A Couple's Baby Shower
It's time for baby shower planning. No need to stick with the conventional mom-only-shower. To make it unique and fun, come up with the party that includes both mom and dad-to-be. You just need to avoid over-cutesy themes and make it gender-neutral. Here are six tips for hosting a couple's baby shower.
1. Choose your theme
Now that you have recruited both genders, you may want to choose a theme that is casual and fun. One of the best ways to keep it neutral and simple is to throw a picnic-theme celebration. Classic table clothes and napkins, grilled food and delicious treats will all make a lovely memories for the guests and parents-to-be.
It's time to make a guest list and send out invitations. Before doing so, you need to consult with both parents-to-be. It is important that they approve of your guest list. When sending out the invitations, highlight the fact that it is a shower for both men and women. If you are inviting couples, put both names on the envelope using specially designed custom address labels?
3. Food
Everyone is a fan of barbecue. Guys can take care of the grill while girls enjoy some catching up with one another.
This is a baby shower so mom-to-be can't drink. Here are some creative non-alcoholic drinks to fit the occasion. Use customized bottled water and add some slices of fresh lemon to it. Also, nametags are a great way to dress up the drinks.
What a cool baby shower gift!
6. Thank you gifts
Can't think of cute and memorable thank you gifts for your guests? Think of favors like personalized candies or custom cupcakes-they are a nice treat. Or how about this lovely personalized Baby shower candy jars? You may as well create your own tags saying something sweet and memorable.
