The big day is here!

Congratulations, you are now a parent. This journey has been one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences you’ve ever had. But, as we all know, it’s not without its challenges. One challenge for many parents is finding time to do the things that will prepare them for their new arrival.

You may feel like you need to be a superwoman or super dad 24/7 if you’re going to get everything done! Why not reach out and ask your friends and family for help? The offer of a hand can go a long way in helping you relax and focus on what matters most: your health and your baby’s health! Being prepared by stocking up on some essentials before birth means that when delivery day comes around, you will have plenty of time to enjoy those precious moments with your baby instead of worrying about whether or not you have what it takes to take care of them.

Who to invite?

If you want to make your baby shower a little more personal, then invite only the people you know will be there. This way it will feel more intimate and less stressful. You can always invite the entire family to the party too if you’d like!

Social media and announcements

When it comes to your baby’s arrival, sharing the news on social media is a great way to announce the good news. You can also create a Facebook event to invite family and friends to celebrate your new bundle of joy with you.

If you want to make things even more personal, consider sending out an announcement through email. This will allow for people who are unable or unwilling to participate in the festivities but would still like to wish you well, the opportunity to do so.

Lastly, if you’re having a baby shower, be sure to take plenty of pictures! They will provide you with lasting memories of this wonderful time in your life.

Preparing for the baby shower

The best way to prepare for your baby shower is by planning ahead. One of the most important things to do is to decide on a theme. You can’t go wrong with traditional themes like “Once Upon A Time” or “A New Day.” If you’re looking for something more modern, then try “Modern Times” or “Nature’s Bounty.” Themed parties are always fun because they provide a great opportunity to get creative and make memories with your friends.

Planning what food you’ll serve at the party is one of the most important things for your guests. Picking out snacks that are healthy and taste delicious will make it easier on you in the long run. It’s also good to take into consideration any allergies or dietary restrictions that may have been communicated by any of your guests beforehand.

Now, let’s move on to some DIY gifts that are sure to be loved by mom-to-be! Whether you’re looking for an easy project or a high-effort present, there’s something for everyone here!

Selecting a theme

Creating a theme for your baby shower is the first step to giving it that personal touch. Whether you’re going to have a jungle-themed party or a sweet and girly soiree, there are many different ways to go about this.

Though many people think the easiest way to choose a theme is usually by gender, this can be limiting and not as fun as it could be. Themes do not need to be complicated and extravagant either! You can have fun with your friends and family by choosing a theme that you all love!

If you’re looking for some inspiration but aren’t sure where to start, try browsing online for themes. Pinterest has thousands of different designs from which you can choose! Don’t be afraid to get creative either. Remember, the world is your oyster at this point – make it as over-the-top or as humble as you want!

Baby shower games

It’s unofficially game time! What better way to celebrate the arrival of your little one than with some fun baby shower games?

For example, try this game: Write each guest’s name on an index card and place them in a bowl. Draw two cards at a time and read what they say out loud. The first person who guesses their own name is the winner.

You can also try a guessing game—each guest will need to guess what they think you’ll have for your baby. Will it be a boy or girl? What will his or her name be? Will you have twins?

This is a great ice breaker that helps guests get acquainted with each other!

Creative DIY gifts for the baby

One of the most common gifts given at baby showers is diapers. But if you want to be a little more creative, why not make your own diaper cake? This is an easy DIY project that will surely surprise your guests with how adorable it looks. A homemade diaper cake can be made out of anything from bath towels, to receiving blankets, or even old t-shirts. If you’re looking for something more sentimental, then maybe try making a onesie quilt with old baby clothes that belonged to your child or even your spouse. You can also make a personalized mobile using family photos!

One of the great things about these items is that they are personal and sentimental for both you and the parents-to-be. When you are expecting, all you need is something to show your excitement—these DIY gifts are perfect for any mom-to-be who can’t wait to meet their new addition!
