Onesie Decor Bar
Introduction
Some baby shower games are good for a laugh, others tug at the heartstrings the Onesie Decor Bar manages to do both without trying too hard. It’s not just a craft corner; it’s a way for friends and family to leave a little piece of themselves behind for the baby.
Guests get to play designer for the day, decorating blank onesies with whatever they feel inspired to create whether that’s a doodle of a dinosaur, a punny slogan, or something sweet and simple. There’s no right or wrong approach here, which is half the fun.
The end result? A collection of one-of-a-kind baby clothes that are as memorable as they are wearable. And even if some designs are a little... 'abstract', they’re sure to spark joy (and maybe a few giggles) every time they're pulled from the drawer.
What You’ll Need
- A stack of plain cotton onesies go for a mix of sizes so the baby can grow into them
- Fabric-safe markers, paints, and small brushes
- Optional extras like stencils, stamps, or iron-on patches for those who aren’t so confident freehanding
- Some cardboard pieces to slip inside each onesie (this keeps paint from soaking through)
- Drying space hangers, a clothing line, or even a towel-covered table will do
- Plastic table covers or craft mats to protect surfaces, plus a few aprons for the extra enthusiastic
How to Play
- Set up a table or two with all your decorating tools, plus a few example onesies to get people’s ideas flowing. You don’t need a full art studio just enough supplies to make it feel welcoming.
- Let guests pick a onesie and go to town. They can draw, write, glue, or stamp heartfelt messages, quirky slogans, baby animals, or total abstract chaos. It’s all part of the charm.
- If they feel like it, guests can sign their name somewhere small on the back or add a little note. These tiny tags make the keepsakes even more personal.
- As people finish, hang up or lay out the onesies to dry. They double as adorable party decor and conversation starters during the rest of the event.
Fun Variations
Themed decor challenge: assign guests themes like “jungle baby,” “future rockstar,” or “retro vibes.”
Baby prediction tags: ask each guest to add a tag predicting the baby’s future traits (e.g., ‘Future Foodie’).
Voting board: at the end, vote for funniest, cutest, or most artistic design small prizes optional.
Parent's pick: the parents-to-be choose their favorite design and give a little speech about it.
Photo booth add-on: guests pose with their finished onesie for a baby shower scrapbook.
