Baby showers are one way of announcing to the world that some one is going to be a new mother. Since baby showers are traditionally given to help the new mother celebrate the fact that she is going through one of life’s most vital events, you can help to make this event special by seeing that the party looks fabulous. There are many ways that you can accomplish this but a baby shower decoration that shows the amount of though that has gone into it is very special.
Now there are many different baby shower decorations that you can use but having a personalized baby shower decoration makes the party even more special. So what baby shower decorations can you have that will make a baby shower a fun event? This really depends on the amount of money and time that you have.
You can but mix the choice of a lavish baby shower decoration with that of other simple and inexpensive thoughts. For instance you can have a small wire baby carriage filled with fresh baby’s breath and other small fresh flowers as a table centerpiece. Another fantastic baby shower decoration would be to have a small stork figurine holding a baby in a blanket near the new mother’s seat.
Now I know that many people have already tried thoughts like this, but you can give these baby shower decorations a personal look and revamp them. Instead of medium sized children’s umbrellas you can have miniature parasols that are opened and hanging from the ceiling near each guest’s seat. In this baby shower decoration you will have a lot of party favors like minture perfume flacons, light up pacifiers and small tasty chocolates for the guests.
Other than baby shower decorations for the guests and the new mother you can make the baby shower itself look fascinating and unique with some really gorgeous baby shower decorations in the room. One type of baby shower decoration that you can try is to have some long clear plastic champagne flutes filled with fresh flowers. From the stems you can have some gaily wrapped mini chocolate eggs waiting for your guest to take home or eat while they are at the party.
As you see these baby shower thoughts can be either expensive or simple. The way that you plot these parties depends on the time and the money that you are willing to set aside. The one thing that you can be assured of is that if you take a small effort you can have a fantastic looking baby shower decoration that will last as a wonderful memento for the expectant mother.

baby shower rhymes
May 30, 2006 by Baby Showers
Filed under Baby Shower News

Your baby shower is on the way. You have all things prepared: food, fun, games, and the program. But wait, you forgot something critical. The party invitation! You basically forgot something really vital when holding a party. What excellent is a party if there are no guests?
Making party invitations may take some time if are choosy with words. Selecting the best wordings for the invitation is imperative as this sets the tone of the party. If the party theme is casual, you certainly can relay that in the invitation. Knowing which theme party you want can be used as guidelines in picking out the right words for your invitation. Fun themes like teddy bear and balloon party requires humorous and informal wordings.
You can make use of poems, well-known quotes, or you can make your own too. There are several websites that offer sample wordings you can adapt for your invitation. Make a quick search and pick the catchiest wordings that you can emulate in your invitations. It can either be a general one or gender specific. Just be sure that you know ahead of time what gender the baby has.
Using baby rhymes would be a superb thought in your baby invitation. Placing the names of the expecting parents will give the invitation a personal touch. You can also place in song lyrics that are well loved with kids and even nursery rhymes. Well-known kiddie rhymes like Humpty Dumpty, Baa Baa Black sheep and Hickory, Dickory, Dock can add spice to your invitation too.
The main things that your baby shower invitation should include are the name of the guest of honor, the date, time, and where it will be held. If the venue for the party is quite unfamiliar to the guests, make a simple sketch to guide them to the right place. These key information are needed, and make sure that they are printed huge and clear.
Do not forget to place in the invitation whether the event will be a surprise or not. If the party is going to be a surprise, your guest should be informed to keep it secret. You would not want any guest sending in advanced gifts for the party and spoil the plot.
Another vital thing to place on the invitation is the RSVP or Regrets only note. Do not forget to place your phone number in there too of course, as guests likely will contact you their response as you requested them to.
You might want to add a registry list or the gifts you wanted your guests to bring. This is very practical if you do not want to end up having three or four strollers which you may not use. Guests would like it if their gifts would be appreciated and would not end up just being set aside.
As vital as the wordings, the presentation of the invitation speaks too. Follow the theme if you have one. If you select angels, place cute pictures of these on the invitation cover for the desired effect. If you do not necessarily have a theme, then just select pictures that relates to a baby. Colors are vital too. Use blue for boys and pink for girls. Invitations are there to make impression and entice your guests to come in this very special day. So unleash your creativity, get that pen and have fun writing.

Ok ladies, you’ve been given the honor (or punishment) of throwing the Baby Shower and maybe you do not even have any children of your own, have never been pregnant and you’re completely lost and frantic about how to get started because the only thing that you know about a Baby Shower is that the expectant mom is supposed to open a bunch of gifts while everyone sits around “oohing and ahhing”!
Sound like you? Take a deep breath; the first step to plotting the perfect Shower for your expectant loved one is to select a Shower theme! A theme gives you an thought to revolve everything else around and can make all of the small details of plotting the Shower just seem to “fall into place”.
When plotting any event, committing to a theme gives you a base for your plotting. If you’re reluctant to select a theme because you reckon that you’ll have difficulty finding products (invitations, centerpieces, games, balloons, decorations, etc.) that match your theme, don’t sweat it. It’s much simpler to have a theme that you stray from here and there than not to have a theme at all and to wander aimlessly through the plotting process.
Discuss theme thoughts with your mom-to-be. Select something that will be fun, entertaining and that is in-line with mom’s personality and passion. Maybe even something that will match the nursery theme (by the way, “pink” is not a theme, it’s a color. Be more creative than that).
Once you’ve selected your theme, start thinking about how you can incorporate it into games, activities and decorations throughout the event. You’ll be amazed how easily things start to fall into place!
As a diaper cake Designer myself, of course I’m going to suggest that you make or order a diaper cake to match your theme. Diaper cakes can be used as a centerpiece for the gift table or the head table at the event or , they are a fantastic piece to place at the entryway to greet your guests and immediately introduce them to the party’s theme! Select a cake designer that can work with you to meet your needs or construct your own cake to match your Shower theme. Creative diaper cake bakeries can match a cake to even the most unusual or unique Baby Shower theme. If you need help or just some thoughts, visit us at www.donteatthecakes.com.
One of the things that I like best about plotting a Shower around a theme is that it can allow you stray from the dull “everything baby” mentality of Showers. For instance, if the theme is Cowboys or Ballerinas, you could plot a trivia game that revolves around well-known western movies or well-known musicals rather than making every game and activity just about the baby… After all, the guests at the event are typically all adults, right?
Here are just a few simple theme thoughts to get your creative juices flowing:
- Noah’s Ark
- Safari
- Circus
- Peter Rabbit (or any classic or favorite tale book)
- Jungle
- Teddy Bears
- Sports
- Princess or Fairy Tale
- Beach
- Ballerina
- Cowboy/Cowgirl
- Doctor
Have fun with it and don’t get discouraged!

To find out or not find out the Gender?
This is our first baby and my husband wants to find out the gender of our baby. He says he doesn’t like surprises.
My Girlfriends who already have kids gave me the Pros and cons about finding out.
Most said they wanted to wait because if they were having a Boy or girl and told, they said that they go soo much Girly clothes that they never got what they needed at there shower.
I do want to know, But I don’t want others to know. So advice and input. Pros and cons of telling verse not telling.
I’ve only gone to one baby shower where I didn’t know the sex of the baby. It was specified in the registry to ONLY buy gender neutral clothes. As a result, the mother received mostly gifts that weren’t clothes, such as diapers, bottles, bibs, etc.

Hosting a surprise baby shower is a fun exercise in empathy. You need to place yourself in the shoes of the expectant mother – her feelings, her personality, her character, and her schedule. You also need to make it a fun experience for her; if there are tears, they should be tears of joy.
Pre-Baby Shower Preparations
Carefully plot the baby shower. Since this is usually given on the third trimester, you should have plenty of time for party plotting. Prepare a checklist of the things you need to do, and procure including an initial list of baby shower gifts you need your attendees to bring.
Choose on the party theme, number and gender of invitees, and the date and venue. Choose if you want the party to be a surprise or not; you want a pleasant surprise for the honoree, not unpleasant shock. Prepare the guest list, which should include everyone close to the expectant mother.
If the expectant mother is registered for gifts, inform the guests should they inquire. Just like the wedding, send the invitations at least three weeks before the party. Prepare the menu to reflect the theme; you can prepare the food, order takeout, or engage a caterer. Make sure that the food is prepared and delivered as agreed.
If possible, prepare the venue a day before the party. Harried preparations have a way of ruining what could have been a fantastic baby shower. If possible, rehearse the flow of activities to ensure smooth transition.
You also need to coordinate the attendees’ baby shower gifts. You need to ensure that there will be no unnecessary duplication of gifts. A diaper cake is a fantastic gift – attractive and usable – but learning that nearly all the guests brought diaper cakes and nothing else is impractical.
During the Baby Shower
Make sure that the party activities are followed as closely as possible. But, remain flexible as baby showers are meant to be relaxed fun, not a military drill. Just ensure that the food is served satisfactorily, the guests and honorees are comfortable, and everybody is having fun.
Keep track of the baby shower gifts being opened. Sometimes, guests will bring extra gifts aside from the coordinated baby shower gifts. This is perfectly acceptable and the expectant mother will appreciate these extra blessings. Keeping track of these baby gifts will help you and the mother write appropriate thank-you notes.
After the Baby Shower
When the baby shower is finished, expect a lot of discarded gift wrappings, take-home gift baskets and diaper cakes and an assortment of baby equipment from bathtubs to cribs. These baby shower gifts must be organized and brought home, assuming that the venue is outside the expectant mother’s house.
Help in making the venue as tidy as possible. You want your honoree to feel relaxed from start to end of the baby shower, not act as the cleaning maid.
Help the expectant mother in making thank-you notes to the guests for their participation and their gifts. Your tracking list should guide you in thanking the guests for the specific items they brought. Avoid social faux pas due to negligence.
When you host a baby shower, just remember that you are celebrating motherhood and a new life. Make the baby shower a celebration filled with excellent cheer and a joyful gathering of family and excellent friends.

- Make your mark! Lots of stores and online shops are packed with specialty scissors and hole-punch out tools to make silly Mardi gras masks for your Mardi gras invitations or wedding bells for a wedding invitation or anniversary invitation .
- Use Confetti- Many people are unaware at all of the specialty confetti that is available for your cards or invitation letter . Brightly colored birthday candles or cakes for your birthday invitation, baby feet for your footprint baby invitation and so many more shapes.
- Research- Get thoughts offline! The internet has thousands of sample invitations , sample invitation letters and even wedding invitation templates . When you look around and see what other people and businesses are doing, it will spark thoughts for you and helps you reckon of invitation designs you may not have thought of yourself.
- Go Completely Homemade- Instead of only going half way on your invitations- go all the way! It’s simple to make homemade wedding invitations with the right paper cutting tools, quality paper and excellent ink for your printer. Just invite a couple friends over and you can have a homemade wedding invitation party and be done in no time!
- Details- Don’t for get the special added touches. Ribbons, photos, bows and colored envelopes make lasting impressions on your guests. Adding a photo of your baby’s foot for a baby shower footprint invitation makes the invitation that much more special. The attention to detail will also make your guests feel that you spent time for them, making them feel special.
- Send Invitations for Minor Events- Why send out invitations for just huge events? Make fun super bowl invitations in the shape of a football and make everyone bring a potluck dish that is “tailgate” themed. Send out invitations for your book club night, or BBQ campout with a recipe for smores!
