 Tips for Planning a Great Baby Shower 

Baby showers are parties thrown for friends that are pregnant.
This practice has significantly changed over the course of the years
and has gradually become more and more elaborate and planned

Baby showers can make an expectant mother feel more secure in the
 fact that her friends are all pulling for her and giving moral
and financial support. Usually the baby shower is organized by
non-relatives. But today, there is isn't abnormal to find
family members, support group members, church friends and pretty
 much anyone except the expecting mother.

Inviting the Guests
Who should you invite? Usually, the guest list will only include
 those nearest and dearest to the expectant mother. It wouldn't
 hurt if she gets a first look at the guest list so that she can
 suggest who should be invited. If you are planning a surprise
baby shower, you will have to do a little research on who should
 be attending instead of running the list through the expectant mother.

If the child is not a firstborn, you may opt to keep the number of
 guests down to the closest to the mother. Firstborn baby showers
tend to have a larger guest list since it is, after all,
the mother's first time.

The thing to remember is that the nature of baby showers is intimacy.
So, for any baby shower party, try making the gathering one of intimate friends.

You could use informal ways to invite these guests: email, phone and others.
 Invitation cards and other letters are the best way, however, as they provide
 a tangible, traceable evidence of invitation. Plus, it is the most sure
and formal way to invite a person - and in many cultures - the only way.

What About the Guys
The nature of the party is probably going to tend towards the feminine side;
if the organizers of the party have a provision for this, then inviting men
would be fine. It also depends on the men, since the party may dwell on topics
such as pregnancy, children, and other motherly topics, they might not be that
 excited to join. All in all, it depends on the preference of the organizers.

Venue
Anywhere! As long as it can keep with the placid and fun nature of the occasion,
 any place would be fine. The more usual places on baby shower lists are backyards,
 formal halls, restaurants, and basically any room that has the amenities to make
a baby shower successful. Just make sure the venue is not crowded and stressful
to the mother-to-be. It also pays to make sure the venue is set long before
the actual baby shower happens.

When to Throw a Baby Shower
Usually this is one or two months before her due. The baby shower is the perfect
time to get your friend baby needs and stuff she may not have had time to
purchase yet. It has to be well-timed though - not too close to the due date,
and not to far as to whittle down the excitement.

Baby showers are a pleasant surprise to expecting mothers. It takes a lot of
the stress of expecting a child off of their minds and provides a means for friends
 to show support and concern (and of course, baby gifts) to expecting friends.

A properly coordinated baby shower will be greatly appreciated and forever
 remembered by mothers long after they have delivered their children.
