1. Who will plan the Baby Shower

Baby showers can be hosted by anyone for the new "parents to be." It can be a
family member, a friend, or a co-worker. If it is a surprise shower, then the family can help out with the guest list and gift items.


2. Baby Shower Budget

To determine how much the shower will cost, you will need to know the number of guests, the location of the shower, the menu, what type of party favors, and how many game prizes you will need.


3. Guest list

Organize your guest list by asking the

parents-to-be who they would like to have at the shower. Usually this includes friends and family, but a few close co-workers may also be invited. Get address, phone numbers, and email addresses. Decide if it will be a "girl's only" shower or "couples".


4. Baby Shower Theme

Baby showers are fun when having baby shower games! Be a kid again with teddy bears and stuffed animals for decorations. Or, invite couples and do a buffet or outdoor party. Whatever theme you choose, remember this will be the baby's first party. Baby shower party favors are fun to hand out at the end of the party.  Have

5. Selecting the menu

Although your menu should reflect your theme, the time of day is as
important - as well as the number of guests. Make this a day of celebration for the Mother-to-be or parents-to-be, her guests, and yourself. Consider the amount of time and room available for the shower, as well as any special dietary needs of the Mother-to-be and her guests.


6. Location of the Baby Shower

Choose a location that is easy to get to and will accommodate the needs of the party. Generally, baby showers are held at the home of the host. Have an idea of how many people you expect before arranging any final

7. Select the Baby Shower date

The baby shower is normally around six weeks before the due date of the
baby's birth. However, some mothers are electing to have the party after the baby is born. Showers are held on weekends and during the week. Try to make the time and day convenient for everyone including any out-of-town guests.


8. Selecting the time

If most of the guests attending the shower work, then an evening or weekend shower will work best. Consider a weeknight for a change of pace if everyone lives near each other. If you choose a weekend date, plan your shower early enough in the day for all who must travel to

10. Entertainment
