Make Your Baby Shower Party A Party To Remember
We all know how difficult it can be to plan just a normal
birthday party, but how do plan one of the most important
celebrations a soon mother to be will have.
Who Organises A Baby Shower
It is most common for a close friend or family member to throw
the baby shower party, but the traditional roots of a baby
shower are that a friend other then a family member would throw
the party.
However in today's modern world it is quite common that members
of the family host the party. This makes it much easier on the
mother to be as it is one less thing she needs to worry about.
Preparation - The Most Critical Steps
One of the biggest decisions that will need to be made is
whether to hold the baby shower before the birth of the baby, or
after the birth of the baby. Also the mother to be may want to
wait until her baby is born and healthy before holding a baby
shower.
This is also very common and something that needs to be
considered. The baby shower is usually thrown at the hoster's
house or at a local venue area.
Invitations - Who is going to come
Without invitations to your baby shower party, it is going to be
a pretty quite party.
There are many different types of invitations that you can use
for your baby shower party, but it is best to pick a style of
invitation that matches that of the party.
It is best to have your invitations out at least 3 weeks prior
to the party but preferably 6 weeks to ensure you give enough
time for people to plan and attend.
Just recently I was invited to a baby shower party but due to
not enough notice, we just happened to be moving houses on the
same weekend so unfortunately couldn't attend. As you can see it
is important to give enough notice.
Party Themes and Games - Spiderman or Barby?
Of course they are just two examples of themes but there are
literally hundreds of themes you can choose from, and you don't
even have to use a theme, but it can add extra excitement to the
party.
There are many popular games that can be played at baby shower
parties, some of the more common ones are when everyone writes
down a prediction for the baby's future and places it in a hat,
they are then pulled out one by one and read out aloud.
Also it is common for guests of a baby shower party to give
items which are going to help the expecting mother with her
first year of being a mother. Items such as baby blankets, baby
toys, tedious the list goes on and on.
Last but not least, this is a celebration of happiness and fun,
so enjoy your elf in the celebration of life.
