Typically, it’s a female relative, such as a cousin, or a close friend of the mom-to-be who plans and throws the baby shower. According to tradition, close relatives were not supposed to act as hosts, because it could be seen as directly asking for gifts. However, nowadays the rules are not strictly adhered to, and it’s perfectly okay for the sister or mother to hold the celebration. Some expecting women prefer to plan their own baby showers, too.
During a baby shower, close family and friends of the expecting mother gather together to share the joy and celebrate the new arrival. It’s quite common to combine a baby shower with a sex reveal party. The celebration typically involves munching on some food, chatting and sharing stories of motherhood (but be careful not to freak out the mom-to-be!). The guest of honor usually opens the gifts, but it’s okay to skip this part if it feels too awkward. You can also plan some baby-themed activities, but remember to get a green light from the mom to make sure she’s comfortable with whatever you have in mind.
Baby showers are traditionally all-female parties. However, it’s not a hard and fast rule and co-ed events are growing in popularity! So, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t invite the father and other male relatives and friends to share the joy together. But make sure you consult the guest list with the mom-to-be – after all, it’s as much a party for her as it is for her upcoming baby.
While home gatherings are sweet, hosting at a dedicated venue takes the pressure off. No need to cook, clean, or rearrange the living room. A professionally hosted shower gives you:
