Roadmap to an exciting shower
It helps to think of your baby shower as having several key areas. This'll help
you plan the event better. Let the expectant mother's wishes be your guide, when
you're not sure about something.
The kind of shower:
Do you want a formal party? An informal one? Co-ed? Girls only? Theme / no
theme? This is where you think in broad brush strokes. It lays the foundation
for everything else.
Location:
This will depend, in part, on your choices above.
Guest list:
Basically, invite anyone the expectant mommy wants present.
Games and other activities:
How do you want your shower to unfold? What happens when? What games do you want
to have? Include games only if mom-to-be wants to have them.
Menu:
Food is a key part of all showers. Consider mommy-to-be's preferences (and
dislikes!). Take care to avoid foods that she's not allowed to have as per her
doctor's advice. Will you have catered food or will you get together with a few
friends and cook your own?
Invitations:
Decide on the kind of invitations you want to send out. Do you want to hand-make
invites (can be fun!) or purchase them?
Decorations:
This will be dictated by your theme (if you choose to have one). Plus, choice of
location may impose some constraints sometimes.
Other stuff:
Decide on the gift registry you'll use. Will you give favors to guests? Game
prizes? You may want to put up street signs if many guests don't know the
location too well.
See the menu below for more information on these areas.
