Make the Decor Extra Special

We love a good theme. And Iconic Mom decor is just so right. Here are some ideas:

‍

Decorate with Mom Quotes

Quotes can be fun place cards, posters, or even cake toppers. You could go with serious, fun, or a mix! Some of our favorites are: 

"Motherhood has changed me in every way. It’s made me softer and stronger at the same time." Kourtney Kardashian 

"My daughter introduced me to myself." Beyonce

"I’m not like a regular mom, I’m a cool mom." Regina George’s Mom

‍

Roll Out the Red Carpet

Roll out a red carpet at the entrance to give guests a glamorous, star-studded welcome.

‍

Iconic Mom-spiration for Food and Drink

Inspiration for what food to serve at your baby shower can come from your favorite iconic moms. For example, you could channel the timeless style of Jackie Kennedy with mini quiches, shrimp cocktail and a cheese platter. 

‍

Have a Mom-Mosa Bar

Moms love mimosas, so give them what they want. Have a variety of juices and champagne. This is also an easy win for those looking for a NA (non-alcoholic) option.

‍

What About Activities? 

Photo Booth

If you’re getting your friends to dress up, you must get pictures of those iconic mom fits! Provide props and disposable cameras for guests. You could even make a guest book on the spot.

‍

Iconic Mom Trivia

Create a trivia game with questions about famous mothers in history, movies and TV shows. 

‍

Baby Shower Favors

If you’re looking to give your guests a thank you for coming gift, some ideas inspired by iconic moms are: Books by Iconic Moms like “Becoming” by Michelle Obama or "Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat" by Chrissy Teigen. We also love spa-inspired favors, maybe from a mom-led company like Goop or BeautyCounter.

‍

Enjoy It!

Baby showers are so special. We hope you have extra fun at yours, inspired by some pretty amazing and iconic moms.
