What is a Nesting Party?
A nesting party is a fun, practical gathering where loved ones help parents-to-be prepare their home for the arrival of their baby. Think of it as a mix between a baby shower and a productive prep day — Picture a whirlwind of organizing, assembling, and high-fiving while you celebrate the exciting adventure ahead!
Planning a Nesting Party
You probably want to chose a date for the party that is about a month or two before the due date, ( you don’t want to be giving birth during the party!)
Send out some invitations, but you can keep it casual. Invite close friends and family.
For the party you will want to set an agenda outlining what tasks need doing, like organizing the nursey, assembling furniture or stocking up on essentials.
Here’s some ideas for some nesting party invitations from Zazzle.
Task list for your nesting party
You will want to create a task list for your nesting party, here’s an example, which you can print out if you want to:
Party vibes - keeping it fun
Make it a fun occassion, perhaps with some baby themed trivia games. Keep food and drinks simple with finger foods and refreshing drinks. Have a playlist of soothing music to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

Special touches for your party
You could have some badges or maybe aprons for your guests that say things like ‘Team Baby Prep’. You could even set up some props in a photo corner, so you will have some fun memories of the event.
If you are hosting this for the parents to be, end the party with some toasts, and maybe a small gift for the parents to be for them to enjoy before the arrival.
