5 Great Tips for an Amazing Baby Shower

1.     Have each friend offer parenting advice to the new mom from their own experience or what their parents did for them. This will create great conversations.

2.     Bring a book instead of a card. Interactive board books are great for babies but don’t forget the classics for when they get older. Here are some great suggestions:

• I Know The Plans

• The Baby Garden

• Where’s the Owl

• Going to Sleep on the Farm

3.     Serve cupcakes instead of a large cake, more people will actually eat them.

4.     Avoid serving punch…no one really likes it. Focus on a glass container of flavored water, consider lemon, cucumber, raspberries, mint, lime or whatever you like. It looks fancy, refreshing and delicious. If coffee is on the menu, order high quality beans at Wild Rivers Coffee Company and give back to conservation all at the same time. Your guest will really taste the difference!

5.     Focus on the mom, make her feel special, and make the conversations all about her! Try to fit in prayer sometime during the baby shower, this will help put her at ease for her upcoming delivery and becoming a mom.
