Hosting a baby shower is such a special honour, and picking the perfect baby shower songs that your guests will love is one of the most important parts of the job.
In my opinion, the songs you play at a baby shower should be a mix of both catchy, popular tunes that your guests already know the words to, along with a few sentimental songs that have them turning to each other, going “awwww“.
I think this baby shower playlist does both.
Browse excerpts of lyrics, listen to the songs on the Spotify playlist and especially be sure not to miss my personal favourites, marked with the heart.
