Baby Shower |
||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Theme: Noah's Ark, Teddy Bears or ABC's. |
||||||
Images and inspiration: Baby, pink or blue, toys, stork, bottle, clothes, stuffed animal, bibs, alphabet, baby book, diaper, rattle, baby blanket or the baby's room theme. |
||||||
Date and time: Two weeks to two months before baby is due. |
||||||
Budget: Thirty to one hundred dollars for a small group. |
||||||
Location: A co-worker, friend or family members house, or banquet facility. |
||||||
Layout: You will need gift and food tables and enough chairs for all to sit and watch mom opening presents. Have theme type music playing in background. |
||||||
Record event: Don't forget to have someone take pictures. |
||||||
Transportation: If the party is a surprise, have the mother-to-be delivered by a spouse or friend. If not a surprise make her feel special and deliver her in a limousine or some theme form of transportation. |
||||||
Costumes: You can make a special baby sock corsage for the expectant mom. |
||||||
Invitations: Theme related, add confetti to envelope. |
||||||
Decorate: Pink and blue everywhere. Baby blankets as tablecloths, baby sock flower arrangement. Theme items such as stuffed animals, teddy bears, or blocks. You could look for mother's day items to use for this party. |
||||||
Food: Finger foods like tea sandwiches, mini quiche, stuffed grape tomatoes, wraps, cheeses, fresh fruit, vegetable trays and punch (non-alcoholic for the mother to be). |
||||||
Activities: Pick a favor: from a basket, secretly label one or two as special and give those people prizes. Guess the number: of pink and blue candies in a baby bottle. Baby food connoisseur's: remove labels from jars of baby food, guests guess what they are. What is baby made of? print a list of items such as; what dogs bury (bone), a young cow (calf), type of macaroni (elbow), part of a clock (hands), the most right answers wins. Weren't they cute: guests bring a baby picture of themselves, everyone guess's who they are. Baby pool: guess when the baby is due. |
||||||
Gifts: Theme items, baby clothes, diaper service, toys, books, stock for the baby. Wrap baby towels in disc shapes to form a tiered cake, decorate with sock flowers. |
||||||
Favors and prizes: Bath items, candles, candies. |
||||||
Follow-up: Send photo's to guests. |
