Surprise Baby Showers

Expecting a new baby in the family or within your circle of friends is such an exciting event. There is no other greater way of expressing your support and concern to your family member or close friends than by giving out a surprise baby shower. It doesn't need to be that grand and regal. Simplicity in the theme can be really appreciated. However, planning the surprise baby shower can be much of a burden to you most especially if you are conceptualizing it all by yourself and at the same time keeping it as a wild secret. So, here are some perfect tips that will guide you in crafting surprise baby showers.

Connive with another family member or special friend. It can also be that most of your close friends or relatives may know it except for the person who is expecting the baby herself. You can seek the help of the expectant dad, grandparents, or some of the people who are closest to the soon-to-be mother. Their ideas will count a lot especially when it comes to drafting the plan for the event, the food, give aways, and the guests to be invited.

Plan the event with your girlfriends. Since women commonly share the same interests, all of you can come up with brilliant ideas that can be terrific. Surely, the expectant mom will be thrilled more than ever if she finds out that everything has been carefully thought of.

Divide the labor among yourselves. Someone must take charge of calling the food caterer, the chairs and tables as well as the venue rentals, handing out the invitations, shopping for the cake and ornaments, preparing the games, and a lot other necessary items for the surprise baby shower. More importantly, assign someone who will act as the host.

Games, games, and games! Since it is a surprise baby shower, it matters that games should be played. You can do the Dirty Diaper, Bring Me, or the Guessing Games. Prizes should also await the winners.

Say your wishes for the mom. Let some of the guests share their messages and wishes to the soon-to-be mother. These encouraging words will surely play an important motivation for her to do her best in the upcoming laborious birth of the baby.

Put some thrill into the surprise baby showers that you're planning out. Make the expectant mom happy and let her look forward to the most awaited day of her life.
