To be precise, anything can happen anytime as long as everyone enjoys it. There is no right way or wrong way-anything goes well. But the idea should be to make everyone comfortable and make the mom-to-be feel proud and happy at her shower.
Showers are a great tradition to congratulate the new mom and her family, shower her with lots of gifts and blessings. Games are lots of fun and especially good to play if guests do not know each other well. In that case games act as a big icebreaker. Typically, three to five games are played at a baby shower, depending on how much time each baby shower game takes. The winner of each game sometimes is given a small gift from the hostess as a prize.
Basic Tips And Hints:
Although the traditional showers were "ladies only" celebrations, these days men are also being included. The baby shower is usually held about 4-6 weeks before or after the birth. Literally there are no specific guidelines to celebrate the baby party, just plan what you think everyone will enjoy.
However, a well planned and an easy-flowing shower can be something like this:
Pre-shower events:
During the shower activities:
As these are one-time events for many couples, try to capture every single moment with the help of still photography, videography and voice recording. Give the mother-to-be and the guests something to remember and cherish these special.
Generally at showers light snacks and beverages are served. However, as the hostess, you decide on the food, if it will be catered, etc.
With careful planning your shower will be a fantastically fun and memorable event for the guest of honor and all of the shower guests!
