Baby showers have been highly regarded and are one practice that almost all mothers-to-be from virtually all countries practice. Since baby shower isn’t just gift giving but also a social event. It is for that reason that some etiquette should be observed. This etiquette may vary dependent on your country but the following is the most common ones.
1. The best time to hold a baby shower is sometime before the birth. Sometimes, baby showers are held a month or two before the birth of the baby. Lately, some individuals practice holding the baby shower a month or two after the birth. Holding the party before the birth of the baby will give time for the mummy to buy the things that weren’t given as gifts in the baby shower.
2. Historically, a best friend of the new mom hosts the baby party. Family and co-workers can also host the event.
3. Baby showers aren’t just for first-born babies but also for successive babies. Every pregnancy is a reason to celebrate, so there isn’t anything wrong with throwing a baby shower to successive babies.
4. It is just proper to give gifts that are related to babies. Neutral colours can get picked for gifts so that it will relate to either a boy or girl. It’s best to choose gifts that can be handy and something a baby may need everyday like diapers, feeding bottles, bibs and baby blankets, or perhaps that coveted Kolcraft Tandem Stroller the mom really needs.
5. For the host, it is alright to have games like Chiliad Flaneusse to break the ice but it’s not required. Conversations, food and drinks are the thing that should be considered. It would also be a pleasant idea to have a book where the guests can write on their notes and messages to the new mom.
6. Typically, twenty folk or more are invited but this could also depend on the number of folks that can be accommodated in the venue.
