Even if you're a party-throwing maven—with ideas galore for parties celebrating everything from birthdays and weddings—hosting a baby shower is no joke. First, you need to reacquaint yourself with some baby shower etiquette rules. Then you have to come up with just the right baby shower theme that will please both guests and the mother-to-be. Once you've settled on your one-of-a-kind party plan, you have to send out invites in a timely manner and put together just the right mix of on-theme decor—something that leans toward tasteful rather than tacky. You also have to come up with a delightful menu (preferably something featuring finger sandwiches, a delicious cake, and maybe a nice pomegranate punch?).
But wait! Even after you've done all that, there's still more to do. How do you plan to entertain your guests? Will you play baby shower games? Will you have the mother-to-be open gifts at the shower? Who will take down all the gift information so that future mom can write the appropriate thank you notes? And what on earth are you going to give parting party guests? Luckily, we've got you covered on the last item—we have 25 perfectly personal shower favors that will make even your toughest-to-please guest crack a smile.
