Planning a Baby Shower

Planning a baby shower for that special mum to be.

Do you want to give a friend or relative a baby shower to remember? Then this definitive guide to planning a baby shower should put you in the right direction.

Baby showers are normally held before the birth of a baby and can be a great surprise for that special mum to be.

Baby Shower Checklist

  • The Guest List

    Make sure you know exactly who to invite and how many people are coming.
  • Venue

    Think about where to have the baby shower. If it is a surprise why not have it in a friends or relatives house.
  • Cake

    The cake is a tasty treat for the guests and can be made in traditional pink and blue for a boy or a girl.
  • Presents

    It is a traditional custom a baby shower to give presents ranging from baby clothes to keepsakes and photo albums.
  • Food

    No doubt the mum to be will be hungry so think about the catering are you going to order the food or have it home made.
  • Timing

    Think about whether you are going to have the baby shower in the morning, afternoon or evening. Traditionally baby showers were held in the afternoon.
  • Decorations

    Why not decorate the place with balloons and banners to add that baby shower atmosphere.
  • Baby Shower Games

    To make the day more fun why not create some baby shower games such as guessing the due date, guessing the gender ( if you don't know already) guessing the name!

I hope this guide to a baby shower will help you give that mum to be the special day she deserves.
