What do you think the baby will be called? When do you think the baby will be born? And what advice would you like to give the mother-to-be? You capture that and more in a baby book. Do you want something different than the standard baby books from the store? Create a personalized baby shower book with our Baby Diaries software.
What is a baby shower book?
A baby shower booklet is a book in which the participants of a baby shower write fun wishes, predictions and tips for the mom to be and the baby. You can fill in this book yourself in advance or during the baby shower. Such a book is of course the best if you completely personalize it to the preferences of your pregnant girlfriend or family member and fill it with funny and moving photos.
Questions for the baby shower book
What kind of questions do you find in a baby shower book? That varies per book. With a homemade baby shower book you can of course come up with the questions yourself. We've put together some inspiration for you.
Predict the baby's traits
• What will the baby's name be?
• When will the baby be born?
• What is the baby's birth weight?
• How does the baby resemble his/her mother? And what about his/her father?
Give the brand new mother tips
• What should she not forget in the upbringing?
• What should she not forget to tell her child?
• What should she do during some me-time?
Write down your wishes for the baby
• What do you hope the baby will experience in his/her life?
• What life lesson do you want to pass on to the baby?
• What does the baby really need to know about his/her parents?
• What trait do you hope the baby inherits from the parents?
This is how you make a personalized baby shower book
A personalized baby shower book is of course a much nicer gift than a colorless ready-made book from the store. Do you want to order a beautifully designed baby shower book quickly and easily? Then you use our Baby Diaries software.
Step 1: create a Baby Diaries account
Create an account via our website or the Baby Diaries app for iOS or Android. Think of a nice title for the book and write a nice introduction.
Step 2: write texts and place photos
You decide for yourself what the ratio between photos and text should be in the baby shower book. You might ask all participants to write a story, share their favorite photos, and answer questions about the baby. You can choose from many different layouts and with that you can decide for yourself how the book will look like.
Step 3: Add Empty Boxes
Leave room in the book for photos and other fun mementos from the baby shower. For example, take a Polaroid camera to the baby shower or make a drawing. Thanks to the empty boxes in the book, the mother-to-be can paste these mementos later.
Step 4: choose the colors and fonts
Personalize the book by choosing fonts and colors for the titles, date, location and body text. This way you put the booklet in a style that suits the recipient.
Step 5: share the baby shower booklet with the other participants
Have you almost finished the book? Then you can share it digitally with everyone who participates in the baby shower. Has everyone approved it? Then you can order it.
Order your baby shower book
Is everyone satisfied with the baby shower book? Then you can order it quickly and easily. You can have the baby shower book printed from 24 pages. Choose whether the book should have a hard or soft cover and whether the paper should be glossy or matte. You can choose from two sizes. For 5.95 euros you will also receive the book as a PDF, so that everyone can also receive a digital copy.
Tip: give a baby book or my first year book as a gift at the baby shower!
