2025 is just around the corner, and it’s bringing many trends our way – and new parents won’t stay immune to some of them. According to Pinterest’s trend forecast for the next year, “nesting parties” will be going stronger than ever, and they’re all about helping new parents prepare for the next chapter of their lives.
Pinterest describes “nesting parties” as “the baby shower as it should have always been”, but what does set these two concepts apart? Unlike traditional baby showers, “nesting parties” don’t put gift-giving front and center, and they’re all about helping parents prepare their homes for the baby’s arrival.
“Traditional baby showers are about the gifts and the guests. Nesting parties are about helping new parents prepare for the postpartum period, setting up their homes for baby’s arrival with freezer-friendly meals, diaper bouquets, and baby cabinet organization,” reads Pinterest’s press release.
What separates “nesting parties” from “baby showers” is the love language involved. While baby showers rely on gifts, “nesting parties” are all about acts of service and helping the expecting parents check tasks off their lists, giving them a helping hand when they need it the most.
In addition to searching for nesting party ideas, Pinterest users have also been looking for specific terms connected to this trend. “Diaper bouquet” emerged as a popular gift idea for new parents, while baby cabinet organization and freezer-friendly meals also experienced a boom in searches.
