The best baby showers are well planned ones. You have to consider all the aspects ahead of the actual day. In case you plan to make it a surprise, ensure that all the invitees are the ones she herself would have loved to invite. Be careful not to invite someone who she would not want to have. At the end of the day, baby showers are meant to be for the moms to-be and so she must be very comfortable.

You have to first finalize the guest list. After that you must make a list of all that you have to prepare for the D-day. You have to decide on whether you will be arranging to make home food or arrange for outdoor catering. In case you choose to go for home-made food you must be an expert as it is difficult to do the whole thing on your own, more so if your guest list is long. If you decide to hire a caterer, you must find a good caterer who is experienced and has good recommendations. You have to decide on the food menu and whether you will go for the buffet meal that is self-service or a set menu. If you find this too much then you can settle on finger snacks, nibbles and drinks. You can also include everyone’s favorites like chocolates, truffles, appetizers, dips and vegetables. You must set tables in the room in a way that would help guests to move around and communicate with others.

Remember to arrange for decorations as they make the party cheerful, bright and colorful. Decorations create an environment of fun and joy for all. There are a variety of decorations available in the market, in craft shops or even online. You can even be creative in making exclusive decorations that would change the look of the venue. A good idea is to make them as per the mom-to-be’s favorite thoughts. This will help to transform the venue literally into a Disneyland that will be admired by one and all.

One of the best kinds of decoration is made with reasonably priced organdy and tulle that are tied back using a ribbon and are draped all over the ceiling and across all furniture. You can have woven baskets, fill them up with pop corn or confetti and place them on tiny tables all over the room. Holders with flowers fixed on the wall and lovely fragrant colorful candles kept glowing in corners give a special warm feel to the room.

And most important of all, you must think of gifts. Gifts play a major role in all baby showers. You must inform the guests on the requirements of the mom-to-be, this way they can discuss and purchase gifts that will not lead to duplication. All new moms need huge quantities of baby blankets, wipes, diapers and other necessary items that never go to waste. Also, you can gift the mom herbal lotions or a basket full of fragrant soap or some cosmetic products that she uses to pamper her.

Using some imagination and planning well it is possible to have the most excellent baby shower. Do not forget that the foremost important feature of any baby shower is the happiness of the mom to be. Be sure she enjoys it the maximum before she gets into the stress of getting and bringing up a baby.
