A
Baby shower checklist is a great way to ensure that you stay on track.
Planning a baby shower can be a hard work. With a complete checklist
you can organize everything you need to do. Without a checklist of some
sort you may forget some important details.
Most shower checklists will suggest you start planning approximately
four weeks before the intended shower date. This will give you enough
time to do everything you need to without feeling rushed. The most
important task is to pick a date! You should confirm this with the new
mom and her immediate family as well. You don’t want anyone to feel
left out.
The baby shower invitations should be sent out approximately three
weeks before the baby shower date. Be sure to include RSVPs or request
people to phone you by a certain date. You want to have a final number
by the second week.
This is important for ordering food and planning your menu. If you
don’t receive all your RSVPs don’t by shy about calling people up and
asking if they plan to attend.
If you are planning a large baby shower you should consider asking for
help. Ask best friends, sisters, and anyone else you think might enjoy
helping out. Be sure to let the new mom know who lent a hand in
planning the baby shower. Everyone should feel appreciated.
If you are ordering food. Be sure to check with local catering
companies. Best to check about two to three weeks before the baby
shower. You don’t want to find that everyone is booked solid. If you
are ordering a cake this is best ordered at least two weeks before the
baby shower.
Most baby shower checklists will remind you to buy some baby shower
decorations. You don’t have to be extravagant if you’re on a budget.
You can find some adorable baby shower decorations that will liven up
the party space. But really all you need are perhaps some streamers,
and a banner.
Planning party games is another important task on your baby shower
checklist that must not be forgotten. Be sure to take some time
deciding on the games you wish to play. If you think it sounds boring,
it probably is. Trust your instinct when looking for fun baby shower
games.
With all that’s going on, don’t forget to wrap the gifts! You may also
want to wrap gifts such as party favors or prizes for the baby shower
guests. If you want to do a good job try and not leave this until the
last minute.
The above are just a few of the many things found on a baby shower
checklist. Planning a baby shower is a lot of work, a checklist can
help to make things that much easier.
