Discount party stores are just the right place to find invitations, decorations, and paper goods. When you send out invitations, be sure to let your guests know where they can access your baby registry. Showers are the perfect time to request those large items like strollers or car seats, where multiple party pool guests can pool their resources to purchase them.

When it comes to the party food, selecting a certain theme for the baby shower will make the food preparation easier. Whether it's a Mexican theme, a picnic lunch or just desserts as main theme, the choices are endless. Since baby showers often take place over a lunch hour, make sure to have a platter of fresh fruits or vegetables available in addition to your other party foods. Check with your guest ahead of time to see if anyone has allergies or a special diet. Shower guests might also enjoy a range of beverages such as punch, water, coffee, and tea. Baby showers are not just an opportunity to socialize, but to help moms feel supported.

Baby showers these days usually involve playing games. Everyone loves fun, competitive games where there are prizes given to winners. Make sure you have a few extra prizes ready to give away if there happens to have multiple winners of a game. Whoever is able to answer the most questions correctly wins the prize. You can also try playing memory games. Guests have to remember the baby items as many as they can. Place a tray out with small baby items such as diaper pin, pacifier, bottle, baby spoon, bib, leave they tray for 30 seconds, ask guest to write down as many items as possible. Guest who remembers the most items correctly is the winner.

Last but not least, a baby shower checklist will sure come in handy. It can be a lot of preparation so encourage friends and family to work together to divide up the responsibilities. In addition to the pre-party jobs, make sure you have a designated person to keep track of gifts and where to send those thank-you notes.
