Usually, I have my partner and designer make all of the free baby shower prints for you, but today I’ve decided to learn (on a basic level) how to design and create my own baby shower prints.
Not only that, but I’ve decided to show you what I’ve learned so you can easily duplicate it and make your own baby shower invitations, favors, decorations and games. That’s right! It’s DIY time!
The beauty is that, if I can do it then so can you! Because I am by no means a technologically gifted person, far from it…
These tutorials are meant to empower you so that if you ever have a creative task you can do it on the fly. I have also created a baby shower banner design video and an baby shower invitation design video. If you haven’t seen those, I recommend you watch them.
Below you will find everything you need! I provide the prints, the masks (more about that later) and all the free tools you can use to make your own prints:
DIY Baby Shower Game Templates & Guide

About the game: It was really fun to make this game because I think the nautical theme is really cool. Of course you can use any type of background theme you’d like when creating your game.
On top of that, you can make any type game you’d like. The sky’s the limit! I find most baby shower hosts opt for bingo but to be honest, I think that game is kinda tired and played-out.
Tip: Try to match the game you make with the theme of your baby shower. So for example, if you are having a woodland theme a game where your guests have to guess the animal’s baby name (Cat – Kitten or Kangaroo – Joey) would be ideal.

About the toppers: I enjoyed making these DIY decorations and I think you will too! It was easy to find the background color pattern for my toppers. You can use any background you’d like.
You can also vary the size of these templates depending ,of course, on the size of the cupcake. Remember to use matching frosting to tie the theme of your baby shower together.
Tip: There are many ways to attach your toppers to your baby shower cupcakes but I find it easy to just tape them to toothpicks and stick those toothpicks into your cupcakes.
About the files: All of the files I’ve provided you are in a zip folder. After you download them you can print the examples on the videos with your color printer on standard letter paper.

Free Printable Baby Shower Favor Templates!
I was posed this question by one of our readers “Your decorations are great! However, don’t you have some way to decorate baby shower favors?”
I replied with a “No” simply because baby shower favor containers come in all shapes and sizes so there is no real way to create one type of printable for all situations.
Then I thought, what if the baby shower printable was the container?!?! That’s when our design team got to work. We got inspired by printable game blocks that some game players used, we took that idea and ran with it. Below are the fruits of our labor:
