Baby Shower Party Planning
There are events in every person’s life that they want to commemorate with a party, whether it’s the birth of a child, or the PREPARATION to the birth of a child. Now, there are so many reasons to throw a baby shower…
1. You want to ask your friends help to complete your baby accessories
2. You want to share your excitement with your closest friends
3. You want to ask for child rearing advice from your friends and family
4. You want someone to talk to you about Lamaze, ultrasound results, over the counter prenatal vitamins and some superstitions about birthing.
You can start the party with some games, like those that help you come up with a name for your child. You may want to build a time capsule that you can open during your child’s eighteenth birthday. Or you can simply sit around, talk about all the hype that’s happening over the blessing that’s coming in a few months.
Some Appetizer Suggestions for your Baby Shower
Meat and Cheese Tray – One of the easiest appetizers to set up is a meat and cheese tray. Place the meat in one row and the cheese in another. You can line the outer edges of the tray with toast, crackers or pita bread for those who want to create sandwiches.
Fruit and Vegetable Tray – You can also cut up some fruits and raw vegetables for your guests to enjoy. Arrange the fruits around a saucer of whipped cream, mayonnaise or a sweet fruit dip (like chocolate) for an instant dessert tray.
Plain Chips and Dips – Serve Chips with several dips, or several types of chips with one dip! My favorites are fresh salsa and guacamole.
