I don?t hae a lot of experience with baby showers. I planned one impromptu small one and that?s it. I never really gave them a ton of thought, which is why I found this article sent to me by Jeni thought provoking.

Whether it?s the birth of Jesus, a New Year to look forward to, or just a new holiday to enjoy, this is the time of year when we all think of new beginnings. Nowhere is a new beginning more celebrated than in the tradition of baby showers. Plenty of new mothers are awaiting their own newborns during this season. A holiday theme is a very? fitting and festive one to plan a baby shower around.
From the traditional Santa motif to a more abstract winter inspired one, the possibilities are infinite. It?s important, however, to harmonize the season with the overall baby shower theme. Choosing one visual or topical theme and threading it through all the party supplies, from quality invitations to personalized baby gifts, will help create excitement about the shower. It also helps the party planner set up a structure around which to plan the event.
One topical theme, even a general one like winter itself, can be combined with a baby shower for a unique event. A winter colors blue and silver theme might be a perfect one for a baby boy about to be born. A customizable blue-colored baby shower invitation, like any other winter theme, could be matched with bright blue bulbs and tinsel for decorations.
A traditional red and white Santa theme could include holiday cards with a snowmen or angels. A less traditional but chic red and white theme could be suggested with a decorated crib, holiday baby bunting or specially designed baby shower invitations from? http://www.invitationbox.com/. An air of friendly, low-key holiday party fun might begin with any of these choices.
Once the? baby shower holiday theme is established, the shower planner can pull together corresponding party supplies to fit the mood and season. A menu is usually made of light party finger food fare and party beverages. The expectant mother and her equally expecting friends would probably appreciate non-alcoholic refreshments.
Lastly, the shower planner may want to coordinate with the guest of honor in suggesting preferred baby gifts from her guests. This is done tastefully by collecting a list of items the new parents may especially need and then posting this publicly or passing it casually between friends. In that way, everyone can more effectively welcome the most important guest of honor, the baby about to arrive.
