(420 Words)
A baby shower can be a great deal of fun. There are many different enjoyable things you can do during a baby shower, which can make it very special for the expectant mother and her new little miracle.
Beautiful decorations
You want to create a beautiful setting for the baby shower. You can decorate with chiffon and signs with the new baby’s name. You can make a diaper cake including toys for the new baby. You can do it somewhere unique such as at a beautiful botanical garden.
Fun and games
There are many fun games that you can play during a baby shower. For instance, you can make a baby shower bingo for everyone to play. You can also play a game in which everyone is forbidden to say a word such as baby or pregnant. Everyone gets a clothespin and if they hear someone say the word they can take their clothespin. The person who has the most clothespins at the end wins. Another fun game is for everyone to guess how big the mommy is. They all have to guess the length string that will fit around her waist. They will each cut a piece of yarn to what they think is the right length. Afterward you will measure the real diameter and the one who is closest wins. You can also have a little trivia quiz in which people have to guess details about the mother such as her cravings, favorite pregnancy outfit, etc.
Helping the new mother out
There are many ways that a baby shower can be useful for a mother-to-be. For instance, if it is near the birth of the baby and the new mother has room in her freezer, you can have everyone bring a frozen dish, which she can save for the weeks after the baby is born. You can also have all of the parents bring in suggestions or recommendations from when they were new parents. You can put this advice into a book.
Meaningful measures
Instead of just having everyone sign their name in an autograph book, do something more meaningful. Ask that every person write a little letter to the baby. They can write about how happy they feel about his or her upcoming arrival. Everyone can also write a little something about what the mother means to them.
With hard work and effort you can make a baby shower into a magical experience that a mother will remember forever. Use your creativity to make this magical time.
