Happy Pregnancy Party

My sister asked me to brainstorm ideas for a happy pregnancy party and my initial reaction was “what?”. It turns out that she wanted something to celebrate the discovery of her friend’s pregnancy, the two-lines on the pregnancy test strip.

I have several ideas for a small get-together with friends and relatives attending.
The food includes simple chicken dishes. They can order in from a regular fried chicken place or they can fry their own, following authentic restaurant recipes from cookbooks.

The idea is for the guests to gush over the new discovery and reassure the new mom-to-be that her new emotions and the changes in her body are things that all women go through when celebrating the miracle of pregnancy. Changes in one’s body are scary, but her friends are there to convince her that she will still look awesome even in prebaby clothes.

Guests can bring accessories or hand-me-down clothes from previous pregnancies as one necessary expense among pregnant women is clothes that fit. Most preggy dresses are in pastels. Another nice gift to give the mom-to-be would be bags to go with new mommy outfits. They should be big to accommodate small snacks for when she’s feeling the munchies, and trendy enough to show the world that pregnant women can also be fashionable.

Finally, the party planner should make available some catalogs featuring Nursery Wall Decors for the parents-to-be to browse. Their relatives and friends can help them pick the best unisex design to adorn the nursery. They still don’t know what the baby’s gender will be, but they cannot wait until the last minute to furnish the room.

Planning the giveaways for this party is tricky, and nice thank you cards and ‘future godparent’ cards are standard.
