A baby shower time capsule is a brilliant activity that keeps guests entertained and produces a genuinely meaningful keepsake.
How It Works
- Set up a “time capsule station” with cards and pens.
- Each guest writes a message, prediction, or piece of advice for baby to read at 18.
- Seal all messages in a dated box or jar.
Prompts for Guests
- “My prediction for you at age 18 is…”
- “The best advice I’d give you is…”
- “Today’s big news is…”
- “Your parents are feeling…”
- “My favourite memory with your mum/dad is…”
Additions
- Include the day’s newspaper or a printout of the day’s top news stories.
- Add a group photo of all guests.
- Include a list of current prices (house, milk, petrol, cinema ticket).
Seal it. Label it. Store it somewhere safe. On their 18th birthday, watching them read messages from people who loved them before they were even born is extraordinarily special.
