Baby showers are fun get-togethers usually consisting of 4 main parts: socializing, eating, playing games and the ideal one of all, opening all those baby gifts! Planning a special baby shower is an important part of creating a fun event for the new mom and other guests.
Continuing on average 2 to three hours, it’s always a good idea for the host to outline a schedule of baby shower activities beforehand so that the speed of the party remains steady.
Baby Shower Schedule: The begin of the memorable baby shower is a good time for socialization. Nearly all of the guests will need to greet one another and speak with the mother-to-be to discover the details of her pregnancy.
Cuisine is always expected at a baby shower and it need not be elaborate. Finger foods are popular baby shower food and guests can eat throughout the entire length of the shower, with a special time, typically near the end, dedicated to serving the cake.
Perhaps the most popular activity in most baby showers is the game time. Baby shower games are fun and there’s no end to the variety of games, either. Many games can be refurbished to make them acceptable for baby shower games.
With a fun group, plan on playing a variety of several baby games. Just be sure to decide on the games about 3 weeks prior to the shower so you know what games which will be played because the host will have to make sure she has plenty of game pieces and necessary supplies. And she’ll need a prize to award the game winners, too!
Guessing the rim of the expectant mother’s belly is a conventional game that is played at many memorable baby shower. An easy game involves filling a baby bottle with jelly beans or q-tips and having each guest guess how many the bottle holds.
Other games include baby Bingo, baby tic-tac-toe, pin the dummy on the baby, and so many more.
When the project is completed, it will be given to the guest of honor as a technique to remind her of this special day.
Project concepts include scrapbooking, quilting, making a video documentary, or making something like a hand-painted floor mat or wall hanging that the pregnant mum can use in her home.
A book of baby advivce is popular as a gift to the mother-to-be. Just get a notebook full of blank pages and pass it around to each person to record one piece of parenting advice, and give the book to the guest of honor.
If men are invited, plan the memorable baby shower as more of get-together, maybe an outside BBQ. The guys can cook the food and assemble the baby gifts as they’re opened while the ladies relax have fun!
Keeping the Ideal for Last: Opening the baby gifts is surely the high point of any memorable baby shower (at least from the mother’s standpoint).
Be certain one person is in charge of recording an inventory of the baby gifts and the guest who gave each. Save the bows, too so that when it’s all finished, the guest of honor can be crowned with a funny bow hat!
So there you’ve it: Plan ahead, organize the baby shower food, prepare the food, and you will host a memorable baby shower that the mother-to-be and other guests will thoroughly enjoy.
