Creating the Baby Shower Guest List

Pregnancy is both an exciting and tiring period in a woman's life. As the expectant mom, you will be occupied thinking about a hundred things such as the sex of the baby, the decoration of the nursery room, and the name that is to be given to the baby. However, your friends may be also preoccupied with something like that of the baby shower. Baby showers are in fact the perfect time to bring your friends together and let them share with you the special event in your life.

Baby showers may be thrown either by your immediate family, friends, and even your husband. Now it is going to be the best time to gather together, chat all day long, and keep yourselves updated with each others lives. Wouldn't it be exciting? Well before you think about this prospect of having a great time, the first thing that you should spend time with is creating the baby shower guest list. Who would you love to hang around with? Who would you like to see? Indeed, this can be the chance to invite your long lost friends over and share with them one of the exciting moments in your life and that is the coming of a new responsibility that of having a baby!

Sometimes, you want the baby shower party to simply become just a fun time. Therefore, you must avoid inviting guests who can bring forth the most unwanted pressure. If what you talk about when you are with your co-workers is none other than your pending tasks and all, then as much as possible keep them away from your baby shower. This party is about having a good time and you can't do so if you have these sorts of people around.

If you are getting the services of a party planner, then you might want to ask about the number of guests that may be accommodated in the rented venue. From this figure you can draft the list of the people whom you want to share the occasion with. After finalizing the invitation list, start looking for the addresses and contact numbers of your chosen guests. Always double check your guest list for fear of offending someone. At times, you might have overlooked a special friend or relative and this could further cause a misunderstanding in the future.

Remember this and have fun with your guests!
