The Perfect Baby Shower
Baby showers are big business and have been for a long time in the USA and are now becoming increasingly popular in the UK too. They are the perfect way to celebrate the forthcoming arrival of a new baby and are the perfect way for friends and family to join together in the celebration of a new life. A baby shower is a party organised for a mum-to-be by friends, family or work colleagues, where they spend time, have fun and give gifts. A shower is normally held a couple of months before the baby is due, though some people have them after the birth. Traditionally, a baby shower is for women only, but it is becoming increasingly common for men to be invited too. Formal invitations should be sent, the name, address, date and time of the shower should be on the invitations along with the sex of the baby, so that the guest can buy and appropriate gift. Gifts given at a baby shower can include a pram, baby seat, baby swing, baby toys, pamper hamper for the mum-to-be, belly casting kit, hand and feet casting kit, baby clothing, baby clothing bouquet - it really depends on your budget. At a baby shower, light foods are served, such as sandwiches, cupcakes, tea, champagne etc. Games are also played, such as guess the date the baby will be born, guess the sex of the baby (if not know already) and guess the size of the mummy’s tummy. All the presents are placed on a table, which may have a centrepiece of a baby gift cake (nappy cake), and the gifts will be opened at some time during the baby shower. Baby shower favours are given to the guests as a thank-you for coming, these can be cookies, sweets, candles and are an inexpensive and thoughtful way to thank the guests. A baby shower is a lovely way for close family and friends to get together and celebrate a wonderful and special time!
