DIY Baby Shower Ideas for a Joyful About to Pop Celebration

DIY Baby Shower Balloon Photo Booth

I’m excited to share my latest project for Balloon Time: a full, balloon-filled baby shower built around the playful theme “About to POP!” This was more than a simple DIY — it became an entire celebration. We designed a whimsical photo booth intended to become an ABC-style keepsake book of guests’ photos, assembled a colorful dessert bar, and put a fresh spin on the traditional gender reveal. The concept and styling were created with Balloon Time in mind, and there’s a free printable invitation available if you want to recreate the event yourself.

We had an absolute blast putting this shower together. Balloons make a joyful, vibrant theme and work beautifully for celebrating an upcoming arrival. I’m saving this concept for a future personal celebration — it’s that good.
