Practicing proper social distancing right now is important for everyone, but especially for pregnant women who are taking the utmost care of their health. Unfortunately, that means baby showers — which are typically a really exciting celebration for families — have to take on a bit of a different look [1]. But you don't have to forgo them completely! Brilliant families everywhere have started drive-by baby showers that are perfect for social distancing. They're exactly what they sound like — friends and family drive by the mom-to-be's home and celebrate her with cheers, well wishes, and gifts. This way everyone can keep proper distance but still celebrate this joyous time. If you have a baby on the way and are reconsidering your baby shower, we have some suggestions for how to do it drive-by style in the gallery ahead. Just make sure to also sanitize any gifts your loved ones bring you, just in case!
This couple set up an actual little party in their front yard for their drive-by baby shower. There are snacks, drinks, and lots of presents. It almost feels like the real deal — just outside.
Your drive-by baby shower doesn't even have to be at your house if you don't want. This mama-to-be met up with her friends for a quick shower in a parking lot, and we love the efficiency of it.
You can even decorate the garage door for some added fun at a drive-by baby shower.
Besides driving by, leaving presents at the door for the expectant parent is a fun way to celebrate! We love that the wrappings coordinate here.
This couple kept their distance and had their drive-by baby shower out in nature. They were still able to accept gifts from their loved ones and show them off.
A socially distant photo is a great way to capture the memory!
