🪄 How to Plan a Magical Harry Potter Baby Shower – Ideas, Decor & Gift Inspo

Planning a Harry Potter baby shower for a mum-to-be who’s still waiting for her Hogwarts letter? You’re in the right place, muggle.

Here’s your ultimate guide to throwing a wizard-worthy baby shower that’s equal parts magical and memorable — from themed decor and food to gift ideas even Professor McGonagall would approve of.

🧙♀️ 1. Theme the Venue Like Hogwarts

Set the scene with a warm, mystical atmosphere. Think:

• House banners (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, etc.)

• Candles floating from the ceiling (use fishing line!)

• “Welcome to Hogwarts” signs

• Old books, potion bottles, and cauldrons for centrepieces

Bonus: Add a Sorting Hat at the entrance and sort guests into houses for fun team games.

🍰 2. Serve Spellbinding Snacks

No baby shower is complete without themed treats. Try:

• "Butterbeer" mocktails

• “Golden Snitch” cake pops

• Chocolate frogs

• Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Jellybeans

• Mini cauldrons filled with popcorn or sweets

🎁 3. Give a Gift That’s Truly Magical

Sure, everyone loves a cute onesie — but give the mum-to-be something both practical and enchanting with:

✨ The Sorting Bag

This wizard-inspired backpack changing bag from Green Cheeks is perfect for new mums who need to carry nappies, snacks, and spare socks — while still feeling like the head girl of Hogwarts.

• Hand-drawn magical pattern

• Padded, adjustable backpack straps

• Insulated bottle pockets

• Large zip-open design — because even spells won’t help in a blowout emergency

💦 Matching Wet Bag

Because accidents happen — even in the wizarding world. This waterproof, zip-up wet bag is perfect for nappies, swimming gear, or keeping a spare outfit (for mum and baby) handy.

Both are made to order, eco-conscious, and designed in the UK for mums who believe practical things can still be a bit magical.

🧙♂️ 4. Plan Fun, Wizard-Worthy Activities

Get everyone involved with themed games like:

• “Pin the Scar on Harry”

• Guess the baby spell (baby-related words in wizard style)

• DIY wand-making station

• “Magical Predictions” cards (guests guess baby’s name, birthday, and house!)

🎉 5. Send Guests Home With Themed Favours

Keep it simple but special. Try:

• Mini jars of “Felix Felicis” (aka bath salts or sweets)

• Chocolate wands

• Personalised bookmarks or spell cards

• A thank-you tag that says: “Mischief Managed”

💡 Final Tip:

Make sure someone’s in charge of photos! A magical setup deserves to be remembered — especially when the baby grows up and discovers they had a Sorting Hat at their mum’s baby shower.

✨ Planning a Harry Potter baby shower doesn’t require magic — just a little imagination and a few well-chosen pieces.
