Let us stick with tradition that is here to stay and that is
celebrating the birth of a new born infant and the baby shower
party to recognize his/her forthcoming presence.
On receiving the good news about the pregnancy friends and
family gather to offer their congratulations and fuss over the
parents-to-be. But the fussing does not end there, more fuss to
come when organizing a baby shower celebration. If the baby
shower is properly planned then you will wonder what all the
fuss about.
A good time to throw a baby shower is at least a couple of
months before the due date of the new arrival. Remember there
are some cultures that do not practise celebrating in a baby
shower because of their beliefs where they believe it is bad
luck before the infants birth.
Why all the excitement over the new born where baby showers are
in order to celebrate babys being.
Think about it, you dont get a second chance because you never
have the same baby twice. So do it in style and join in the fun
for every new edition to the family.
Making plans for baby shower food is very important. You will
want the decoration theme and invitations perfect. But
perfection on the day stays with the spread you lay on the
table. You have your little prince/princess on the way now it is
time to lay a feast fit for king/queen. Popular table fillers
are Sandwiches Chips/fries Pies (pizzas.) Pasta Dessert (cakes,
cookies, ice cream, jelly.) Drinks (punch, juice, wine.) These
are just a few ideas and choices are endless but it is up to you
what you have on the day
Consider a sit down meal for all the invited guests at the baby
shower, remember this is about timing. Make sure to properly map
out your list of duties and get the scheduling of the meal
right, if not expect your plans to go all topsy turvy.
An easier option is snacks, just as appetizing and filling and
less dishes to wash if served on disposable plates. Finger
sandwiches filled with different pates, sliced chicken or turkey
with fresh salad. Dips of different flavours go down well. If
your theme for the baby party is of a Disney character then work
around this with a baby shower cake made up of the cartoon
figure which you will find makes a fabulous centrepiece also.
Remember a pretty table makes pretty eating. Decorate the table
with baby items cuddly toys, confetti, candy.
It is good to know a more intimate side to your guest then this
will give you an idea what food to serve e.g. if vegetarian no
steak if on a diet no cakes.
Draw the line on how intimate you go because this baby shower is
about THIS BABY not any future ones.
