Before you begin planning a baby shower, you will need to look at the different types of showers being hosted today. No longer are traditional ladies-only parties the norm. You have options! Today different types of baby showers are being held for every occasion. They include second babies, adoption showers , Jack and Jill showers and more. Even the guest list has changed as expectant dads, and young children are often invited to join in the festivities.
Selecting a shower theme can simplify your decisions when planning a baby shower. A theme will make choosing your decorations, menu, games and party favors easier. When deciding on a theme, take in consideration the personal taste of your expectant mom, your guest list and the style of your shower you plan to host. Your options are endless!
When planning a baby shower, remember games and activities are all about having fun! They can also help set the tone of your party. Plan your games to fit the style and theme of your shower. Try to organize your ice-breaking games early. Mix-up groups and have fun!
The most common baby shower menu is set in the style of a buffet or small brunch. The menu often consists of appetizers, vegetables and dip, and pastries. A brunch menu tends to be more casual and can be an easier style to host. Another option is providing a sit down meal that can be elegantly catered or made into a simple barbecue in the backyard. When planning a baby shower, it is important to consider the time of day you are hosting the shower, your shower theme and style, the size of your shower as well as your guest list.
