Planning a baby shower is no easy task! Planning and organizing a baby is very complicated. In this article, I will try to help you break down the different elements of organizing and planning baby showers.
When should I hold the baby?
Many parents these days wait until the baby is born to arrange a baby shower. It gives guests the advantage of knowing what type of baby clothes and gifts to buy. This gives the new mom a chance to show off the baby to a large number of people, reducing the constant stream of visitors to the house right after the baby is born.
If you don't want to wait until the baby is born, then usually a month or two before mom's due date is a good time to celebrate. You don't want to hold the shower too close to the baby's due date in case it comes early!
Who should I invite to the baby shower?
Close friends and family members, parents' friends, co-workers, godparents, and anyone else you think the parents-to-be would enjoy at the shower. Try to refrain from inviting people you haven't been in touch with for a long time just for more gifts, even if it's considered tacky. Invitations should be sent 2-3 weeks before the shower. Give your guests time to plan the day off and shop, but not so much time that they forget about the party.
Can I invite a man to a baby shower?
Yes! Men are already allowed in the delivery room, why not let them in for the baby too?
What about a theme for my baby?
There are many different ways to arrange a baby shower. Let your imagination run wild and choose something fun but not strenuous for the expectant mother. Choose the kind of party that you do best. Accept your time, budget, and equipment limitations. Coordinate your invitations, decorations, party, and food. Set the mood! Set the mood with lighting, music, and decorations.
Will there be games on my baby?
Baby games are optional, but they are always a fun addition and a good addition to a successful baby. More information about baby games can be found at http://www.babyport.info
Will there be food for the baby?
Avoid time-consuming dinners. Choose a menu you know. It is not mandatory to serve a full meal, but snacks, appetizers, cakes, and pies are certainly welcome additions. I even saw where each of the guests brought a dessert or snack plate. Check your supplies well in advance. Linens, silverware, tables, dishes. Always overestimate the amount of food you will need. Make sure you have scratched dishes or hotplates. Clean and cook in advance. Don't wait until the last minute. Schedule a session that encourages lively conversation. When serving a buffet, make sure you have enough tables or trays.
What kind of invitations should I send to my baby?
There are too many options to discuss, but http://www.babyport.info/33231.php has several options for you to choose from.

More baby tips:
Buy camera film. Ask someone else at the party to be in charge of taking pictures. Chances are you'll be busy. If you get a lot of great shots, you can make a keepsake album for the parents later.
Don't forget the guest bathroom. Add other elements like scented soap and lotion. Keep handkerchiefs and feminine items in a visible place.
Pay attention to your guests. Know when they are ready to move on to the next stage of the party.
It can be a little uncomfortable at first. A few close friends arriving early can create an instant party buzz.
