Ideas for baby showers
February 16th, 2015
Baby shower is the term used to give gifts to the expected mom to be and pamper her with love, care, baby product and maternity products for her. The related custom bridal shower may have derived its name from the custom in Victorian times for the presents to be put inside a parasol, which when opened would “shower” the bride-to-be with gifts. Normally baby shower is arranged for the first child in the family but there is no compulsion in that you can also give the baby shower before the arrival of any number of children.
Baby shower is normally organized and hosted by a close friend rather than a member of the family, since it is considered rude for families to request for gifts on behalf of their members. However, this tradition fluctuates by culture or region and in some it is expected and customary for a close female family member to host the baby shower, often the baby’s grandmother.
The most likely gifts on the baby shower is for babies, like clothes, baby toiletries, rattles, cot mobile toy, blanket, baby Hampers etc. if you are living away and there is a baby shower of your family member or friend in UK then you can also send baby hamper UK via online services.
There are few ideas to make the baby shower more appealing:
Games:
Arrange some interesting games so that everyone enjoys the baby shower and don’t get bored. The games should include in it the bay products to link them with the event. The baby products like dipper pins, bibs, clothes, shoes, rattles should be involved. You can hide the baby items in different places of the house and as the participants to collect them. Take dipper pins and ask the participants to make a chain with the dipper pins the one with the longest wins.
Theme:
The main focus of the baby shower is the mom to be and the new baby to come so rather than focusing on only balloons and ribbons, you can take rob hang little baby socks on it and do the decorations with it. Place some pacifiers’ wall hangings, the little shoes should be decorated on the table.in this way the whole environment would be compatible with the event.
The cake:
Now a day the theme based cakes are very popular. You can order a cake with a little feeder, pacifier, diaper and rattles on the cake. Or make a cake with baby clothes and shoes. The theme on the cake would have a great impact on the overall them of the party.
The main motive behind the baby shower is to prepare the mom to be for the beautiful but tiring phase of life. Bringing up a baby is a great responsibility; you have to keep aside your needs and wants over the babies’ one. So it’s really important to accept the new change happily and enjoy this phase of life.
