Are you or someone you know expecting a new addition to the family? If so, it’s time to plan a baby shower!

Throwing a baby shower is a fun way to celebrate the parents-to-be! It’s an occasion for closest family and friends to help prepare for the baby and spend time with the parents before the bundle of joy arrives.

If you are on the planning team for the baby shower, here are some tips to pull off a memorable party that’s enjoyable for everyone.

SAVE THE DATE
Before you plan and make arrangements for the baby shower, you want to pick a date that works for parent(s)-to-be and the host(s) of the baby shower!

You can hold a baby shower at any time that works best for the guest(s) of honor, but typically baby showers are thrown a couple months before the baby’s anticipated arrival. This also gives them time to organize the nursery with new baby gear and make any returns or exchanges. You can also host a baby shower after the little one arrives. It’s up to you!

PICK THE PARTY PLANNER
Another important first step to planning a baby shower is deciding who’s going to host it! The host of the baby shower is usually someone close to parents-to-be. They can be a friend, coworker, neighbor, or family member. One person can take on the planning or multiple people can team up to plan and cover expenses, whatever works best.

DETERMINE THE PERFECT BABY SHOWER PACKAGE!
You’ll want to determine a baby shower package for your shower that will accommodate your group size and style. Popular locations to hold a baby shower include private homes, backyards, restaurants, and church halls.

If you’re planning the baby shower anytime from May through September, your baby shower can be done outdoors. Otherwise with the local weather in Edmonton October through April a private residence or other indoor venue is advised.

CREATE THE GUEST LIST
Who you invite to the baby shower depends on what kind of baby shower it is. You can throw a more traditional baby shower or you can include both parents and their closest friends. The host should communicate with the parents-to-be to determine who to invite and whether that includes additional guests.
