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.
