These might seem like small things to do but they definitely will help make it easier as well as help you save money.
BEGIN PLANNING EARLY While this may sound like a no brainer it is hard to imagine how many people procrastinate and put things off till tomorrow what they can do today.
By planning early you will:
- Save Money
- Possibly Find those hard to find items
- Have a well themed shower that everyone will remember
In some cases it might be easy to pick a theme such as if the parents to be tell you what they would like, or if they have a certain thing they enjoy such as golfing, or another obvious choice.
Another thing that can either help or hurt the theme choice is whether or not the parents are going to find out what the sex of the baby is.
If they are, then there are definitely more opportunities for specific theme ideas geared for a baby boy or baby girl baby shower.
Pinks and blues are almost expected color choices and the themes can be more gender related such as pink princesses or bouncing baby boy baby shower themes.
INVITATIONS SHOULD BE INVITING How many of us have been invited to a baby shower and read the invitation and thought in the back of our heads "OH NO!" and not wanted to attend? Probably more than a few of us.
The invitations can set the whole mood for the shower.
It is the first time to advise people of not only the date and time, or possibly the sex but also what the theme is going to be as well as what the parents to be need for their new arrival and where they are registered.
This will make sure that the new baby has a good head start on things and that mom and dad can spend their time off with the new baby and not out running around for items they need for the baby.
