The little one is kicking in your belly as if saying "Hey, mom! It’s time we threw a baby shower!" And you know what - perhaps it is. So decorate your place, gather your loved ones, and have yourself a great party! Do you know what could make this get-together even more memorable? A baby shower slideshow!
Even if you don’t know a thing about slideshows, we have got you covered. Here you’ll find a step-by-step instruction along with surefire tips on how to make your baby shower video a crowd pleaser.
Here’s an adorable slideshow that you can create for your own party or as a surprise for your expecting friend:
If you think that making such a cute video is a painstaking process, trust us - it’s not. You can create a similarly touching slideshow for your baby shower if you use our tips and tricks.
Helpful Baby Shower Slideshow Ideas
- Pick a uniting theme - Themed parties are all the rage now, so why should your baby shower be any different? Find a theme that engages you and incorporate it into all the party elements, from invitations to your slideshow. How about a tropical paradise baby shower with exotic fruit, tiki decorations, and a colorful video? Or why not go with something stylish like steampunk? The flapper era? Whatever you choose, maintain the theme throughout to gain the title of the most inventive mommy-to-be.
- Mind the length of your video - This one is a no-brainer. Avoid making your baby shower slideshow too long or too short. The former will simply tire and bore your audience, while the latter won’t give them enough time to savour your special video and marvel at your slideshow making skills. There is no magic formula to the perfect running time of your slideshow, but we’d recommend to make it last as long as one average-length song.
- Find the perfect tune - Speaking of. This step’s importance is sometimes overlooked, although a good soundtrack can really elevate your slideshow. There are no strict rules to what kind of music to choose - it all depends on your taste and theme. Go with an upbeat song to cheer everyone, or try a tender, soothing tune. Songs from children shows can serve as great slideshow music as well! But whatever you choose, consider the lyrical theme. Some songs' meaning might contradict their mood.
- Choose the right images - If you are wondering what to include in your baby shower slideshow, then you’ll probably like the idea of showcasing your pregnancy photoshoot. Choose the best shots from it, blend it with some sonogram pictures of your little one, mix in some photos of the baby’s room you have decorated. If you need some inspiration on the subject, make sure to have a look at these images for a baby shower slideshow.
- Sneak in a gender reveal - Because why not! If you have never considered having a gender reveal party, but still want to share the big news, try to add the announcement to your slideshow in the sneakiest way possible. Make your baby shower slideshow gender neutral at first, only to paint it bright pink of blue in the final moments. Tape the reaction of your friends and family - those gleeful squeals just have to be immortalized!
- Pick reliable software - If you think of a slideshow maker, Powerpoint probably seems like a go-to choice. But consider this - you are making one-of-a-kind baby shower slideshow that should be both beautiful and heartfelt. Can PPT, with its lack of artistic approach, be the right software for the job? If you are looking for a slideshow program that is both easy and powerful, and grants you complete artistic freedom, then SmartSHOW 3D is just the thing for you.
