1. 💌 Letters to Baby

Ask each guest to write a little letter to the baby — filled with hopes, dreams, funny stories, or loving advice. Slip them into a lovely keepsake box, where they’ll wait quietly until the baby is ready to read them 🌟📬💕. A soft pink wooden memory box, delicate yet timeless, can become a precious home for these whispers of love — and perhaps even for a first lock of hair or hospital bracelet, years later.

4. 🎨 Paint a Flower for Baby

Set up a little art table where each guest paints or draws a flower that represents their wish for the baby: strength 🌻, joy 🌼, peace 🪷, or love 🌹. A watercolor set with dreamy hues — soft blush, leafy greens, a shimmer of gold — like this portable paint palette, can make each petal a poetic message. Later, gather the artworks into a “Garden of Wishes” poster, blooming with heartfelt beauty 🌷🖼️💕
