Are “Nesting Parties” The New Baby Showers?

According to Pinterest’s 2025 Predictions report, searches for “nesting party” are up 205%! But what exactly is a nesting party? “A nesting shower is a way to feel supported by that village before the baby even arrives,” Gina Jokilehto of Shi Shi Events said. This could include a friend organizing closets while a family member assembles baby gear. Some “village members” can think of creative solutions like a cost of groceries fund. Nesting parties can also help those who are childfree to contribute without feeling uncomfortable. “The mama-to-be gets her house fully prepped and ready without feeling like all of the tasks fall on her to accomplish,” Jokilehto added.
