Baby shower is definitely an exciting moment because it's a celebration of life. Hence, it is very important to make everything perfect from the invitation, venue to the menu. And here is a handy planning guide to make your memorable event perfect.
Select the perfect date and time.
Baby shower is usually held during the last two months of pregnancy. However, there are many couples prefer to celebrate until the baby arrives. So, better consult the guest of honor or the couple which is they like the most, either before or after birth of the newest member of the family.
Choose the perfect location.
Think what the parents-to-be would appreciate the most. If they like everything to be intimate and private, then at home is the most ideal. But if they have a bigger budget and you need to accommodate a larger guest list, then better hold the event at a restaurant.
Think of a lovely theme.
Thinking of a perfect theme ahead of time can help you beautifully organize everything from the invitations to decorations. Hence, you should think of a theme that will perfectly match the mom's personality. You can also choose a theme that will reflect the baby's gender. But if you don't know the gender yet, then you can choose a safe setting like a bowtie and butterflies theme.
Send the invitations early.
According to celebrity party planner Mindy Weiss, guests should receive the invitations six weeks before the shower. So, they will have plenty of time to prepare and shop for gifts.
Finalize the menu and the décor.
You should finalize these details three weeks before the event. Think of the expectant, what are her favorites. Check also if you have guests with allergies just so you keep everyone in the party happy but safe. For the decorations, you can purchase non-perishable decorations ahead of time and wait until the day of the shower to buy perishable decors such as flowers.
Think of the agenda.
You should think of fun activities to create a fun flow of the programme that will keep the guests entertained. You could include trivia as well as knowledge, racing and parlor games. The key here is to keep everyone entertained and engaged.
Just follow these tips and you will surely wrap the shower, which will be remembered by the couple and the guests for a lifetime.
