How to Plan the Perfect Baby Shower: Tips and Ideas

If you're wondering what a baby shower is, it's a special celebration for expectant parents in honor of their new arrival. This holiday is an opportunity to shower the parents-to-be with love and support, and help them prepare for the upcoming arrival of their little one. Typically, baby showers are organized by close friends and family of the expectant parents. It's a time for guests to bring gifts, offer advice, and show their excitement for the new addition to the family

It is recommended to plan the baby shower during the last trimester of pregnancy, specifically around 30 to 38 weeks pregnant. However, it's important to consider the expectant mother's health and her doctor's recommendations when planning the shower. If you're organizing the event, be sure to prioritize the mother's well-being

When planning a baby shower, it's important to consult with the parents-to-be about the guest list and their preferences. While traditionally only women participated in baby showers, this tradition is becoming less common. Be sure to invite close relatives and friends of the parents-to-be to share in the celebration

When deciding on a location for the baby shower, consider your budget and the number of guests you plan to invite. Baby showers can be held in various locations, including at home, in a rented space, or at a cafe. For a cozy and intimate atmosphere, we recommend choosing a small, enclosed space

If you're planning a baby shower, it's important to create a program that includes various stages such as games, gift opening, refreshments, and chatting with the parents-to-be. To make the event even more special, consider using themed accessories such as balloons, banners, photos, and table decorations to create a festive atmosphere.

When planning a baby shower, it's important to create a program that includes various activities to keep guests engaged and entertained. One great way to do this is through baby shower games. Here are some ideas for interactive and fun games to play at your baby shower:

Guess the baby from the pictures
Ask guests to bring their own baby pictures. Your guests should guess who the kid's picture belongs to and the smartest one will get a prize

Guess the baby food
For this fun game, you need to purchase jars of baby food and take the labels off them. Guests then blindly taste and try to guess the flavor

Who knows the parents better?
This game is a way to see who knows the parents-to-be best. You need to prepare questions about the mom and/or dad-to-be and then ask those questions to the guests. Whoever gives the most correct answers is the winner of the quiz

The Right Price
One popular baby shower game is the guess the price game. Prepare slips for guests naming baby items and accessories and leave a field for their cost. Guests must guess how much each item costs and whoever comes closest or guesses and is the winner

Change a diaper blind
For this fun speed game, you will need two dolls, blindfolds, and diapers. Divide the guests into two teams, each team member must blindly change a diaper and pass the baton to the other. The team that does it the fastest will be the winner. This game is great training for expectant parents!

A game of charades on a children's theme
Guess a child-related item for each guest and divide the guests into two teams. Each guest must explain the puzzled word with gestures and facial expressions in one minute. The team that guesses the most words in the allotted time wins

What's in the bag?
Prepare children's things and pack them in numbered paper bags. Provide the guests with paper and pen and hand out a bag to each. The guest should guess by touch what is in the bag without opening it. The mom-to-be will then open each bag to determine which guest guessed the most
