But don't fret - planning the perfect baby shower is not as hard as you imagine, and getting the perfect baby gift basket does not require much. Read on to get a few pointers on baby shower etiquette and to learn a few tricks to making wonderful baby gift baskets.
Baby Shower Etiquette
Traditionally, relatives don't host baby showers. But these days, it's perfectly okay for sisters, and even mothers, to organize baby showers. You can even share the pleasure and excitement of showering the mom-to-be and with love and support with a group of friends. So call your girlfriends and others who are close to the new mom.
After you've decided on with whom to share the hosting pleasure, you'll have to make a guest list. To do this, you also have to determine how big a shower party you are planning to throw. If you want a small, exclusive shower party, make a guest list of 10-15 people, and invite the celebrant's closest friends and family members. Don't worry about inviting men to the party - a co-ed shower party is popular nowadays. If you plan to invite 16-25 people, you can include the parents-to-be's co-workers, and even their neighbors.
As for the when, where, and hows of the event, you'll have to organize the party a couple of month's before the expectant mother is due. Baby showers are usually held in the expectant parent's home, but you may also hold it at their favorite restaurant, or hangout place. You must also think about the food, party favors, and the games. Snacks are usually okay, and party favors aren't required. But do whatever suits you - you can even adopt a theme for the event, just don't skip the games.
Baby Gift Baskets
Now you can't go to a baby shower without gifts for the mom-to-be and the baby, even if you're hosting the party. Baby gift baskets are great gift ideas for baby showers. There are ready-made baby gift baskets you can pick up in specialty stores, but nothing beats a homemade basket. Buy health care items for the baby, and lotions, body butter and creams, and even handbooks for the mommy. Be confident with your choices. Knowing the celebrant will be enough guide to getting items that you know she'll love and appreciate. Place the items in a beautiful basket, finish with an elegant ribbon, tuck in some love and care, and you have a basket that will beat all baby gift baskets.
