A baby shower is the perfect way to show encouragement, support, and best wishes to any expectant mother. With all of her friends and family around her, she begins to feel a little less overwhelmed at the prospect of having a new baby. It gets even better when she is bestowed with many of the items that she needs to get the baby’s room completed so she’s 100% ready for the big day. Baby showers are also a great opportunity to get the girls together for a fun time of playing silly games and laughing.
Baby Shower Gifts to Get Mom Prepared
If you’re the one throwing the party, be sure your new mom has either enrolled at a nearby store or online vendor this will help guests to have an idea of what she needs. An alternative to this would be for her to make a list of what she doesn’t yet have, perhaps a baby crib set, a baby gym, or even a SnugRide infant car seat. Specify the colors and styles she prefers in the invitations and let the guests take it from there! If she needs a infant car seat, make sure that you specify types that adjust with the baby. If she needs a baby buggy, {suggest|recommend|advise} to the guests a couple of types that will {allow|make it easy} for the Graco infant car seat to be set on it for simple transfer from the car to the stroller. A baby gym is an especially practical gift because it permits mom to do things while the infant is being rocked. The most popular types are ones that have detachable carriers.
Games and Fun
Baby showers are known for their goofy games and quirky fun. A game that is particularly popular is “Hush-Hush Word” such as “baby” or “girl” or “boy”. Another popular one is a baby food game where the guests either smell or taste various flavors of pureed food and try to guess what fruit or vegetable it is. One game that’s really fun as well is to pass a diaper around, musical-chairs style, and inside of the diaper is a dollop of warm fudge topping. This one is sure to get major hoots and hollars from the party guests! Don’t forget prizes for the winners; it is suggested that you choose girly gifts like scented bath accessories, fresh containers of plants or flowers, cards loaded with gift money, or a gift bag full of something themed such as “girl’s night out in a bag”.
Basic Décor for the Shower
Decorations are neat, because they set the joyous vibe for the entire party. If you don’t know the gender of the baby, choose yellows, greens, and white. It creates a light and happy color theme! The cake can even complement the party theme; add little plastic clothes pins and diapers, etc. that can be purchased from a low-cost party store. They add novelty to the dessert as well as to the purpose of the occasion.
For the very best baby shower, make sure you’re giving your favorite mom-to-be everything she needs to get ready for her new arrival. The party is also a wonderful chance for friends and family to encourage her and laugh and have fun. Few things are better than everyone leaving the party feeling that they had the best time!
