BABY SHOWER HOW TO'S
A baby shower is the time to celebrate new life and share advice on parenthood with an expecting new mom. Anyone from a family member to a coworker can plan and host a baby shower which is usually held in the last two months of pregnancy. Etiquette has relaxed more in recent years- baby showers can now be coed- so if the father to be wants to join in, the more the merrier!
If this isnt the mom's first child, simply plan a smaller party than the one given in honor of the first child, inviting only very close friends and family members. Since the couple has already "stocked up" on baby necessities, there's not a pressuring need to present the larger gifts (high chairs, baby seats, etc). Keep in mind, though- if several years have passed since the birth of the first child, the parents may be in need of some new things.
The theme of your baby shower lays the ground work. It can be based on the nursery, a topic or simply baby. If your family uses the holidays as a time to get together, that might be a great time to host a baby shower. It saves on travel time and costs for many guests and ensures a robust party invitation list!
Now that you're ready, here's a checklist to keep track of things to do for your perfect baby shower!
