What To Wear If You're Invited To A Baby Shower

Posted by Tandra Barner on Saturday, June 1, 2024

The first thing to consider when looking for an outfit for a baby shower is the venue. According to The Bump, baby showers can be held at a variety of locations, from the host's backyard to a swanky country club. If the shower is outdoors, Mom Loves Best recommends a flowy dress or light cotton pants, both paired with flats as heels are usually a risky option outdoors. If the host is celebrating her baby-to-be in her own home, consider a nice pair of jeans and a floral top or a comfortable romper. A lot of baby showers also incorporate games, so you don't want to be wearing something that is too tight or uncomfortable when moving around.

If the baby shower is being held at a venue, it can be a bit trickier to understand the dress code. The Bump recommends looking at the invitation (if it was sent via regular mail and looks fancy, the dress code is likely fancier) and stalking the venue online to see what others have worn there in the past. You also want to consider if the shower is gender-focused and if so, if the host wants guests to wear the pink or blue or to keep things gender-neutral. If all else fails, pick something that is one step dressier than you considered as it's always better to be overdressed than underdressed.
