      Conclusion

      Introduction

      If your family member, good friend or co-worker is expecting a baby soon, you’re of course feeling very excited and happy for them. As you eagerly help them pick out everything from baby names to paint colors for their new nursery, there is one important event to consider that requires advance planning and some creativity. This event is of course the baby shower.

      Traditionally, a baby shower is thrown by a close friend or female family member who is not the mother of the mom-to-be. These days baby showers are frequently thrown by more than one hostess, which helps to lessen the financial burden and time spent for any one individual hostess. Some moms-to-be find themselves being honored by more than one baby shower. For example, a soon-to-be mom may be given a baby shower at her place of employment by her co-workers, as well as a more personal baby shower at the home of a close friend or family member.

      If you’re reading this baby shower guide, you are most likely planning to host a baby shower for someone and looking for some guidance. Whether you volunteered to throw a baby shower or someone asked you to do so, throwing a baby shower can be a fun but rather daunting task. The birth of a baby is one of the most momentous occasions that can happen in life, so you want the baby shower to be fun, creative and completely worthy of the exciting new life event. This may sound like a lot of pressure, but don’t worry. It’s absolutely possible to throw an amazing baby shower without becoming overwhelmed or going broke.

      Baby showers are joyous occasions, but also involve a lot of planning and work. If you’re looking for a fun, easy to follow, step-by-step guide to planning and hosting a baby shower, look no further--you’re definitely in the right place. By the end of this guide you’ll be well on your way to hosting a fun, special, and best of all low-stress baby shower for your friend or loved one.

      This guide includes everything from theme ideas, decorations, games and activities to menu planning advice and baby shower etiquette. There’s even a handy checklist at the end to make sure you stay on track and organized while planning the baby shower.

      Whether you are planning a low-key, casual baby shower or a dressier, more formal brunch or dinner, there are tips here that will help you all along the way. The mom-to-be and her friends and family will be thrilled with your thoughtfulness, and you will feel the pride of being an integral part in celebrating this special time in her life.
