A baby shower is a great way to encourage a mother-to-be, and to celebrate the coming of a new life. You can spice up your baby shower by having great gifts, creative decorations, and adorable party favors. You can also add to the spice of a great baby shower by having good baby shower food.

Remember that your mother-to-be cannot take too many sweets and cannot drink alcohol, so you will have to adjust your menu accordingly. You also want to have a short, sweet baby shower, where the spotlight is on the baby and the gifts. Your baby shower, therefore, might best be a brunch or afternoon snack affair.

Baby Showers

Organize a baby shower so that you can have as many people as possible, at a venue that is convenient for everyone, and at a time where no one is too tired for socializing and entertainment. You may also want to coordinate with your friends on baby shower gifts: avoid duplicating gifts, as no mother-to-be wants to receive twenty baby bottles, but no baby clothes!

Have a healthy balance among all your gifts. Moreover, keep your decorations simple: avoid going for the generic pink for girls, blue for boys. Instead, go for soft pastel colors that are both soothing and festive.

Baby Shower Food

You need not hire a catering company to provide baby shower food. Simple, healthy snacks can be a great way to keep your guests satisfied, but not too full. For instance, you can have vegetables and non-fat or low-fat dressings or dips. You can also have fruit slices for dessert, or wheat crackers topped with low fat cheeses.

Avoid cold cuts and other raw, deli meats. Have fresh fruit juices, or even a simple mix of lemon in ice water, to go with your baby shower food. Avoid alcoholic drinks such as beer or wines, as your mother-to-be is prohibited from taking these. You do not need to throw a big feast, but one that is simple as it is elegant and memorable.
