    • Plan a Baby Shower - Reflect the Personality of the Mom-to-Be

    • When it comes to planning a baby shower creativity is the key. The best baby showers reflect the mom-to-be’s personality. Not only will everyone enjoy the thought put into the planning but the guest of honor will identify with and appreciate the details.

First of all, careful thought should be put into the location. Is the mom a casual person who enjoys spending time at home? Perhaps a small shower held in the hostess’ home will be appropriate. Is the guest of honor fond of fine food? Maybe the shower can be held at her favorite restaurant. Is the mom an outdoorsy woman? A park pavilion could be the perfect setting.

Perhaps the most important items at the event are the <a href="http://www.favorsinthecity.com">baby shower favors</a>. These are taken home by each guest and will be a remembrance of the mom-to-be, the baby and the fun that was had at the shower. The sky is the limit when it comes to shower favors. They can be edible, wearable or decorative. If the gender of the baby is known, the favors can be pink or blue. If the nursery has been decorated, the favors can reflect the theme of the room.

A baby shower often includes entertainment. Some showers have music -- recorded or live. If live entertainment is not in the budget, a CD player or mp3 player can supply background music. The best music to play is the type of music that the mother-to-be enjoys. Other types of entertainment include games. Games can be a great way to encourage interaction among the guests. And prizes are always well liked. Prizes can be generic household items or items that the mom-to-be would like. Does the mom-to-be have a favorite author or entertainer? Perhaps the prizes can be books by that author or music by that entertainer.

The time and location of the shower will impact the menu. Is the shower at lunch time? A light meal such as salads or sandwiches can be served. A shower held in the evening can include a full meal as well as cocktails. A Sunday brunch allows for numerous options for the menu. Dessert should never be forgotten. A traditional cake or the mom-to-be’s favorite dessert can be served.

Today, it is very popular to have “couples” baby showers. This is a departure from the traditional “women-only” shower. Men may be reluctant to attend such a shower but by choosing the right location and invitation, men can feel welcome and excited to attend. party
