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!

BABY SHOWER THEMES AND COORDINATING INVITATIONS

BABY SHOWER INVITES THAT ARE TRENDY AND CHIC

The baby shower originated in the late eighteen hundreds when friends would share in a tea party to share in the day with the mommy to be~  "showering" her with love and gifts. Traditionally, baby showers were given only for the family's first child, and only women attended, sharing their wisdom and lessons on the art of becoming a mother.The gifts given to the new mom were very practical in nature as well as handmade. Today, things have certainly changed. A baby shower can range from very elegant to very causal, depending on the mood you would like to set! Friends and family now gather at restaurants, bars, country clubs or someone's home and usually last about a few hours. It is still customary for the mommy-to-be to receive baby shower gifts from her guests as well as give gifts out to the women who plan the baby shower. Today we find delicious foods served, whether a meal or snacks and can range from being a very inexpensive gala to one that is expensive. There are no set rules in today's planning but there are some simple guides for baby shower etiquette as outlined by Martha Stewart:

1. SET THE DATE: This is a time to celebrate a new life and share parenting advice. Get together some good ideas for invites and decor as well as suggestions for gifts that the new mom will need.
2. PICK A HOST:  Anyone can host a baby shower nowadays- etiquette has definitely relaxed in that regard. Showers today can even be co-ed- anyone can join in the celebration!
3. GET THE WORD OUT: Written invitations are still your best bet in memorializing this wonderful occasion. Send them out three weeks in advance to the closest friends and family of the mom to be.
4. PICK A THEME:  You can certainly elect to simply go with bright decor or opt for a theme for the festivities. Keep decorations to a minimum, though~ you want the guests at the baby shower rightfully focused on the belly of the mom-to-be!
5. CHOOSE A MENU: Once you decide the venue~ perhaps it will be easier to meet at a local restaurant or tea room~ if not, elect for easy prep foods which can be eaten at room temperature so you are not running around monitoring temps during the event. There's no shame in potluck either!

BABY SHOWER THEME IDEAS


Should your baby shower have a theme? It's really up to you. You may find creating a theme too much work or not your style, but having one can make the party seem more organized and streamline preparations.There are so many themes to choose from when planning your shower!  

If you know that your shower is going to feature baby bottles, for example, you can look for bottle-shaped invitations and bottles to use for beverages or to fill with candy for game prizes. Even if the theme is as simple as a color scheme (for instance, blue and white if the parents already know it's a boy), it's a unifying element that can simplify your job.
Here are some theme recommendations from experienced baby shower planners and guests: here are some to get the creative juices flowing: (SIMPLY CLICK ON THE TEXT TO BE TAKEN TO THE DESIGN CATEGORIES!)
