experience is that it is women's territory. The woman gives
birth to the baby and that might be the very reason that the
woman will naturally take a greater responsibility for the
newborn child. The connection seems to be stronger between the
mother and the child and especially when the boy or girl is
still in the baby stage of life.
Now once in a while a man is put in a situation that he knows
nothing about and when it comes to planning a baby shower that
is one of those occasions. This can be a stressful experience
but it shouldn't be and that is the reason for this guide.
Having a baby shower it not a science and with the help of the
internet you can easily find all the help, ideas and inspiration
that you will need to throw a fantastic baby shower party.
There are a few steps in the process and I will go through them
one at a time. You can print out the guide and use it as a
reference.
The Steps to a Successful Baby Shower
1.Find a date and write down a list of guests to invite
2.Create the invitations
3.Find out what to eat and drink
4.Decide what decorations to use
5.Come up with a few baby shower games
Decide on and date and making the list
I have made this a point in it self even though this step might
be obvious to you. The reason for this is that I know men that
would procrastinate and never get to sending out the
invitations. So what I suggest that you do is that you pick out
your calendar and decide on a date. It is okay to think a few
weeks into the future as this will improve the likelihood of
your guest being able to attend.
Second you need to write down a list of people you would want
to have as guests. This can be family and friend but also
co-workers or neighbors. What ever you decide is perfect but
putting it down on paper makes it visual and the will help you
to not miss a distant aunt or uncle.
Creating baby shower invitations
Now this is the first time that I suggest that you use the
internet. Go to Google and search for baby shower invitations.
You will literally find thousands of websites that are ready to
assist you in making your own invitation cards or if you are not
creative of nature they will sell you some beautiful pre-made
shower invitations. If you are not into using the internet for
shopping you can go to most major bookstores and buy the
pre-made baby shower cards with them.
The eating and the drinking
Depending on the time, the weekday and the purpose of your
invitation you will need to come up with (and buy/prepare) what
the guests are to eat and drink. You can serve them a light
snack or you can make them a 3 or 4 course dinner. The decision
is yours but you have to make up you mind a few days before the
actual event to make sure you can find the ingredients that you
need to prepare the food. Same thing goes with the drinks. For a
baby shower I suggest soft drinks but if you feel that alcohol
is needed you can use that easily.
Decorating the home?
Now I know that moat women like to make a big thing out of
decorating the home to match the event. Making everything light
blue if it is a boy or pink if it is a girl. You can travel the
same path if you want of you can go against the stream and just
focus on having a great shower party.
If you want to decorate but don't know where to start I will
again suggest that you use Google to come up with ideas and
places where you can buy the merchandise.
Have fun with baby shower games
Last but not least you will need to prepare a few baby shower
games to play. This has always been a tradition and it tends to
create a great atmosphere amongst the guests as most people
actually like playing games. For the last time in your planning
phase I will suggest using the internet. You will find tons of
sites telling you what games you could play and you might even
find a few forums where people discuss what game they prefer and
why. It is valuable information that is yours for free.
