In celebration of my beautiful baby daughter, Lucia Tait, born this past February, I have been fortunate enough to be on the other side of the baby shower, as the honoured guest, instead of the event planner. How I LOVE a good party! Friends & family from different circles, all coming together to celebrate a new life!
1. Create a Theme – A baby shower theme can be as simple as picking a favourite color and expanding from there.
2. Send out personalized Invitations – A custom invitation that is specific to the theme of your party will ‘wow’ your guests and start your planning in the right direction.
3. Enhance the space with Decor– Once chosen on a color theme, the decor can show up in a variety of ways to enhance the space you’re in. Work with the space to get the most out of every corner. From linen to flowers and candles to even creatively use the new babies name in a decorative way.
4. Choose a Menu – Foods that are rich and full of life as well as easy to prepare and serve make for the perfect shower menu. That way you’ll spend the most time with your guests instead of in the kitchen. Don’t forget a refreshing cocktail/mocktail to enhance the celebration!
5. Hand out creative Favours – Traditionally a favour is given to each guest to thank them for attending. These can range from edible chocolates, candy or fruit to decorative items such as soaps, candles, or flowers; or even a memorable keepsake such as a photo of the new baby. Favours are not only thoughtful, but can be creatively displayed to provide extra decor for the party.
By following these simple steps your next baby shower will be a beautiful, detailed & fun event that won’t soon be forgotten.
