Exciting baby shower party ideas

As the hostess, you want to create a precious, memorable baby shower party for a loved one. It can certainly be a great experience to organize this milestone event in the mom-to-be's life. And she's the center of the baby shower party - the event is all about pampering her and making her feel special. You want to be sure that you take care of all details appropriately - be it the food, or the favors, invitations, shower games and everything else.

Particularly if you're new to hosting these events, it can make your life easier to review some of the core ideas behind organizing a baby shower party. Of course, be sure to adapt and modify all ideas to suit your tastes, that of the mom-to-be and your unique circumstances.

How do you choose invitations for a baby shower party? Actually, they can be very diverse in designs, wordings and feel. The common denominator is that they should reflect the true spirit of these events - which is the joy and expectations of the parents-to-be and the hope, the fresh beginnings a new life brings. Choose invites in line with your theme, if you're having one. See the page on invitations for more ideas.

Do you need to serve full meals at a shower party? That depends on the time of your event. Unless it is held at mealtimes, it is not necessary to serve full meals. Snacks, finger foods, etc are perfectly fine.

Can you hold a baby shower party for babies other than the first? Opinion is divided on this issue. Some feel that with the first shower, the parents have already received most of what they need so there's no necessity for subsequent ones. But many others emphasize that every baby is special and needs to be celebrated. We tend to believe the latter, because these events are mainly about making mommy feel special!

Should you always have favors for guests at a baby shower party? This varies widely across regions. In some places, it is considered almost rude not to give out favors. While in other regions, they are just not expected. So go by local practices; check with friends who've been to such events locally before you decide.
