When it comes to a baby shower, there's nothing quite as hot and sizzling as a baby-q! Whether you're celebrating the newest addition to your family or a good friend's bun in the oven, this fun and spicy party theme is guaranteed to turn up the heat.

What is a baby-q?

A baby-q is a barbeque-themed baby shower, typically held outdoors. An essential part of a successful baby-q is the bold and flavorful food. Think spicy meatballs, noodles smothered in a zesty dressing, sauteed veggies, and juicy burgers topped with gooey melted cheese. And, of course, you can't forget the decadent desserts that will keep your guests coming back for more! Deep dish caramel apple pie, rich flan, decadent chocolate brownies—these are just some of the delicious treats that are guaranteed to get everyone fired up!

Online baby-q invitations

Last-minute invitations won't cut the mustard, so set your baby-q off to a flipping good start by extending an invite to your guests with a custom-made baby-q invitation from our library of designs. Using our customization tool that makes designing a breeze, you'll have your baby-q shower invite reaching your guests in no time! Not only are our online invitations easy to customize, but they also come equipped with a built-in RSVP tracker, so you won't find yourself in a pickle over headcount!

Add a touch of whimsy to your invitation by including some BBQ-related puns in your baby-q invitation wording. With witty wordplay and playful humor, these clever quips are sure to get your guests excited for the festivities ahead.

  • Sun's out, buns out.
  • This is un-grill-ievable!
  • We're going to flip with excitement!
  • Cooking up a barbe-cutie.
  • A bun in the oven and steaks on the BBQ.

These BBQ puns are guaranteed to get your guests eager and excited for some fantastic food, good company, and great fun!

Activities for your baby-q shower

While you're grilling up a storm, be sure to invite all of your guests to participate in some outdoor games and activities. Get everyone involved in lawn darts or yard Yahtzee before moving on to water balloon challenges and other fun outdoor activities. End the night with some sweet treats, such as fruit-filled s'mores toasted over a campfire or fresh watermelon slices topped with mounds of whipped cream!

Baby-q decorations

A baby-q is about celebrating new life, so it's important to channel all of your excitement into your baby-q decorations. Opt for pastel colors and adorable patterns in everything from the plates and napkins to the banners and balloons. Consider displaying bouquets of charming flowers to capture the excitement of fresh new life. And maybe even scatter whimsical photo props around the yard so guests can capture some amusing selfies. No matter what you choose, make sure that your decorations reflect your endless joy at welcoming this little one into the world!
