Elegant Baby Shower Ideas & Checklist
I love throwing baby showers! It’s another fun way to celebrate with friends and family. Last year my brother had his first baby and I was so thrilled to host the shower. There are so many ideas out there. Martha Stewart has a great baby shower website and so does Style Me Pretty. Below is the checklist I use when planning a baby shower.
* Set the Date
* Pick a Host
* Send invitations
* Pick a theme
* Choose a menu
* Pick a drink (if you choose)
* Pick out games
* Get gift list together (make sure the soon to be mom is registered)
* Get a baby memory book (I love these!)
* Encourage everyone to get a book for the nursery library (if you choose to do so)
* Pick up party favors for guests
Baby shower games are always a fun way to get people to communicate and have fun. Below is one example. These are so easy to find on the internet. I found this game on Baby Shower Savvy.
Here are some more baby shower ideas and inspiration. I hope it inspires you to throw a simple elegant shower for your loved you. Enjoy!
Also, please click on the link below and watch the Youtube video from Vera Bradley. The shower was hosted by The Tomkat Studio. It has great ideas also!
It looks like you did such a beautiful job – those cupcakes have to be the prettiest things I have seen for a baby shower!
