Host Shower Planning and Guest list

It used to be the etiquette that parents-to-be should not host their own baby shower. Family, close friends or even co-workers would throw a baby shower for their loved ones. Nowadays some parents to be choose to throw their own baby shower, or they do this together with their family and close friends.

Most showers are hosted prior to the baby‰'s due date, about 4-6 weeks before.

It‰'s best to check in with the parents to be to see what their schedule permits for a date and if there are any special guests who need to be in attendance such as parents, grandparents siblings etc. As host of the shower, you can limit the guest to close family and friends depending on the location and how many people it may accommodate. Once you have a date set, you can start working on the invitations.

What to include on a baby shower invitation

Baby shower invites should be sent out at least three weeks in advance using the guest list you‰'ve worked on with the parents to be. Baby shower invitation wording can be written from a cute rhyme to a simple invitation for a baby shower. Regardless of the form, be sure to include the following information for your guests:

Date &Time: Sunday, the twenty-eighth of July or July 28th

Location: address and or map/directions

The expecting mother or couple's name

Name of host(s)/hostess(es) & RSVP information
