Baby Shower Event Planner

Welcome to our baby shower event planner where we will provide you with the ideas you need for everything from invitations and favors to cake, decorations and games for that perfect fun baby shower.

The history of baby showers goes back many years and is traditionally a time when friends and family bring gifts to help the proud new mother and, although this was not originally the time for a party, today a baby shower provides an opportunity to truly celebrate the value of the family.

Originally the baby shower was held when a newborn reached about one month of age and was often timed to coincide with a baby's christening. However, over the years tradition has changed not only in terms of the format for a shower, but also in terms of its timing and today it is common to hold baby showers to celebrate the imminent arrival of the child.

Another important change we see today, which in part reflects changes in the modern family unit, is that baby showers are no longer the preserve of women but are also often attended by men.

Your baby shower is a significant event in your life and one which should be memorable for both you and your friends and family. For this reason, it is important to start your planning early and that means thinking about such things as your invitations and the favors which your guests will take away as a memento of the day. Buying or making invitations means looking carefully at appropriate designs and also concentrating on the wording for baby shower invitations. Choosing favors also means deciding whether you should buy them in or make your own baby shower favors, perhaps making them uniquely personalized.

Next you will want to think about decorations for the party and, once again, whether you should simply buy these in or think about using home made baby shower decorations. And do not forget too those all important party games, because no baby shower these days is complete without some unique and different baby shower games.

Finally, you will want to plan ahead when it comes to your cake and here it is a good idea to look at several baby shower cake designs to see just which one will suit the occasion best.

Planning you baby shower can be great fun but it does take some work if you are to ensure that your party goes with a swing and is a truly memorable event. So, check out the topics on the index to the right of this page and we will give you more than a few really elegant baby shower ideas

Don't forget that if you cannot make it to a shower, or are lost for gift ideas, then you can always pick up some great specialty newborn baby gift baskets
