BABY SHOWER TIPS
So you are in charge of organizing the Baby Shower, do you know what to
do first?
Follow these simple steps to guide you:
- First thing to do is to Set a Date for the baby shower. Make sure
to ask the baby's parents 2 to 3 months before the baby is due if the date
you have in mind is acceptable for them - this is a very hectic time for
expectant parents, so some dates might not be possible for them. Baby
Showers are usually held from 3 to 6 weeks before the birth.
- The Guest List is next. Talk first to the mom-to-be for her
input, she'll know who to invite and not to invite. If you are organizing a
surprise baby shower, ask the couple's parents and close friends for their
ideas.
- When Choosing a Location for the baby shower, take into
consideration where the majority of the guests will be coming from, try to
choose a centralized location.
- How to let guests know about the shower (baby shower)? The best way is
to send baby shower invitations, they will specify when, where,
directions, etc. - they can always be kept as nice keepsakes also.
Invitations should be sent out at least 3 weeks before the shower to give
ample time for the guests to respond.
