Step 1: Selecting the location, date and time

You need to be sure of the total number of people who will be attending the shower before selecting the location. It would be a good option to host it at your own house as it would become a little more personal and comfortable. For the date, plan the baby shower at least a month before the due date. Keeping the party on a weekend will enable outstation guests and relatives to attend too. Also, choose a time which is convenient for everyone. An afternoon brunch party would ideally be perfect.

Step 2: Select the theme

Being the host, it is your responsibility to choose the perfect theme for the shower. Also being her best friend, you are well aware of her likes and dislikes. So, try to select a theme that she would love at once.

• The location
• Date and Time
• The dress code (if any)
• The contact number of the host
• An itinerary to the entire event

Step 4: Planning the fun activities

For the success of any baby shower, you need to plan a number of fun activities such as games, karaoke, etc. Plan such games that are related to the baby. For example, you could play a game of scrabble only with baby names. Games and other such activities keep all the guest busy and entertained. Even the mother-to-be enjoys herself playing these baby related games.
