Tips for Your Baby Shower |
Oh baby! There’s no better way to celebrate life, love and that special baby bump than with a baby shower. Whether you’re expecting your first—and want to know what to expect—or are planning a party for your favorite parents-to-be, read on to find out all you need to know about baby showers, baby shower favors, gifts and more!
Like weddings and birthday parties, baby showers are a time-honored tradition. For generations, friends and family have helped new mothers adjust to mommy-hood by “showering” them with baby shower gifts, advice and love. In recent years, baby showers have become coed events for both parents-to-be. Often, a couple may receive multiple showers hosted by friends, co-workers or extended family. One recent twist to tradition: guys-only cigar-themed celebrations!
Think all baby showers are baby blue or pastel pink? Think again! The latest and greatest baby bashes are all about tailor-made themes and custom colors. For example, if the parents-to-be are sports lovers, throw a sporty baby bash. Decorate cupcakes like baseballs, give baby-sized jerseys and play sports-themed baby shower games. Of course, practical parties are always in. For a “Onesies for the Little One” shower, give each guest a plain white onesie and fabric paint to create one-of-a-kind outfits for the baby-to-be. For a girls-only shower, try something similar with a mommy-and-me tea party. Guests and their children can decorate toy teacups—creating a mini tea set the new mom will cherish (and her baby girl will enjoy playing with when she gets older!). There are so many baby shower theme possibilities—let your imagination run wild!
Once you’ve decided on a theme, the fun part begins: zeroing in on the perfect baby shower favors and baby shower decorations! There are limitless possibilities—even if your budget isn’t unlimited. You can splurge on fancy favors, while saving on homemade games or minimalist decorations. Or, you can give small do-it-yourself favors
like candies or mints and go big on setting the scene. One thing is for certain: the most memorable favors and decorations are the most unique. Personalized baby shower favors
and decorations are a great way to set your party apart from the rest.
Now here are a few step-by-step baby shower ideas that’ll help you pull your party off with ease:
- Begin with an icebreaker. Most showers have an array of guests from all parts of the couple’s life—an icebreaker helps everyone to relax and get to know each other. Then the shower can really start swingin’!
- Entertain with games for all. If you have a coed party or a mix of generations, make sure you have something planned that everyone can enjoy.
- Monitor the mommy—and the gifts. Make sure the mom-to-be is comfortable and stress-free throughout. And while she unwraps each gift, help her out by discreetly recording who gave what so she can write thank you notes with ease.
Now that you know it all, you’re ready to get the party started. Just take a look at our baby shower articles or browse our selection of favors and decorations to find easy inspiration. Happy planning!
