Top 6 Baby Shower Ideas
If you have been the one elected to throw your friend a baby shower, you are certainly a little stressed. You are responsible for how this memory will turn out. You need not worry too much, because the event should be something that is fun and comfortable for both the mother and her guests. It will take a little effort and planning, but there is nothing about this task you cannot handle yourself.
Here are a few simple tips to consider when you are putting this event together.
1.The first thing to consider is the guests and what the mother to be would want. Would she prefer something with just close friends and family, or would she like something with everyone she knows? Would she prefer a demure and feminine event or just a casual evening with real food.
2.Are the guests going to be both men and women, or will this be a traditional ladies only luncheon? In this time of new traditions, many couples are opting to make their baby shower a barbeque or simple dinner party open to people of both genders. After all, we are there to celebrate both the mother and the father.
3.Picking your theme comes next. Choosning a theme will help you a lot when it comes to decorations and games. For example, if you know the gender of the new baby you can plan baby themes like princesses for girls, superheros for boys, or just a stork or animal theme if you do not know the gender. If you know the name ahead of time you can request embroidered baby gifts with the childs name.
4.Baby showers will typically last 2 or 3 hours, so make sure to pick a couple fun games, but not too many. Remember that you need time for the mother to open all the diaper cakes on the table and say her thank yous.
5.Send out your invites a few weeks ahead of time. You will need to decide what time of day the baby shower will be as well as where it will be held. Some mothers would prefer to remain in the comfort of their own home, or you can hold it at your own home or another special place.
6.Gifts are the next concern. You can include a suggestion list along with the invitations. What your parents have already and what they need is very important to know. If this is a surprise to the mother, you can ask the father about these things. Is this their first baby? Sometimes the most helpful items are things used every day.
Booties, onesies, little hats, shoes, and other clothing are always appreciated. One or more guests will need to bring a diaper cake, also known as a baby cake. These gifts are made of diapers and filled with bottles, pacifiers, and other daily needs. Another great idea for original personalized baby gifts is to get embroidered backpacks with the baby name on it.
