Your guests and the mom-to-be deserve the best.
Hosting a baby shower is a serious responsibility. Of course you want the best for your guests and the mom-to-be. Avoid the common trappings of baby showers and offer either modern versions of old favorites or something totally unique. You will be sure to create lasting memories for all of your guests. Does this Spark an idea?
Decorations
Decorating with balloons and streamers is still the norm, but consider personalized decorations for added flair. Print shops or party websites offer customized banners, lawn signs and posters. The items can be simple and display only the mom-to-be's name, or they can be humorous and represent an inside joke or display a digitally-enhanced ultrasound photo of the baby wearing a party hat.
Game Supplies
Over the years, some baby shower games have been over-played and are no longer entertaining. Offer something new like baby-themed scratch-off or pull-tab lottery games. Play a game of Pin the Sperm on the Egg to give rise to some laughs and fond memories.
If you think your guests would better enjoy classic favorites, create your own Bingo cards or word scrambles, or order high-quality, colorful game pages online or in a print shop.
Tableware
Disposable plates, napkins and cutlery should not look cheap. Buy high-quality items with matching designs for the most aesthetic appeal. Discount stores often stock themed tableware, but if the styles do not suit your taste, turn to the Internet to find items with modern designs. Some sites allow you to buy all you need in one kit, including plates, napkins, cups, cutlery and even some decorations.
Favors
Present your guests with elegant party favors.
Visit websites and stores to shop for baby shower favors. Get started with kits that supply sets of personalized gift bags or paper prams that you can fill with the goodies of your choice. You may also want to shop for gift bag contents, like baby-themed lip balm and soaps. If you are hosting a couples shower, fill gift bags with edible treats from the bulk section at your grocery store.
