Planning a baby shower is so exciting. It brings the family closer to the expectant mother. It celebrates the arrival of a new life and honors the mother for her courage and sacrifice to bring a special baby into this world. Baby showers are the ideal occasion for expectant parents to get the things that their baby needs. Things such as diapers, baby soap, baby clothes, baby shampoo, and baby blankets are expected. Baby shower parties have become very common in recent years in America and the rest of the world. It is a special occasion in the life of every mom and her baby. It is one of the most exciting moments that happy mothers share with her friends and relatives. Giving a baby shower for someone is hard work. It should be well organized and the expectant mother and father should be greatly appreciated. Planning for the baby shower, the cost, location and decorations all are very important things that must be considered in order for the baby shower to go well.







Planning a baby shower can require more than one person, but not always. Decide who will be planning the baby shower. Then, decide on a date for the shower, but talk to the expecting parents to make sure the date and time is convenient for them. Usually, any and all times on the weekend are good because most people are free from work. Decide how long the shower will last. Usually, a shower lasts two hours at the most. Too much longer and everyone is exhausted at the end. Organizing the ever-important guest list and preparing the invitations are very important. Be sure to find out who the expecting parents want to invite. Make sure to have addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses of all family and friends who should be expecting an invitation.







The cost of a baby shower depends on how many people are coming, where it is held, what kind of food will be provided, game prizes, decorations, and invitations. Many people have finger foods and snacks at their shower. Finger foods such as meat balls, chicken salad sandwiches, deviled eggs, and fried chicken is a good suggestion. This makes it easier to accommodate everyone. Prizes and decorations can be found at any party store. Party streamers, balloons and confetti are great for decorations. Gift certificates, candles, lotions, a picture frame, or nice dish towels are also good for prizes. Make sure the invitations are cute and well-put-together, but not overly expensive. There are many different ways to invite guest to a baby shower. For instance, e-mails, phone calls, free printable invitations or self-made invitations that include time, date, location and a phone number to call for directions, are different ways to invite guest.







Choosing the location of the baby shower and decorating is very important. To find the right location, make sure to consider the number of people invited, how much space will be needed to set up games and food, parking and noise level. A restaurant, hotel or reception hall may give the shower an elegant, pampered feel. Deciding on the baby shower theme is a good place to begin. Choosing a theme will really get the creativity going. A great idea for a baby shower is to go with the same theme as the baby’s nursery. Choosing the same theme as the nursery may allow people to use left over materials from the nursery decorations. If the theme is Winnie the Pooh, it would be a good idea to use Winnie the Pooh decorations. Choose baby shower games that are interesting to play. Most baby showers have 2-4 games. Games such as baby bingo, finish the baby rhyme, and guess the mommy’s tummy size is very entertaining and fun.

Now it’s time to finalize everything. Make sure to have everything that is needed for the party. Also, be sure to wrap the prizes for the shower games. Call everyone who received an invitation or go over the list of RSVP’s to get the definite number of guest that are expected. Call the expecting mother on the day of the party to make sure she is feeling good and ready. Put signs near the locations, so the guests are able to find it. Balloons are also a great way to help people find their way to the baby shower. Double check to make sure the decorations, food and games are set up right. Review the timeline and schedule of the order of how the baby shower should go. Last but not least, make sure to have a gift for the expecting mother and a camera ready to collect some lifetime memories.







Good luck in planning a baby shower. It takes patience and creativity in order for the baby shower to go well. The time, work and love will pay off when everyone sees how happy the soon-to-be mommy will be. Hopefully these steps have helped with planning a baby shower. It is hard work, but in the end all the work and love will definitely pay off.
