Whether you are throwing a surprise baby shower for your best friend or cousin or whether you are the lucky mom-to-be, a baby shower is an extremely fun event - you want everyone to walk away from it with a really 'happy' feeling.
Well begun is half done - so planning a baby shower is key to having a great one (as is with all events). Decide the venue and the guest list (you will need help from the mom-to-be regarding this as you don't want to miss out any 'must-haves' and not end up inviting any 'no ways'!) Some like to invite women only or only adults (no kids). Others like to invite all families - there is no right or wrong way - your way is how it should be.
If you know the gender of the baby, it gets so much simpler to plan the theme for the shower (come on, who would not like a powder pink theme for a baby girl?). However, not knowing the gender can be fun too as there is a wide range of unisex decorations and theme ideas.
So once you've figured out the venue, timings and what theme you want (boy/girl/ don't know yet!) it's time to send out those invitations. Although the trend is to send out evites (they help you chasing up the guests for responses without being intrusive), paper invitations are super cute and there such a darling variety available now that one is sure to be tempted.
Decorations range from affordable to really expensive but most of the time, all you need is a little imagination and some stuff to brighten up the place (balloons, baby confetti etc).
Spend some time thinking about the different games you can have - these really do add to the fun.
A cake is a great must for the party (both the edible and the Diaper ones!) Food can be simple and for snacking.
You want everyone to remember what a great party it was and a favor is a wonderful way of reminding them of the event for a long time. Some like candles or personalized edible (or not) favors. Choice is yours. You may want to add separate favors for kids (if they are invited).
Remember - happiness is the most important ingredient in any baby shower. The more you have it, the more you can count on the success of your special event. ENJOY the day!
