Having a baby in the middle of a pandemic is nothing anyone could have ever planned for, but the reality is that many new parents will be navigating pregnancy and childbirth in very different ways. As we practice social distancing and limit our time around others, celebrating the arrival of a new baby has also changed.
Some couples have solved this challenge by having what has come to be known as a drive-by baby shower. If you're wondering about how to safely pull together a special event to celebrate a pregnant mom during these uncertain times, a drive-by baby shower might be the perfect solution. The following food and party favor ideas will help you create what will undoubtedly be a memorable event for years to come.

A baby shower just wouldn’t be the same without party favors, and a drive-by baby shower is no different. Because these are such strange times, consider baby shower favors that are both useful and timely. Incorporate items like baby shower–themed mini hand sanitizers with personalized labels. Similarly, the baby shower party planner could put a timely spin on the gender reveal party and offer face masks in either pink or blue.
Planning for a baby’s arrival should be one of the most exciting events in a woman’s life. While nothing about a global pandemic is normal, creating a sense of normalcy is key. Embracing the joyful things in life, like a new baby’s arrival, whether with a drive-by baby shower or another other means, is always a great idea.
