Are you over the moon about celebrating the impending arrival of a little star in your life? Planning a baby shower can be a celestial experience, and we’re here to guide you on how to host a “Moon and Back” baby shower party that will leave a lasting twinkle in everyone’s eyes.
The Cosmic Theme
The first step to planning a stellar baby shower is choosing the right theme. A “Moon and Back” theme is not only adorable but also offers endless opportunities for creativity.
Picture silver stars, crescent moon decorations, and a night sky color palette. And don’t forget to let your guests know that you have the perfect celestial invitations to match the theme!
Invitations That Set the Tone
Speaking of invitations, let’s start there. Your baby shower invites are like the opening act of a magical show. They set the tone for what’s to come.
To ensure everyone knows they’re in for an otherworldly experience, choose invitations that reflect your “Moon and Back” theme.
Think moon-shaped invites with whimsical wording like, “Join us as we journey to the moon and back for [Mom-to-Be’s Name]!”

Choosing the Right Venue
Selecting the perfect venue can make or break your baby shower. If you’re lucky enough to have access to an outdoor space, consider hosting a moonlit garden party.
For indoor options, transform your living room into a celestial wonderland. Hang twinkling fairy lights, place crescent moon and star-shaped decorations strategically, and don’t forget a glowing moon as your centerpiece.
Food That’s Out of This World
Every baby shower needs some scrumptious treats, but for a “Moon and Back” party, aim for food that’s as celestial as your theme.
Moon pies, star-shaped cookies, and a celestial cake are must-haves. If you’re feeling extra creative, serve astronaut ice cream or “moon rocks” (chocolate-covered almonds) for a cosmic touch.

Games and Activities
Keep the guests entertained with games that are both fun and on-theme. “Guess the Baby’s Birth Date by Moon Phase,” “Pin the Star on the Night Sky,” and a DIY celestial-themed craft station are all stellar choices. Be sure to have prizes that fit the theme, like celestial candles or mini telescopes.
Celestial Keepsakes
Show your appreciation to your guests with celestial-themed party favors. Mini jars filled with star-shaped candies, moon-shaped keychains, or even small potted succulents in cosmic-themed pots are all wonderful options.
Photo Opportunities
Create a space where guests can capture memorable moments. Set up a photo booth with celestial-themed props like starry glasses, moon wands, and astronaut helmets. It’s a fantastic way to ensure that everyone has a memento from your out-of-this-world baby shower.
Parting Words
A “Moon and Back” baby shower is all about celebrating the arrival of your little one with a touch of celestial magic. From the invitations to the decorations and activities, every element should reflect the wonder and joy this new addition brings to your life.
Don’t forget to capture the precious moments and, most importantly, have a blast creating memories that will last a lifetime. Hosting a baby shower that’s truly “out of this world” has never been so much fun!
