5 minutes to set up and becomes everyone’s favorite spot.
11. A Baby Prediction Game Sign
Games feel chaotic when no one knows what’s happening. A sign fixes that.
Put up a sign explaining:
- Guess baby’s birth date
- Guess baby’s weight
- Guess baby’s hair color
People LOVE guessing. And later? It becomes a sweet keepsake.
12. A Baby Advice Station Sign
Have guests write advice on cards. And yes, you’ll get sweet messages and chaotic comedy like:
“Sleep now. Seriously.”
Your sign could say:
“Leave Some Advice for the Parents-To-Be!”
This sign creates both bonding and future laughter. Double win.
13. A Diaper Notes Station Sign
If you’ve never written funny notes on diapers before, you’re missing out.
Sign idea:
“Write a Message For Midnight Diaper Duty 💛”
Expect:
- Encouragement
- Chaos
- Jokers
It will help the parents at 2am when they need it the most.
14. A Favors Sign So Guests Actually Take the Favors
For some reason, guests will not take favors unless you tell them to. A sign solves this.
Write:
“Please Take a Favor — Don’t Make Me Beg.”
It works every time.
15. A “Thank You for Celebrating” Sign to End the Day Beautifully
This is your closing moment. Make it heartfelt.
“Thank You for Celebrating Baby and Mama. We Love You!”
It’s warm. It’s sweet. People leave smiling.
Final Thoughts: Cute Signs = Cute Shower
So, here’s the truth: You don’t need a giant party budget to make your baby shower look adorable. You just need thoughtful, well-placed signs that match your vibe. Signs pull everything together and make your shower look planned—even when you absolutely winged half of it (we’ve all been there).
Whether you’re going boho, minimalist, rustic, sparkly, or soft and sweet, there’s a baby shower sign that will level things up instantly. And yes, your guests will absolutely say “OMG so cute.” Because you nailed it. 🙂
