daughter. For your baby shower you will have to consider where to hold it i.e. in the home or book a venue hall; however
this would depend on how many baby shower invitations you have sent out. Baby showers are a group thing so be sure to ask
everybody if you are pushed for maybe time in getting organized, to help. If you are on a budget ask friends and family to
donate a little something in return for you giving them an invite to the best baby shower that is to be held in town
It is your best interest, so you don’t experience any last minute hiccups is to draw up a baby shower list and as you go along

Popular themes include:
• Teddy bear's tea party
• Nursery rhymes
• Books Ask each guest to bring a book that meant something to them as a child. It's a great way for mum to start up her child's
library. For decoration, everyone could also bring books to arrange around the room. The cake could be in the shape of a fairy
tale book or whatever your desired preference.
Remember to work with the colors pink and blue if you know the gender of your baby. Let your guests know to as they can buy
presents appropriate for a baby boy or baby girl. If you don`t know keep colors to lemon and beige.
It's also really nice to ask guests to write a poem, ditty, limerick or rhyme about the mum-to-be and her baby. Doing this will
bring tears to everyone eyes at the baby shower party, - either through sadness or laughter from what people wrote. Buy a book to
stick them all into and it will be a memento she can pass on to her child when s/he grows up. If you feel it is too much for you
to do and maybe stuck for ideas for your baby shower party then you are not to worry or panic. Go online and find the experts in
this field that will do everything for you. All you do is tell them what you want, and hey presto you get what you
want.
