Determine the Baby Shower Date

The baby shower parties are meant to make the soon to be mom comfortable as she awaits the big day when all her woes can be finally over. You must understand that her pregnancy could have been tough as hell so why not give her a break? This is her day so she must not be stressed out with all of the prevailing hustles and bustles of its preparation. Or, this could be a surprise event for her so you should keep your secret very well.

The first thing that you must do is to consult the people who are pretty close to her. There is the dad to be, her parents, her friends, and other relatives. You have to know all of the things that will make her feel really convenient and at ease. After all, the baby shower is all about letting the expecting mom have fun and more fun!

After the series of consultation, it is time to plan everything out. What should you think about? Of course there is the question about when the baby shower date is going to be. The date of the baby shower must not be too early nor too late in time for the delivery. As much as possible it must be at least two to three weeks ahead of the delivery date. If it is going to be done on the month of the expected birth of the baby, the mom will not be too at ease because of some symptoms that may occur. More so, a very early baby shower date will not be too appropriate as well. After setting the date, it is high time to draft the guest list, think of the recipe, the souvenir items, and don't forget the party's theme! When everything has been settled, start sending out the invitations to the respective guests.

Here is a clear-cut plan of what you should do when the baby shower date approaches.

Prepare and send out the invitations with the directions for the guests.

Order the baby shower party cake, food and beverages.

Buy the necessary ornaments and party favors. Also purchase the platters, film, and batteries for the video and camera.

Buy the prizes to be given out for the games.

Wrap the souvenir items.

Make follow up calls.

Baby showers are all about having fun. Just make sure that everyone especially the soon to be mom will have a great time!
