Planning a Baby Shower is not an easy task! Planning and
organizing a baby shower is very complicated. In this article,
I'll try to help you break down the different elements of
organizing and planning baby showers.
When should I hold my baby shower? A lot of parents these days
are waiting until after the baby is born to hold a baby shower.
It gives guests the advantage of knowing what type of clothing
and gifts to buy for the baby. It gives the new mother a chance
to show off the baby to a large number of people, reducing the
steady stream of visitors to the house right after the baby is
born.
If you don't want to wait until after the baby is born, then
generally a month or two before the mom's due date is a good
time to have the party. You don't want to

hold the shower too
close to baby's due date in case he or she makes an early
arrival!
Who should I invite to my baby shower? Close friends and family
members, the parent's friends, co-workers, godparents, and
others you feel the parents-to-be would enjoy having at the
shower. Try to refrain from inviting people you have not had
contact with in a long time simply for more presents though, its
considered tacky. Invitations should be sent out 2-3 weeks
before the shower. Give guests time to plan to be free that day
and shop, but not so much time that they forget about the party.
Can I invite men to the baby shower? Yes! Men are now allowed in
the delivery room, why not let them in the baby shower as well?
What about a theme for my baby shower? There

are a lot of
different ways to hold a baby shower. Let your imagination roam
and choose something fun but not to strenuous for the
mommy-to-be. Choose the kind of party you can do best. Accept
your time, budget, and equipment limitations. Coordinate your
invitations, decorations, party favors, and food. Create a mood!
Create your mood through lighting, music, and decorations.
Will there be games at my baby shower? Games at baby showers are
optional, but always a fun addition and a good ingredient to a
successful baby shower. You can find more information about baby
shower games at http://www.babyport.info
Will there be food at the baby shower? Avoid time consuming
dinners. Choose a menu with which you are familiar.

Serving a
full meal is not required, but certainly snacks, hors d'oeuvres,
cakes, and pies are a welcome addition. I've even seen where the
guests each bring a dessert or snack plate. Check your supplies
way ahead of time. Linen, silver, tables, dishes. Always
overestimate the amount of food you will need. Make sure you
have chafing dishes or hot plates. Clean and cook ahead of time.
Do not wait until the last minute. Plan seating that will
encourage lively conversation. When serving buffet style, be
sure you have enough tables or lap trays.
What kind of invitations do I send out for my baby shower?

from.
What about party favors and decorations for my baby shower? This
is another area where there are so many options. A simple search
on the web for baby shower favors and decorations will yield a
ton of resources, but if you want to make it easier and don't
have time to sort through the entire net, go to

Other Baby Shower Tips
Buy camera film. Have someone else at the party be in charge of
taking pictures. Chances are, you will be busy. If you get a lot
of great shots, you can make a memento album for the parents
later.
Don't forget the guest bathroom. Add extra touches like scented
soap and lotion. Keep tissue and feminine items in an

obvious
place.
Pay attention to your guests. Know when they are ready to move
on to the next phase of the party.
It can be a little awkward at first. A few close friends
arriving early can create an instant party buzz.
