Throw the Best Baby Shower for a Wonderful Time   by Fran Swift

New mom parties are the best way to show appreciation, love, and friendship to any soon-to-be-mom. With her family and friends around her, she can know that everything is ready for the impending arrival. It’s even better when the mom-to-be is bestowed with many of the supplies that she needs to get the baby’s room completed so she’s completely ready for the baby’s arrival. A baby shower is also a great chance to get her loved ones together for a fun time of laughter and games.

Baby Shower Gifts to Get Mom Prepared

If you are the friend or loved one holding the baby shower, be sure your expectant mother has either enlisted at a nearby store or online vendor to help your guests know what she needs. A different idea to this would be for her to make a list of what she doesn’t yet have, perhaps baby crib, a Graco baby swing, or even a baby booster car seat. Specify the themes and colors she wants in the invitations and let the guests take it from there! If she needs a baby booster car seat, describe kinds that will change as the baby grows, from newborn through booster seat, for example. If she needs a pram, suggest to the guests a few types that will allow for baby booster car seat to be set on it for easily going from the car to the stroller. A baby bouncer is an especially practical gift because it allows mom to do things while the infant is being soothed and entertained. The most popular types are ones that have detachable carriers.

Games and Fun

Baby showers are known for their goofy games and quirky fun. One game that is particularly fun is “You Can’t Say That” such as “baby” or “girl” or “boy”. Another favorite is a baby food game where the guests taste test various flavors of baby food and try to guess what food it is. One game that is truly entertaining as well is to pass a diaper around, similar to musical chairs, and on the inside of the diaper is a dollop of warm chocolate fudge. This one is sure to get major hoots and hollars from the party guests! Don’t forget trophy gifts for the winners; choose girly gifts like bath and body gels or lotions, fresh baskets of flowers or plants, cards loaded with gift money, or a themed gift bag such as “everything for a pedicure”.

Baby Shower Decorations

Decorations are always great, because they set the festive tone for the entire occasion. If you don’t know the sex of the baby, choose neutrals that would suit either sex. This approach creates a fresh color palette and brightens everyone’s mood! The cake can even serve as a decoration; add small plastic baby bottle favors and rattles, etc. that can be acquired from a discount party supplier. They add novelty to the dessert as well as to the topic of the event.

The best showers offer the new mom everything she will need for her new baby. The party is also a perfect opportunity for loved ones to rally around her and have a great time. There’s nothing better than everyone leaving the party feeling that they had the best time!
