1. SOME TIPS FOR HOSTING A GREAT
BABY SHOWER
It’s always a good idea to go straight to the mom-to-be for
this important step in the planning process. You want to be
sure no one is forgotten, and that she is comfortable with all
of the guests in attendance. Schedule the mail out for 4-6
weeks before the shower, and include the mom-to-be’s
registry information.

2. INVITES
There is so much fun to be had with baby shower invites—it’s
impossible to go wrong when it comes to the sweetness
factor. You can choose online invites or store bought invites
that you fill in, but with today’s online resources there are
ideas galore for creating something that’s custom-made and
that reflects both the mom-to-be, as well as the theme of the
shower. Two great places to get started
are Etsy and Pinterest.

3. THEME
When it comes to themes, you can incorporate so many
great ideas. Again, there is much inspiration to be found
online. But don’t forget to go right to mom-to-be. Does she
know what she’s having, and if so, would she like the colours
to reflect the baby’s gender? What about the nursery? Ask
about themes that can be carried through to the decorations,
like animals or fairy princesses.

4. DECORATIONS
You will want to work with your theme for this part of the
planning. You can either choose to buy pre-packaged sets or
you can have some fun with plain linens and table settings
that can be dressed up to suit the day. Depending on the
number of guests, you may need to look into renting or
borrowing extra tables and chairs, too. Balloons or streamers
that mark a special place for the mom-to-be to sit are a great
way to ensure she’s in a part of the room that will work well
for photographs.

5. CENTREPIECES
A great place to have a centrepiece is on the food table. A
cluster of fresh flowers in vases with matching colours looks
really nice. But you can also put in the fun factor with a baby-
themed piece. A popular choice is the diaper cake (save the
real cake for later). You can also fill a decorative basket with
baby-related items that the mom-to-be can take home with
her.

6. MENU
Before you start to plan the food, you will want to be sure to
have plenty of serving platters, drink pitchers, a punch bowl,
cutlery, linens (don’t forget about your theme), plates, cups
and saucers. Depending on the time of day, you will either
want to provide a selection of snacks and finger foods or a
light sit-down lunch. Fresh fruit and vegetable platters are a
must. For added fun, throw together a fruity punch—it’s a
party, after all!

7. GAMES
There are so many great ideas to create excitment about the
upcoming arrival, while also helping guests to mingle and
have fun. A mix of active games and written games are
always a good combination. Again, there are no shortage
of inspiring ideas to be found online. Think of your theme, as
well as the mom-to-be and her guests.

8. PARTY FAVOURS
Consider having a take-away favour to say thank guests for
coming to the shower. It can be something as small as a
bundle of gift-wrapped Hershey’s Kisses or something more
elaborate like a family-friendly beauty product item. For
added flair, make custom thank you labels or tags.

9. COFFEE/CAKE
Baby showers are typically held in late morning/early
afternoon, so coffee and tea make the perfect pairing for the
adorable cake. Make sure you have the equipment you need
to serve to a large group. As for the cake, here is a part of
planning that you can have a lot of fun. You can order/create
a cake that matches your theme or if your mom-to-be has
revealed the gender or baby’s name, you can design the
cake around colours. There is plenty of inspiration to be
found on Pinterest, and many local bakeries would have a
selection to choose from.

10. GIFTS
One of the most delightful aspects of a baby shower, is the
oohing and ahhing that happens during gift-opening. You
can’t help but smile at all the tiny and adorable items, as
mom-to-be is opening gifts and passing them around for the
guests to see. Be prepared with a pen and paper, so you can
write down which gift each guest has given. As an added
touch, send mom-to-be home with a package of theme-
friendly thank you cards.
