Press Release Body: When are Best Time and Best Place to Have the Baby Showers

Planning and attending a baby shower is a joyous occasion. Deciding when and where
to hold the baby shower party can seem overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be.
Whatever the type of baby shower planned or when it is held, ensuring that the
Mom-to-Be has a great and memorable time is most important. This is the time when
those around the expectant mother can shower the mother with love and excitement for
her new arrival. Read More About

Have a Baby Shower.

Determining the date for the baby shower will largely depend on if the Mom-to-Be
prefers to have a welcome home baby shower or a traditional baby shower. Regardless
of when the shower is held, the personalized baby shower invitations should be
mailed between four to six weeks prior to the shower party. The baby shower should
definitely be held at least a month or two prior to the due date of the baby. Unless
the Mom-to-Be have decided not to find out the gender of the baby, the baby shower
theme and

custom invitations for baby shower should reflect the gender of the baby. If it is a
twins baby shower or multiple baby shower, then the shower theme can be specific to
a twins baby shower party.

Having welcome home baby showers have become more popular, which is usually held a
month or two after the baby is born to allow for the parents to adjust to their new
life with their baby. Regardless of when the shower is held, it is best not to hold
it too close to the due date of the baby, either before or after. The printed
welcome home baby invitations can be personalized with the appropriate theme of the
shower party.

Before setting the date, find out from out of town guests or important guests if
they are available on the dates that are being considered. If the plan is to have
the baby shower at a location other than a home, then it is important to keep in
mind that it will be more expensive if the shower is held on a Friday night or
Saturday. Sundays seem to be the least expensive day to hold showers if it is held
at a location other than a home.

When choosing a location, the first thing to consider is if the place chosen is big
enough to accommodate a large group - having everyone comfortable will allow for a
more relaxed baby shower. Hosting a baby shower in a home will save money; however,
money will still be spent on baby shower party supplies like plates, napkins, cups,
eating utensils and potentially renting tables. If holding the baby party at a
restaurant has been decided, then ensure that the location is booked early. Visiting
the locations would be wise to ensure that the space will hold the invited guests,
gifts and still have enough room to maneuver around for baby shower games,
decorations, etc.

Deciding on the type, sending the

invitations cards are an important time for the Mom-to-Be and her family. Between
the host and the Mom-to-Be, the type of baby shower invitations may be a baby shower
announcement because the shower itself will be a co-ed baby shower or couples baby
shower. This is also a great time to purchase the baby shower thank you cards,
keeping with the theme of the baby shower.
