Planning the Perfect Baby Shower
We’ve all been there. Your best friend has announced their going to be a mother. Instantly you’ve become a party planner! This is an exciting time for the mother to be but it can be a stressful time for those in charge of planning the festivities. Fear not, this can be an easy process.
Once you’ve been charged with the planning of the party you’ll need to determine the size of the party. Keep in mind that the people you might like to see at the party might differ from the people the expected mother might like to see. Make sure you include all of the family and friends that the mom to be would want to see. Once you have the size of the party determined it will help you with how much you need to purchase for the party.
One of the pit falls of planning a baby shower is the desire to go to as many places as possible. Once a theme is established you should be able to find one place to meet all of your needs. With the popularity of the Internet, shopping online has become one of the most common places to shop because of the vast services, business and products available. However, you can still do one-stop shopping online as well. Shopping on 20 website can be just as daunting as going from store to store looking for the perfect baby shower favors .
Depending on the theme of your party it might be necessary to know if you should be planning for a little boy or a little girl so the first few weeks could be a waiting game until you know. That is, if the parents want to know. If they don’t want to know what they are having fear not; just go with a unisex party. Also, if that is the case, you can put that on the invitations so those buying gifts for the baby can buy something that would fit either a boy or a girl.
Lastly, keep in mind that a baby shower should be festive and exciting for everyone. This is a time to celebrate life and the more festive an environment is the more fun the mother will have. Baby shower favors always help to improve the fun factor and there is a wide range of favors out there for baby showers so take some time to look around to see what might get your party started off on a high note. Also, baby shower games are always a hit.
There are several online resources on some of the most popular games so this should be an easy and fun step to plan. Remember, have fun planning the party and everyone will have fun at the party!

Planning a Carnival twin Baby shower, with a Outrageous budget HELP??? Freaking OUT!?
I am planning a Carnival themed twin baby girls shower for a friends aunt’s boss, so I under allot of pressure to make her happy.
She lives around 45mins away but she picked me because I planned 4 other baby showers that turned out amazing, but all 4 of those showers were for teen moms(15 to 18years old) and their budget didnt exceed $5K but when I went to meet her today she said her budget was $820k my heart skipped a beat almost a million dollars on a baby shower!!!!
I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL PARTY PLANNER which I told her but she insisted that I am planner for her! so im sort of freaking out I have around 2months to plan the perfect carnival baby shower.
All she told me was she wanted the popcorn and pink cotton candy the rest is up to me!
So can someone please give ideas I am freaking out so much right now, I am not going to college to be any kind of planner, I am trying to become a Vet I only planned baby showers because I loved helping my friends who are pregnant. That and shes give me $8,200 commission but again I do it becuase I love helping and I dont need the money.
BUT CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE IDEAS!

$820,000??? Right…..

Teen moms had a $5,000 budget on a shower?? Seems odd to me.

Ummmm. Hate to burst your bubble, but people who have a budget that big do not have showers. Do you know the point of showers?
You are a silly little girl up past her bedtime. Troll somewhere else.
Teen moms with a 5 grand budget is unreal as well.
Also- if someone had a million dollar budget, they would NOT hire an inexperienced ‘party planner’ – especially someone whos experience is only ‘awesome teen showers’
Trolls are boring.

Well… in the off chance this is a real question……………
Just hire a party planner yourself.
Technically you would still be planning it by making all the decisions and passing them on to the party planner.

I don’t have to believe you to be able to answer the question.
