Baby Shower F.A.Q.Everything you need to know about Baby Showers What is a baby shower?A Baby shower is party thrown for women who are pregnant and carries its name from the “showering” of presents and love for the mom to be and her expectant child. Traditionally, the baby shower was only held for the first child, but now it became more common to have a baby shower for every baby since all babies are special! Baby showers are also given for the adopted babies. Who throws a baby shower?Anyone can throw a baby shower, but usually it’s a family member or a close friend who throws a baby shower for the mom-to-be. When to have a baby shower?Most baby showers are usually held one to two months before the baby is born. Some people have a baby shower after the baby is born due to cultural or other beliefs. Where to have a baby shower?Usually baby shower is held at home or at a restaurant. Who comes to a baby shower?It's always better to consult with the mom-to-be when you are creating a guest list. This way you avoid forgetting to invite someone important for the mom-to-be. If you are throwing a surprise baby shower you might want to check with someone close to the mom-to-be with putting together the guest list. Traditionally only women were invited to a baby shower. Today, couple baby showers are becoming more popular and men enjoy baby showers as much as women. When should I send out the invitations?Send your invitations about two to three weeks before the baby shower party.

What do you do at a baby shower?You can set a theme for a baby shower party, and then you can match your food, decorations and activities to that particular theme. Plan your activities in advance. Typical activities at a baby shower include food, games, opening of the presents. Don’t forget to buy gifts for game winners! What food to serve at a baby shower?Planning a menu is an important part of a baby shower party. You want your guests and mom-to-be to enjoy the food.
