If you're hosting a baby shower, it's a good idea to use yard signs to tell guests they're in the right place. You can also place a fun welcome sign on your front door, or add a banner to the baby shower decorations to enhance the festive mood of your gathering. There are lots of resources for purchasing these signs, or you can make a sign if you're feeling crafty.

Making a Rustic Yard Sign

It's easy to make a DIY painted yard sign. All you need is some scrap 1 x 4 lumber and a post, white spray paint, colored paint, brushes, and a hammer and nails. You don't have to be particularly handy with tools since the idea is for this sign to have a rough, rustic appearance.

  1. Cut the 1 x 4 lumber into three strips, each around 18-inches long. There's no need to be exact in your measurements or have your cuts be neat.
  2. Nail one of these pieces near the top of the post, nailing roughly through the middle of the board. You'll need at least two nails to hold each board. Nail the other two boards beneath it.
  3. Go outside, and spray paint the entire sign white. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly.
  4. When the paint is dry, hand paint the words on the sign. A good choice is "Welcome to" on the first board, the mom-to-be's name on the second board, and "baby shower" on the third board. Choose a paint color that's easy to see and that goes with your theme or the baby's gender.
  5. Allow the paint to dry and then put up your sign. Decorate the sign with flowers, ribbons, or tissue pom-poms to give it a fun, festive appearance.

Making an Easel Yard Sign

An inexpensive kids' easel makes a great base for a yard sign. The Mala Easel from Ikea is only $15 and makes a great choice for a yard sign. It can even double as a gift for the baby. You'll also need wide-tipped, chalk markers, like Magic Pens, as well as a bunch of helium balloons. This is how to create your sign:

  1. Place the easel where it will be easy for guests to see it.
  2. Create your message using the chalk markers. You can use water to erase any mistakes.
  3. When you're happy with your message, tie a bunch of balloons to the corner of the easel. Guests won't be able to miss it!

Making a Poster Board Yard Sign

Baby shower poster board ideas take inspiration from classic signs you might have made for a high school election or sporting event. All you need are a piece of poster board, some poster markers, glue, and craft supplies such as printable new baby clip art, paint, and printable borders. Two paint stir sticks and two wooden skewers help hold the sign in the ground.

  1. Paint the stir sticks to match your sign.
  2. Use hot glue or wood glue to attach the skewers to the bottom of the stir sticks.
  3. Print and glue borders around the entire outside edge of the poster board.
  4. Write "Baby Shower" in the center of the poster.
  5. Cut out and glue baby clip art around the empty space of the poster.
  6. Glue the poster to the top half of the stir sticks so the skewers are visible and pointing down.
  7. Once dry you can stick the sign in the ground so the decorated side faces the road or parking lot and the undecorated side faces the building.

Door Signs for Baby Showers

Making a Diaper Wreath Welcome Sign

You can make a diaper wreath welcome sign for your front door and then after the party, give the wreath to the mom-to-be. You'll need a wreath form from the craft store, diapers, curling ribbon, scissors, cardstock, a hole punch, and markers. Here's how you do it:

  1. Start by creating the cardstock sign. Cut the cardstock so it will easily fit inside the center of the wreath. Punch a hole in each of the upper corners.
  2. Write your message on the cardstock, such as "Welcome to the shower!"
  3. Open one diaper and wrap it around the wreath form. Tie it in place on the outside edge with a piece of curling ribbon. Repeat with all the diapers until the wreath form is covered.
  4. Tie ribbons through the holes in the sign. Tie the sign to the center of the wreath.

Making a Circle Banner for Your Door

A circle banner is fun and easy to make, and there's no need to invest in lots of expensive materials. For this DIY option, you'll need white and colored cardstock, markers, a pencil and two circular objects to trace, glue, a hole punch, scissors, and some curling ribbon. This is all you have to do:

  1. Choose two circular objects to trace. One should be slightly larger than the other. Bowls from your cupboard work perfectly.
  2. Trace four smaller circles from the white cardstock and four larger circles from the colored cardstock.
  3. Glue the smaller circles onto the center of the larger circles. Allow the glue to dry.
  4. Punch two holes in the top of each circle.
  5. On one circle, use the markers to write a "B." Write "A," "B," and "Y" on the remaining circles.
  6. Cut a piece of ribbon that's slightly wider than your door. Thread the ribbon through the first B circle and knot it in place behind it. Add the rest of the circles to spell "baby."
  7. Tape both ends of the ribbon to your door.

Making a Baby Shower Welcome Chalkboard Sign

Chalkboard signs are great because they can be reused for other events or by the family at home. You'll need a large picture frame - at least 16 by 20 inches, and chalkboard paint that can be used on glass to create your sign.

  1. Cover one side of the picture frame glass with chalkboard paint. Do multiple coats if needed to completely cover the glass.
  2. Once dry, insert the glass back into the frame with the chalkboard side facing out.
  3. Write a baby shower message of "Welcome" in white, pink, or blue chalk on the new chalkboard and hang on the main door.

Banners for Baby Showers

Banners are a high-impact way to decorate for your baby shower. You can use them inside or outside to add to your theme or welcome guests. There are lots of great banners available for purchase, but you can make one if you can't find something to buy that fits the bill.

Make a Pennant Banner

You don't have to be an experienced seamstress to sew a pennant banner. All you'll need are some scraps of fabric, a piece of cord, and a sewing machine. You can paint on the letters of your message after the banner is finished. This type of project doubles as a nursery decoration.

Making a Yarn Letter Sign

Cardboard letters from your local craft store take on a whole new look when you decorate them with yarn, and string them together to create a sign for the shower. You can make the sign say anything from "baby" to "welcome." All you'll need is some sturdy rope or twine, the letters in your message, lots of brightly colored yarn, scissors, and a hot glue gun. Here's how you make this sign:

  1. Hot glue the end of the yarn to the back of one of the cardboard letters and wait for the glue to dry.
  2. Wrap the letter entirely in yarn. On the back, create two hanging loops by knotting the yarn. Hot glue the end of the yarn to secure it.
  3. Repeat with all the letters.
  4. String the rope through the yarn loops you made to create your sign. You can hang it inside or outside.
