Date

Like we said before, baby showers are usually held a couple weeks before the baby is due. This is because the expectant mother is still somewhat comfortable to enjoy the festivities. This will also give her time to find the other things that she will need that were not given to her.

The Host

Of course the mother will always have a hand in the baby shower, but it is always good to have a second hand to help out. Delegating authority makes sure the expectant mother doesn’t spread herself too thin. The helper(s) also makes sure everything is taken care of and nothing is missed.

Venue

Choosing the right baby shower venue is important for many reasons. Number one is location. Unless you will be looking for something special like a park or something, you will want to find a central location for everyone. The venue should also be able to accommodate the capacity of the people attending.

The Guests

It is always important to plan on how many guests will be invited. You also need to think about who you will be inviting. Will it be intimate or will it just be an all-out shower party.

Caterer

Having a caterer allows you and your guests to relax and enjoy the festivities. The caterer will be able to help you choose a menu that should be able to please everyone. The only thing you might need to keep in mind, are special dietary needs of your guests.

Budget

Now that you have chosen the venue, guests and caterer, you can set a budget so that you don’t go overboard. You do still need to think about the decorations and any of the other small things.
