First, what is baby shower? A baby shower is usually a girls party thrown for the mother who is expecting a baby. Below are some tips to keep in mind in throwing this type of party.

How to Throw a Perfect Baby Shower

• You have to be sly in planning out the baby shower party. Make sure that your mom-to-be is up to the idea of surprise or just have her know about it.
• When you have decided if the baby shower party would be a surprise or not, it is now time to think of gifts for the mom-to-be. A surprise party or not, you should not ask the expectant mother of what she wants for the baby but rather, let the guests feel free to choose any gift their budgets can afford.
• Need help in the planning? You can ask the people closest to the mom-to-be even her husband for some help with which date and time is perfect for the party and can get the least amount of suspicion. And even get the mom-to-be in at least make up when going to the party. You can make her think she’s just going out for coffee. In inviting the guests, it is best to just ask about the mom-to-be’s mother or mother-in-law since you could not ask the mom-to-be directly. Be sure to include that it is a surprise so they would not accidentally spill the beans!
• It would be the best idea to bring someone over who seems like the person would not make it for the baby shower. Like someone who is in the other side of the country or even the world. You could ask close friends to help with the travel costs since the mom-to-be would surely be happy about it.
• Baby shower games can also be given various themes. Like playing “Diaper Surprise” by passing around diapers with one of them with a “mess”(actually chocolate) inside. Whoever gets the diaper with the mess, wins! Or if a baby boy is expected, you can play “pin the diaper on the baby” which the mom-to-be is blindfolded and as she approaches the ‘baby’ you can squirt her with a surprise which is like changing a baby boy’s diaper.
• Although no matter how much effort you exert in keeping the baby shower party a surprise, somehow she might find out about it but don’t let it get you down! It is not only the party which is a surprise, but what is in it.  Like the unexpected guests or ecen an exotic cake. There is a lot to choose from.

Planning baby shower ideas is a lot of fun. Not only must the party be fun but also in planning it. Good luck and Have fun!

Baby Shower Gift ideas

1. Personalized album. You can ask the family members and friends to help you collect and organized some pictures of the mother from the first trimester of her pregnancy up to the present. You can also include the important details of her pregnancy from the doctors like the result of the pregnancy test and ultra sound result.
2. Wishes Album. Get wishes from the family members and friends. Let them write it in a decorated paper and frame it. It can be a good decoration for the baby’s room.
3. Comforter. Colorful comforter or a quilt is one of the best a baby shower gift that you can give. This is very important for the baby because a new born baby should keep warm at all times. And colorful objects will help the baby in her/his development.

Tips and Easy Steps in Organizing a Baby Shower

1. Assign somebody in planning the baby shower -  A friend or a family member can do it for the new mommy. If you will give it as a surprise gift, coordinate with the family members.

2. Budget everything -  List down everything that are needed in the shower. Start with the number of guest, the place, food, prizes and give a ways. From this you can now prepare for your budget.

3. List down your guest -  Ask the family member, who will be invited aside from the family members. List down the information of those who will be invited especially the names, address and contact numbers.

4. Choose a theme for the shower party - In choosing a theme you have to know if the baby is a girl or a boy. From then, start choosing your theme. Remember this is a baby party so enjoy and be creative.

5. Decide what food to serve - In selecting the food you have to consider you’re the right food for your guest and for the parents-to-be. If it will be just a short party you can consider preparing healthy finger foods.

6. Choosing the venue - Make sure that everybody knows that place where the shower will be held. Choosing the house of the parents-to-be is better and a cheaper idea. But you have to consider the number of visitors.

7. Mark the date - Communicate with the people involved in the planning. Make sure that everybody is available on the target date. It can be a month before the birth of the baby or it can be done after the baby was born.

8. Set the best time of the day - In choosing the best time of the day you have to consider the traffic, weather and the mother’s schedule. Make sure that it’s a free day for everybody.

9. Preparing the invitation - The invitation should go with your theme. Double check all the information in the invitation like the date, time, place and the contact number of the person in charge in case there will be some questions from the visitors.

10. Party’s Activity - Collaborate to all the people involved in the baby shower including the family members. Write down all your plans and activities for the party. Make sure that it is coordinated with your theme. Be organized and creative.

Remember it’s a baby shower party so you have to make everybody feel like a baby. Enjoy your time and have fun!

Time Organization Tips

• Take an updated calendar and make that the central family calendar, be sure that your calendar has large boxes to write in, then start writing down each and everyone’s activities, appointments or meetings on that specific calendar box date,  this will help you see if a family member is busy or not during that specific time. And this will allow you to schedule and plan a quality time with your family.
• Make sure to use different colors of pens when writing down each family members’ activities, appointments and meetings. This will allow you to see and identify a family member’s doings much better. But you can also use pencils to write, so you can erase them if you made a mistake. Use a calendar with a built-in pockets at the sides or at the bottom, but if you don’t have one… then just provide one, (this is just very easy to do) this will allow you to put invitation cards, calling cards, permission slips, etc. inside the pockets. Anything you may need to keep close to a calendar.
• The next step to organization and time management is to assess everything that you have written on your family calendar, then strictly evaluate them and start to eliminate the unnecessary activities that a family member has. Once you have written everything you can actually begin to eliminate some things. Have a family member choose their favorite activity and eliminate their least favorite, if they don’t have their least favorite, then eliminate the activity that takes the most time from the family. By doing this, you can now include a more important activity for your family to enjoy.
• When you receive things in the mail, such as invitation letters or cards, parent teacher conferences or a request to attend a seminar, make a decision right away whether to attend or not, then immediately write it down on the family calender so you won’t forget about it. Then you can now throw that piece of letter or card away for less clutter.
• For your next time organization, make a separate activity plan schedule for your children and for your spouse, it is important to write in the date nights so you won’t get them mixed up. It is important to have a family night all together but it is also very important to have a night out only with your spouse.
• Last but not the least, is for you to plan an activity for yourself. Each and everyone of us needs a time out, so go out with your friends and party or if you just want to be alone you can always go to a spa or read a book at home. Because nevertheless, never ever forget about yourself.
