Ciao Baby

An Italian-inspired baby shower full of charm, color, and carbs.

Forget the baby blue balloons and teddy bears—Ciao Baby is all about la dolce vita.

Think checkered tablecloths, overflowing pizza, juicy tomatoes, fizzy spritzes (for the grown-ups, of course), and flowers that look like they were picked from an Italian countryside.

It's bright, a little cheeky, effortlessly stylish, and proof that a baby shower can feel like your favorite summer dinner party.

Give your guests a favor they'll actually use! Set out small glass bottles filled with olive oil alongside fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, basil, garlic, and chili peppers so everyone can create their own custom infusion to take home.

For an extra-special touch, personalize each bottle with your guests' names using Cricut permanent vinyl (or a white paint pen if you don't have a Cricut), then finish it off with a simple ribbon tied around the neck.

It's an easy DIY that doubles as beautiful decor and a memorable keepsake they'll enjoy long after the party is over.
