Happy Monday everyone! I hope everyone had an amazing weekend; mine was busy but oh-so-good. I helped throw another baby shower on Saturday and I am very excited to share this adorable little peanut baby shower with y’all! I also have a fun idea for an easy baby shower activity incorporating Huggies® Little Snugglers diapers later in the post.
You already saw my “little peanut” pallet sign a couple weeks ago, and I also had some nods to the little peanut theme with a “guess how many peanuts in the jar” (there were 320, in case you’re dying to know) and candy peanut clusters as favors. I made a sewn paper garland and a rag scrap banner incorporating the pink and gray color scheme. Those are some of my go-tos for party decorating because it’s so easy to make them to fit any scheme. I also found some cute pink and gray elephant onesies and had a little sad moment as I realized how much my own baby has grown in the past 7 months.
Let’s have a moment of silence for our babies growing up too fast, shall we?

We had some fun baby shower games, and of course there was lots of delicious food that I am still dreaming about. Sometimes I get excited about parties just for the yummy food I know I’ll get to eat—true story.
In addition to fun games, I also always like to have some type of “passive” activity that guests can do, something a little more low key that they can do at their leisure. One of those was the “guess the peanuts” game I mentioned earlier, and the other is a cute Little Snuggler Notes activity that is not only an easy activity to pull together but is also a great gift for the mom-to-be!
Of course, every new mom needs lots of diapers so, in addition to making a diaper cake, I created a fun and simple activity that would be perfect for any baby shower! I don’t know about you, but I find that sometimes changing diapers can get a bit, um, tedious, especially in the middle of the night when you’re exhausted and accidentally put the new diaper on over the dirty diaper…
Not that I have ever done that.
Nope.
I love this activity for a baby shower because it’s simple to put together and it’s practical—what new mom doesn’t need all the diapers she can get?! Just make sure you supply plenty of diapers and some markers for writing with and let your guests know that the objective is to write either some words of encouragement or something funny to chuckle over in the “wee” hours of the morning, hehe…
I crack myself up.
With four kids under the age of six—two of which are currently in diapers—I have a lot of experience with diapers, and Huggies® Little Snugglers are my absolute favorite for squishy little newborns. They seem to fit my babies the best and stay in place—even as they get bigger and start moving more (my 7 month old is definitely testing them out right now as she’s learning to crawl!). Their GentleAbsorb Liner is a cushiony layer that is great for helping to keep my baby’s skin dry. I especially love the wetness indicator that changes color when your baby needs to be changed; it is so convenient!
For this activity I picked up several packages of Huggies® Little Snugglers, sizes NB-2 from my local Walmart. Even though I’m always on a budget they are such a great value there that I was also able to pick up some Huggies® Natural Care Wipes. These wipes have the TripleClean Layers that I love because they are perfect for my baby’s sensitive skin but still tough enough to get the job done! Mike and I have even gotten in the habit of tearing each one in half and it still holds up to the toughest, um, situations. And although I could have conveniently gone to Walmart’s website to do my shopping online, my littlest Miss and I had a special shopping trip to Walmart just the two of us; she helped me find everything I needed in the diaper aisle.
As I was unpacking everything for the baby shower I had another nostalgic moment when I opened up the package of teeny, tiny newborn size diapers with the umbilical cord cut-out—how do I always forget how small babies start out?
I also printed up a little sign that read, “Leave a little note on a Little Snuggler for a little peanut” to help tie everything into the shower theme.
Then, once the shower is over, just package up the diapers and wipes for the new mom-to-be; it’s also a great idea to put them in a basket that the new mom can use in the nursery.

Live this it's to cute !!! Anything themed is definitely my style I still use natural care wipes love those !!!!
I've always loved the idea of writing notes on the diaper—I think it's so clever and I'm sure can be an instant pick-me-up during some of those never-ending newborn days. If we have another baby, and if I somehow get another shower, I may request that 🙂
Also, I LOVE the garland. Do you sell them?!
I love this theme for a baby shower! We played this diaper "game" at a shower I went to a while back and it was so cute! A lot of people wrote funny things for the mother to read during the night and she loved actually using them once her baby arrived.
What a beautiful and memorable baby shower! This is the first time I've ever heard of leaving little notes on diapers and I think it's adorable. I could have used a giggle while I changed diapers overnight and my husband and kids were snoozing away. #client
Love this shower theme! And you're right…you can never get a new mom too many diapers. I love Huggins, and my twins still wear them.
I definitely could Jessica! Email me and let me know what you're looking for and I can give you a quote. 🙂
I had never done this before at a shower, I thought it was really fun. I would have loved funny or uplifting notes to read when I was a new mom. 🙂
Thank so much Courtney! I agree, I definitely would have appreciated a giggle or two myself. 🙂
Thank you so much Laci! The Natural Care wipes are the best, aren't they?
Thank you Shann! Huggies are definitely our favorite.
This is so cute lol I actually went to one of my best friend's baby shower Saturday but she is allergic to peanuts so this wouldn't have went well. It was probably the most fun I've had at a baby shower ever!
Oh my gosh that is the cutest idea for a shower!! I love elephants!
La Belle Sirene
Such a cute shower, I love the colors! I'm hosting a shower in May and will need to reference this post for inspo! Thank you for sharing!! And we love Huggis!!
Great shower! You're so creative. I've never thrown a shower but have been to several. My favorite game is always don't say baby. I always win 🙂
This is such a cute theme! I absolutely love the rag scrap banner–I'm planning to try and make one for my sons first birthday next month, fingers crossed it looks as cute as yours! The diaper idea is such a good one too.
So many really cute ideas – I love the notes on the diapers. I wish I had a friend like you to throw parties for me 🙂
This came together so well! Adorable job! I love the diaper station!!
I love this theme! What a darling baby shower!
Yeah, that probably wouldn't have been a good idea, lol. 🙂 I was a little worried about that, but I think everyone made it safely through the baby shower without any allergic reactions. 😉
Thank you so much! It was my co-host's idea to do elephants and I just kind of ran with it.
Thanks! The pink and gray were really pretty together, a classic combo. Have fun with your shower Ashleigh!
I am usually pretty bad at any of the "don't say" games, lol. We played a version of that at my sister's bridal shower and there were three or four words you couldn't say, and it was HARD! It does make for a fun shower though!
Thank you so much Ashley! rag scrap banners are my favorite thing ever; well, one of my favorite things ever. 🙂 I'm sure it will turn out great!
Aww, thanks so much! I love throwing parties so that would be a perfect friendship. 🙂
Thank you so much Alicia!
Thanks Brandy! I love when things come together how you envisioned them!
