If you are planning to throw a baby shower this holiday season, boy, are you in luck! Amy from Paperlicious, has generously offered this 'snowflake" holiday baby shower collection to our readers for free. These coordinate beautifully with the holiday baby shower invitations she sells on her site.

The printables collection includes: party circles, tented cards (that you can add your own text to), cupcake wrappers, and a baby shower banner (that you can also add your own text to). Look how adorable they are!!

When Tali from A Party Studio contacted me about giving away the sweet Baby Shower Bingo Game she designed (in both a girl version and a boy version), I jumped at the chance.

I like activities at baby showers. I think they bring the guests together and add some unexpected fun. And now, if you're throwing a shower, you don't even have to pay for one because these bingo cards are absolutely free! Thank you, Tali!

A new trend I've noticed on our site is rockstar parties for little kids (even not-yet-born kids). Of course I had to show off these rad parties! I love all the energy and excitement. Take a look...

Kara T's Our Little Rockstar Is  2 party

When I first saw Donna E's Blush and Bashful Baby Shower on our site I was blown away by all the details, especially this homemade month-by-month onesie bunting she used to decorate.

Donna put together this tutorial on how she made it and she has kindly let me repost it, so thank you, Donna! What a fun way to decorate a shower.

Just like the FREE sophisticated and feminine party printables we posted last week, here's the male version. These printables would work great for a birthday, boy baby shower, mustache bash, or any other kind of "manly" event you can think of!

This gorgeous collection, designed by Kirsten of Embellish includes: invitations, party circles, tented cards, party tags, cupcake wrappers, favor tags, drink flags, water bottle labels, a "let's party" banner, and a "party this way" sign.

When I saw these letter garlands Chelsea A made for her Modern Meets Vintage Baby Fete, I nearly flipped. I've seen many garlands before but never anything like this, and how sweet that the letters spell out lullabies.

I'm always drawn to unusual invitations. I think they set a really interesting tone for the whole party. Here's some of my favorites from our main site. See what you think...

Abbey H's The Big 3 Birthday Party

I've been so inspired reading about Chris Nease's work with Operation Shower on her blog, that I had to call her up personally to talk to her about it. Chris is the creative mind behind Celebrations at Home, one of my must-read party and entertainment blogs.

Operation Shower is a nonprofit organization that throws baby showers for pregnant or expecting military families. Chris has helped coordinate two showers for them in the DC area along with Amy Belle Isle from Stem Parties, who is Chief Event Organizer. The latest shower was held in October at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and boy did they do a great job!

What is the new hot color? Purple! In the last two months we have seen a slew of purple parties on our site... birthdays, showers, even Halloween parties.  Why, you might ask? Because purple's fresh and unexpected and a nice alternative to pink. Plus, it looks great with an accent color. See for yourself...

Corrie S's Everything Purple Baby Shower

From Melangerie, comes this adorable "Dirty Laundry" Clothes Line Guest Book Kit, perfect for any bridal shower.

Guests get to air their bride-to-be's "dirty laundry" by jotting down stories, notes, and well wishes on cards shaped as t-shirts, tank tops, pants, and skirts, then hang them on a clothesline with mini clothespins.  How cute!
