Perfect Baby Shower Invitations And Tips For Your First Shower
Whether you’ve volunteered or been appointed to throw a baby shower, it can be a little daunting if this is your first shower. Don’t fret; with just a few simple tips you’ll be a master and have your guests – including the guests of honor – thanking you for a great event.
The baby shower invitation
Every great shower starts with a great baby shower invitation. There are many options for your baby shower invitation. The choices are endless; choose an adorable baby animal or a stylish printed baby shower invitation based on what the guest of honor would like. It is a party for Mom and dad to be so make sure you get some input from them.
Your invitation should also include all relevant information and also some idea about the planned activities and menu. As the nature of baby showers evolves, hosts are now having co-ed showers for both parents and even inviting children. Make sure all guests know exactly what your plan is so they can come prepared.
Shower games
Traditionally, shower games have been a bit hokey and you might want to consider updating the standard fare. The most important idea behind shower games is to break the ice and get guests talking and mingling. While the focus is the Mom-to-be, there should still be some interaction between guests. If the shower is going to include different groups of friends who may not know each other, consider an ice-breaker type game and see where that leads you. Don’t force the games if guests are mingling and having a good time, but have a plan if it turns out that you need and ice breaker.
Menu and décor
Once you have settled on a baby shower invitation carry that theme and style through to your décor. If you already know the gender of the baby, pick some cute pink or blue accents to highlight your baby shower. If the gender is still a secret, the sky is the limit when it comes to color and decorations. Don’t forget to let Mom (and dad) to be have a say in the decoration.
Your baby shower menu will depend greatly on the time of day. Almost anything is acceptable for a baby shower. A baby shower brunch can be a simple and elegant affair. Or you might opt for an evening event with snacks or a full dinner. There is no right or wrong answer. Even a cocktail – or mocktail – party might be fun with colorful drinks and yummy snacks to celebrate baby.
Keep the memories
It will all be over in a flash, so make sure you solicit a guest or hire a professional to take some photos. Get lots of candid shots and some posed as well. You can put photos together for a scrapbook or add to the guest book. Speaking of guest book, make sure you have one ready so guest can make a note for Mom. Make sure you’ve left enough room for guests to leave some words of wisdom and best wishes for the new family.
Planning a wedding shower can be easy if you just follow a few simple steps. You can be a gracious hostess with just a few tricks. Mom and Dad-to-be and your guests will be delighted by your great sense of style and fantastic party-planning skills.
