Necklace of Beads
One of my best friends is soon to be giving a birth to a triplet and everyone is just so excited for her. Most especially her sisters who are organizing her baby shower to celebrate the coming of three little angels into their family and mine as well. So, when I received the invitation for the baby shower party I was thrilled especially when I read the note that each guest should bring beads. I know there is something fun to do and I just can’t wait.
Time Capsule for the Baby
Giving birth with a beautiful baby is by far the most momentous and life changing even in the life of woman. This is where her life will change from being a normal woman to motherhood. Such excitement can bring about a lot of creative ideas that will make the occasion more special than it already is. They think of ways that will make them remember the moment they found out about the pregnancy to baby shower, labor, delivery and even the make sure that they baby will have something to remember by even if he is not yet aware of what is happening at that moment.
The Man Baby Shower
Is it not a bit unfair that the mother to be gets a chance to celebrate the near birth of the baby yet the father is not allowed in the baby shower? Even though the father to be is sometimes allowed to be in the party, men don’t usually enjoy the traditional baby shower party. Would you expect them to be as enthusiast as the ladies in scrap booking, making quilt, cooing over a tiny baby clothes? I guess not.
Cash Registry Baby Shower
Expectant mothers can now have control on the baby gifts that she will be receiving on her baby shower unlike before that you don’t have any say on this. In lieu of registering at a store the new trend today is registering for cash itself. There are already online companies that can help you with this arising trend – they offer cash coupons that can be given as a baby shower gift.
Grandmother Baby Shower
There has been a new trend that is slowly but surely gaining popularity of its own, now even the expectant grandmother gets to have her baby shower as well. The idea of a grandmother baby shower is almost the same with the traditional baby shower party for the expectant mom. There are foods, gifts and activities, too. The activities would usually gander around blanket making, sewing baby garments, you know granny sort of activities. For the gift, the grandmother cannot do cash or gift registry as it would be quite tacky for them to ask specifically what they want even though they are the primary caretaker of the baby. And just like the conventional baby shower, grandma herself cannot throw the baby shower herself. Her friends, colleagues, family, neighbors or anyone she knows but not her.
American Baby Shower with Indian Twist
I have attended a baby shower of an Asian-Indian couple that is amidst an American community. It’s amazing how they put up a baby shower with a touch of each culture but it still follows the general theme of a baby shower that is to welcome the soon birth of the baby in celebration and by congratulating the mother-to-be for carrying the baby in her womb.
Group Pit for Baby Shower Gift
Having a baby on the way is too expensive – from the pre-natal checkup, vitamins, hospitalization for delivery to the necessities that the baby will need. So, to help out the parents-to-be it is better to group pit for a gift that is expensive and practical rather than spending on something that the baby won’t need as much as the practical stuffs such as stroller, bassinet, baby dresser, high chair, etc.
Twilight Baby Shower
Twilight is a huge fab in today era may it be in the movie world, literature field, fashion trend and now it is also a party theme that can also be used in baby showers. Some may cringe over the idea that vampires and babies doesn’t really fit together. But hey, Bella Swan which is played by Kristen Steward got pregnant and will give birth to the daughter of Edward Cullen which is being portrayed by Robert Pattinson.
Baby Shower Budget
I would highly recommend that before going into specific details of the baby shower party the host must first settle on the budget allotted for the said party. Think of tall the possible cost for the party like the venue, menu, decors, souvenirs, drinks, etc. For those who have small money for the shower – worry not for you still have a lot of choices.
Baby Shower Photo Tips
What is a party without photos? Baby shower party is just like the other parties that need thorough planning and preparation, so pictures is a must to capture the memories and the probably the last chance of the mother-to-be to have pictures with her cute little tummy in a party until she get pregnant again of course. These memorable pictures will also be appreciated by the baby when he is already grown up and understands that visitors took time to celebrate her near birth.
