It Is Your Baby Shower Banner from Practical and Pretty US
If you’re a mega fan of The Office like me, you know how much Michael Scott loves to make an event unforgettable (whether it’s for the right reasons or not). Hosting a baby shower inspired by the hit TV show is the perfect way to bring humor, nostalgia, and a touch of Dunder Mifflin’s quirky charm to your celebration. From decorations to games, here’s how you can throw a baby shower that even Michael Scott would approve of.

The Office Themed Invitations
Start by setting the tone with creative invitations. Here are a few ideas:
Memos from Michael
Design invitations that look like official Dunder Mifflin memos. Include phrases like, “You’re invited to the World’s Best Baby Shower!”
Dundie Awards
Create invitations styled like Dundie Award certificates, inviting guests to “the ultimate party for a tiny new employee.”
Beets & Bears
Use playful designs featuring Schrute Farms’ iconic beets and “Bears. Beets. Baby Shower.”

The Office Themed Decorations
Bring Scranton to life with decorations that scream The Office:
Conference Room Vibes
Set up a table labeled “Conference Room” with streamers and a “It Is Your Baby Shower” banner (inspired by Dwight’s iconic “It Is Your Birthday” sign).
Dunder Mifflin Colors
Use blue, gray, and white to match the company’s branding. Include paper and office supply accents like reams of paper, staplers, and pencils.
Michael Scott’s “World’s Best Boss” Mug
Feature this as a centerpiece, maybe filled with candy or flowers.
Themed Posters
Hang signs like “Scranton’s Best Baby Shower,” “Beets, Bottles, and Babies,” or “Prison Mike’s Parenting Advice.”

The Office Food and Drinks
Keep the refreshments simple but themed:
Stapler in Jello
Serve Jello cups with gummy bears inside as a nod to Jim’s prank.
Kevin’s Chili
A slow cooker of chili is both hearty and a hilarious homage to Kevin’s famous mishap.
Schrute Farms Beet Salad
Include a beet salad or beet juice for a healthy option.
Baby Shower Cookies
Decorate cookies with The Office characters or The Office’s iconic phrases.
Dundie Cake
Create a cake shaped like a Dundie Award for a sweet finale.
The Office Games and Activities
No Michael Scott-approved event is complete without interactive fun:
The Office Trivia
Test guests’ knowledge of the show with a trivia quiz. Include questions about The Office baby episodes, like Pam and Jim’s first child.
Who Said It?
Print out famous quotes from The Office and have guests guess who said them.
The Dundie Awards:
Give out funny awards to guests, like “Most Likely to Overfeed the Baby” or “World’s Best Diaper Changer.”
Guess the Baby Photo
Have guests bring baby photos of themselves and guess who’s who. Just like the game the office characters played at Jan’s baby shower on Season 5, Episode 4.
Write a Sweet Note to Put Inside the Teapot
Make a little corner with the teapot and stationary, and just like Jim wrote the letter to Pam, have your guests write a sweet note for the new parents to be.
Play The Office Scavenger Hunt
You can either DIY your own The Office themed scavenger hunt, or make it easy on yourself and order it from an Etsy shop.
Play The Office Bingo
Bingo is a classic party game, and great for birthday parties, baby showers, bridal showers, etc. Shop The Office themed Bingo games, and of course don’t forget to have some fun prizes ready for your guests.
Play The Office Olympic Games
Bring a touch of Dunder Mifflin to your baby shower by hosting your very own Office Olympics! Inspired by Season 2, Episode 3 of The Office, recreate the hilarity with DIY games crafted from everyday items. Use paperclips for a “paperclip chain race,” stack post-it notes in a “tower-building contest,” or see who can roll the farthest with “mini stapler bowling.” These lighthearted games are not only easy to set up but also a fantastic way to entertain guests while honoring the quirky charm of the show. Just don’t forget the yogurt lids for the gold medals—because every Olympian deserves their moment to shine!
Dress Up as Characters From The Show
If you have friends who are also die-hard fans of the show, have them dress up as their favorite character to attend the party. The easiest character costumes are Dwight, Michael, Andy, Pam, 3-Hole Punch Jim, Ryan, Meredith, Angela, Oscar, Toby, Kevin, Creed, Kelly and Erin.
The Office Party Favors
Send your guests home with memorable keepsakes:
Mini World’s Best Boss Mugs
Fill them with candy or tea bags.
Dunder Mifflin Notebooks and Notepads
Small notepads with a custom Dunder Mifflin logos make practical and cute favors.
Pencils Engraved with Iconic Quotes
From “I am Beyonce, Always” to “Dwight, You Ignorant Slut”, gift your guests a pencil with your favorite The Office Quote.
