When the time comes for a baby shower, it means time for careful organizing and planning, but do not forget it is a moment of joy. Planning a to do list involves many things to consider, and holding a baby shower party includes many key elements. Check them out:
Funds – This is the first thing that should be considered before throwing a baby shower. Plan a budget and then design the event accordingly and if you want to arrange a big party arrange appropriate savings well in advance, to ensure no last minute panics.
Guest List – No party is a good one without guests, and a party can be ruined with the wrong ones, so prepare a list on priority basis, do not forget good friends who are single, you want to let them know they are still part of your life. If planning to throw a small baby shower try to restrict the invitations but let people know that’s why they haven’t got an invite.
Date, Time and Venue – After deciding for the funds, type of party and guest list, this is the time to decide for the date, time and venue. Make it at home, if space allows otherwise booking beautiful venue is the answer, but beware, if you have a particular place in mind, book well in advance! Try to look for the time, date and venue that suit all and do not forget to keep an element of surprise to add to the excitement (maybe not letting on about the theme for example).
Invitations – Design invitations carefully and for this, get help from people who are professional designers if you want a quality finish. Make it colorful, based on a theme, and do not forget to put down vital information. Today, hundreds of styles and designs are available to make invitations online, if you do not have the budget for professional work.
Menu – After deciding upon the date, time and venue, decide upon the most important thing to tie everything together, the menu. Decide the menu depending upon the season and time and do not forget to include vegetarian options if required. Consider whether the food has to be ordered, catered or home cooked. Serve appetizers and side meals in order to make the party enjoyable and memorable. Make or order a beautiful and colorful cake.
Decorations – It is up to parents whether they want to create them or purchase them, but make sure to match the overall color scheme and design. Use flowers, balloons and soft toys to decorate the place as this will make all guests feel like they are at a baby shower, rather than just a generic party.
Entertainment Activities – Plan some activities and games for guests and make the party colorful and cheerful. Ask one of the friends to host the activities or hire a professional. Plan the activities carefully keeping in mind to allow the guests enjoy their food too. Activities could include dancing or board games.
