Hey dears. I don't know about you but sometimes planning an event can get a little stressful, especially if it's your own. Sometimes the best thing to do is start early & make a list. Here's how I like to plan mine.
- Pick a Date: This by far is the most important detail is planning a baby shower. You can't really do to much planning with having a date. So have a date in mind early on to be able to start setting things up.
- Pick a theme: For any kind of party or shower always pick your theme first so you can start looking up ideas. Pinterest is great for this. Find things you like, know which direction you want to know, plan a budget for decorations & supplies.
- Find a location: If you not hosting the party at your house, start out reaching fairly early on to friends or halls you're able to rent. It usually best to do this early on like I said due to depending in your event falls during a holiday or a certain season, some places tend to book up really fast.
- Food & desserts: Always get help from others when supplying food. Food, depending on whether you stick a full course meal or finger foods, can get a little pricey. Ask friends and family if they would be able to bring a dish, everyone is great at making something. You'll end up with a variety & more cost efficient of your part.
- Favors & Games: Both of these are completely optional. I know many people cannot stand playing games at parties & others love it, so it's more your preference. I usually like to do some sort of favor at my parties/showers, but that just my personal preference.
- Don't Go At It Alone: Sometimes letting others help plan certain events is usually a better way to go. For example, my shower I've enlisted the help of our mothers & sisters. It helps take the stress load so not as much affects you and baby.
