Planning a
baby shower for a mom-to-be can be a huge undertaking but
there are a variety of great ways to plan a baby shower that
will be memorable for all. You do not have to be a party
planning professional to be able to throw a baby shower
party that everyone will enjoy. The following are some tips
that can help you plan a baby shower that people will find
unforgettable and enjoyable.
Personalize the Party Favors
One great
way that you can plan a baby shower that will be
unforgettable is to have
baby shower favors that are personalized. One way that
you can personalize the party favors is to use favor tags,
so each person has their name on their favor. Or you an
personalize the favors with the mom-to-be's name, shower
date or speical message or baby shower poem. This
makes the favors seem so personal and delights the guests
that are in attendance, making each one feel important and
special.
Baby Themes
One
consideration for a theme for the baby shower may be a baby
theme. You can choose a theme based on the sex of the baby
or you can ask the mother-to-be what theme she is using in
her nursery and incorporate it into the baby shower.
Many times, if the parents are using a character themed
nursery, you can find party ware and decorations with ease
that go along with the theme.
Break
Tradition: Hold a Co-Ed Baby Shower
While
tradition has usually made a baby shower out to be a party
for women, why not break that tradition and invite men to
the shower as well. Many times, a father-to-be may feel
excluded from the festivities if they are only for women, so
consider making this a party for both genders. Now a
days they even have cute
new dad gag gifts that are created just for the new dad.
Sports Themes
If you
know that the parents of the baby are great sports fans, it
may be exciting to plan a baby shower that has a sports
theme. Whether they are interested in basketball, football,
baseball or hockey, there are many places where you can buy
decorations with a sports fan. You can encourage guests to
further the theme by bringing
sports related baby gifts and you may even want to ask
people to dress up in sports related clothing as well. This
is an especially great theme for a baby shower if you are
including the guys in your guest list!
Going One Step
Further
If you are tired of the seemingly bland baby
showers that you have attended in the past, why not take the
baby shower to the next level. You can have a baby shower
that is more than gifts and a piece of cake. If you want to
go all out for the baby shower, you could consider having a
luncheon, a mid-morning brunch or even an outdoor barbecue.
Surprise the parents-to-be by having a baby shower they will
never forget.
