A baby showers is given in anticipation of the newborn baby. Close friends of the future mother to be normally give the shower. This event is mainly for gift giving which could make it awkward for a family member to host the baby shower.
This celebration is usually done 4 to 6 weeks before the birth or right after the baby is born.
Invitations should represent the birth of the new baby. Invitations can be bought from many card companies. To make it special you should decide on a design and then customize it.
The invitation should have the name of the person to be invited, the date of the baby shower, where it will take place, a contact number of the host, the gender of the baby and the theme of the shower.
The invitations need to be out a month to a month and half prior to the shower. This allows everyone time to plan for that day and pick the best gift.
The shower should have a theme. If you know the gender of the baby, it will help in your decision on the theme since there are many to choose from.
If it is a boy, a great example of a good theme would be boats. You can decorate with all types of boats both large and small. A sailboat in The punch bowl used for the cocktail would make a great centerpiece. One of the most important things for theme is the baby's name. It should stand out for the occasion. One idea is to put the name on an inflatable pool float.
If the theme is for a girl, a cookie would work. This theme is based on a poem that tells how little girls are made from sugar and spice and everything nice. Set it up as a tea party with different types of cookies around along with cookie recipes and jars containing various ingredients like chocolate chips, peanuts and gum drops. You can use frosting to put the girls name on a large cookie.
If the parents have not picked a name for the baby? Here is another great idea. The baby shower can help the parents decide on the baby's name. Decorate the place with letters of the alphabet. Have games that will help people think of possible names.
Some parents don't want to know what sex the baby will be. They prefer it be a surprise. A great idea is having an ultrasound brought in so everyone there will be able to find out what the baby gender is.
Another great game to play is the Girl or Boy Quiz. The questions are designed to determine the sex of the baby as the guest answer.
