Whether you're revealing your gender, know it already, or plan to announce it at birth, these fun, Free downloadable zoom backgrounds, are sure to brighten up Your virtual baby shower!
Let's focus on the positives, I know it's sad you're missing out on the traditional baby shower experience, but here is a brief list of positives to help you be thankful to be socially distanced…
- Bras & Pants are optional. Try pulling that one off at your standard baby shower…See how many friends and co-workers talk to you after that!
- No menu catering to other people's food allergies, religious,or voluntary food restrictions, you get 100% what you want. I suggest ordering your favorite food for delivery!
- No friend arguments over who's doing what, and budget.
- No shoes!
- You, your loved ones, and your unborn little are all staying safe, and healthy from the comfort of their own homes, so they will be able to be here to see you, and this little one growing up.
Here's the plan for the Perfect social distancing baby shower:
- Set the time, then create and send out your invitation/ save the date.
- Drive thru baby shower- Friends and Loved ones can form a parade of cars to deliver gifts to the expecting mom’s home.
- Set up a place so people can place gifts, if possible have a designated gift grabber ( besides Mom-to-be ) to face mask and glove up to accept packages!
- An hour after the baby shower drop off plan to meet back up with your friends and family on a personal ( and passworded) zoom conference where guests can decorate their video background with one of these fun backgrounds! ( Facebook Live is always acceptable too...sans cute virtual backgrounds.)
- Guests can play "Baby Shower BINGO" while Mom opens her presents.
