Mar 31, 2021
- Think about where to have a baby shower. A cozy get-together at home? Or hiring a hall or restaurant?
- Maybe your best friends could help arrange it. You have lots of other things to think about.
- What’s your budget? You’ll need to save some money for when baby gets here.
- Consider who you’re inviting. A traditional all-female group? Or a general mixture of friends and family?
- Try to pick a day that’s not too close to the baby’s due date. You’ll need to have your feet up nearer the time.
- Why not create an online gift registry? In case people ask what you would like for baby.
- Think of a theme: whether it’s outrageous or sophisticated—themes are fun.
- Consider whether the sex of the baby is relevant to the theme.
- Consider a spa day if games and cake aren’t your thing.
- Send out your invitations with date, time, and address, and a clear RSVP deadline. If there’s a theme or a wish list, include these too.
- Confirm the guest numbers with your venue.
- Balloons, decorations, paper plates, plastic knives and forks. Buy what you need to suit your theme.
- Buy a cake or cupcakes.
- Buy baby shower favors and game prizes.
- Consider getting a photographer or ask someone to take lots of photos.
- Choose a fun mix of baby-themed party games.
- Set up the baby shower decorations in good time—you’ll definitely need someone else’s help for this.
- Choose an area for gifts to be placed.
