Baby Shower Gifts

Shopping for baby shower gifts is a lot of fun! Everything is so cute and so tiny and so necessary. It's easy to want to buy everything for the expectant mother, and she probably would graciously accept everything that's given to her, but there likely are some specific baby items she'd really like to have.

The Benefits of Choosing a Baby Shower Theme

Choosing a baby shower theme makes the rest of the planning a (relatively) easy task. A theme gives any party a starting point and provides a way to narrow down the choices of everything from the color scheme to the location.

Baby Shower Invitations

A baby shower is a special occasion and as such, it's proper to formally invite guests. A written invitation is almost always the appropriate method to use.

Creating the Baby Shower Guest List

No doubt friends and family will make it onto the expectant mother's baby shower guest list. After all, the whole purpose of a baby shower is to give those closest to the mother-to-be an opportunity to share in her upcoming -or recently delivered- joyous occasion!

The Baby Shower Venue

Once the date and time of the baby shower is determined and there's a fairly approximate guest count, it's time to select a location. Many hosts have the baby shower right at their home. But for those times when the host's home isn't appropriate, there are other options.

Who Should Organize and Host a Baby Shower?

Traditionally, a close friend of the mother-to-be is the person who will organize and host the baby shower. But with friends and family scattered about, these days, baby shower hosting responsibilities are assumed by whichever person makes most sense. This person could be a close friend, but it could also be a co-worker, a parent, a cousin or other relative, or even someone from the expectant father's side.
