If the answer is yes, then go ahead and be sure to invite all her nearest and dearest girlfriends and relations, but if the answer is no, think hard before planning a surprise. Without the mommy-to-be&rsquo;s input you could find yourself leaving off vital members of her social group, or, <a href=\"https:\/\/alphamom.com\/pregnancy\/baby-showers-uninvited-plus-ones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">inviting people<\/a> she would never dream about talking to outside of work. A baby shower can still be a magical occasion without it being a full-on surprise, and your friend will be happier knowing everyone she loves has been invited rather than being surprised by a room full of people she barely knows.\n<\/p>\n<h2>The Venue<\/h2>\n<p>\nAs the hostess, you may want to host the party at your home, but if your space isn&rsquo;t large enough for a baby shower it is perfectly fine to hire a small room at a local venue. There is a certain convenience to hosting the party at your own home however as you can begin decorating it as early as you like, and you won&rsquo;t be in danger of forgetting anything vital and having to rush back to get anything. If the mother-to-be is on the party, they may even want it to be held in their home, so discuss it with her first so she is as <a href=\"https:\/\/preemietwins.com\/enjoy-comfortable-pregnancy\/\">comfortable during the party<\/a> as possible.\n<\/p>\n<h2>Food for Thought<\/h2>\n<p>\nOnce you have established the guest-list, and where it will be held it is time to decide on the food. If it is a fairly casual event finger food is perfectly acceptable, but for a larger party you may want to consider bringing in the caterers to make it easier for you. One vital component of the baby shower is the cake, and a personalised cake will be appreciated by the mother-to-be. Personalise cakes can sometimes be expensive, but a store such as Costco offers these types of cakes at extremely reasonable prices. Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allcakeprices.com\/costco-cakes-and-prices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Costco Cake Order Form 2017<\/a> for a customised cake.\n<\/p>\n<h2>Games<\/h2>\n<p>\nNo baby shower is complete without a series of fun, and sometimes embarrassing, games for everyone to enjoy. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parents.com\/baby\/shower\/games\/fun-baby-shower-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Parents.Com<\/a> has a whole host of baby shower games ideas, including hide the bump, word scramble, name the celebrity baby, don&rsquo;t call me baby, and what will baby look like? Many of these games take a lot of preparation so be sure to research these games well in advance so you can get everything that is needed will ahead of time.<\/p>\n<p>Planning and arranging a baby shower can be hard work, so enlist the help of some friends to ensure everything goes to plan.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A baby shower is a beautiful way to show your best friend how excited you are for the arrival of their little one, and also a great way to get all the girls together for a fab party.
