Finding out your pregnant is the best news of all. Well, second to hearing the
grand proposal of a lifetime. After a successful wedding ceremony, hearing that
your love has borne fruit will be icing on the cake. For first time expecting
mothers, it is a difficult and herculean task to search and look for all the
right stuff and equipment the newborn will need. Moms-to-be need to list down
all the things the newborn would need at the soonest possible time so that
little by little, each item can already be purchased and readied for the baby's
arrival. But there could be another easy method to almost have it all, without
getting too much headache over it. The answer is to hold a baby shower party!
The only headache mom-to-be would have is the menu she would have to prepare on
that day which is easier for her.
Now the burden of searching and looking for baby stuff is passed on to the
invitees. But another concern is raised. How will the newborn shower go about?
The best answer there could be, is to have a theme that would guide the flow of
the baby shower. There are many ways of choosing and deciding on a theme. Would
you like it to be based on color? In case you already know the gender of the
baby, pink or blue is used to universally represent a baby girl or a baby boy.
Or baby items like a pacifier or a baby bottle? How about character-themed baby
shower like the Sesame Street, Power Puff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory or the
Looney Tunes? It could also be a time-of-the-day baby shower whereby each
invitee is tasked to bring something the newborn would need or use during that
time of the day.
There are several baby shower gift ideas such as a baby gift basket, a layette
gift set, vital baby equipment, beautiful baby linen, a baby massage set, or
perhaps a baby gift certificate. Each gift idea is unique. For the baby gift
basket, some ideas they suggest is to create your special baby gift basket or go
for the classical clothing baby gift basket where you can never go wrong. You
can also go for monogrammed baby gift baskets, fun baby basket, mother and baby
basket, gift basket for twins, or a pampering baby gift basket. They even have
different suggestions for baby girl and baby boys. For the complete descriptions
for each item, just visit their website and read on to find fantastic baby gift
ideas.
Once the baby shower is finished, take stock of what is already there and not.
For those items still missing from your list, make the necessary arrangments to
have it readily available once the baby arrives.
Just some last few tips for a successful baby shower: hold it four to six weeks
before the due date, establish a theme, write down the guest list, set the tone
and size of the newborn shower, plan the games, plan the menu, create baby
shower party favors, and last but not the least, set the time and location, if
it will not be held in your residence. Remember, baby showers are a fun way to
welcome the baby that might be coming soon enough.
Babies are so much fun. But baby games shower are much more fun since moms-to-
be, godparents, grandparents, and other invitees in the baby shower can get to
play childish games again. Some of the baby game shower that can be played
include Sing It, Baby!, Measuring up Mommy, Here's Looking at You, Kid!, Don't
Say Baby, Baby Truth or Dare, The Seventh Gift, and Dig out the Pins.
Remember how you looked when you were a baby? This game takes you down memory
lane as you need to dig up those baby pictures of yours. Because you need them
to play the newborn game shower Here's Lookin' At You, Kid! Before the party
itself, request all the guests coming to bring the cutest baby picture of
themselves. Upon their arrival, secure each baby picture and assign a number per
picture. During the game, lay all baby pictures and give each participant paper
and pen and ask them to identify as many baby pictures as they can. The guest
with the most number of correct guesses is the big winner.
