This doesn't mean a big celebration like the baby shower, but rather a few small decorations that will put a smile on the new mom's face and stay in the souvenir photos forever.
After the birth, mother and baby need a lot of rest, which is why many guests at the welcome party are not recommended.

The text is very beautiful and fits perfectly with the small welcome party for the baby.

A good alternative to real flowers are bouquets made of artificial flowers or, even better, small gifts. Be it diapers, baby bodysuits or socks - such a bouquet not only looks beautiful, but is also very useful.
Welcome baby cake
Regardless of whether you are celebrating the baby's arrival with guests or not - a cake with cute baby motifs fits the occasion well.
