The first step in planning and hosting baby showers success is to prepare the guest list. Creating the initial guest list will help determine how many people will be invited. The number of guests to the usually the most important factor in the development of its budget. It is always a good idea to determine if the mama-to-be going to have another baby shower given by family members or friends.
Talk to the mom-to-be family members and friends about other dates and list. Apart from members of his immediate family, no need to invite people who are attending the mother-to-be baby showers, unless you want. Make sure you have the addresses and current phones for all. This allows you to use the guest list to keep track of RSVPs. And you can give the mom-to-Be by what will the right direction around the world to send personalized baby shower thank cards.
The hostess is likely to have an idea of the the mother-to-Be wants to invite baby shower, but it is always a safe bet to run the guest list for the mommy-to-BE to make sure nobody was left out of the list. If not for the first born, you may want to invite only those close to the mommy-to-be or those who have not attended previous showers.
Here is a quick summary of things to remember when preparing the Guest List
a. Check with the mom-to-be to the results list as to who should send baby shower invitations
b. Make sure there is no scheduling conflicts with the important people attend, as mom-to-be, her mother, her husband, if it is a couples baby shower and best friends
c. Invited guests give enough time to buy gifts. Habit and custom invitation should be mailed four to six weeks before the date of the shower
d. The printed cards should include the name of the mom-to-be host, location, date, address, emergency phone number, RSVP, where the mommy-to-be registered, the theme of baby shower and any other relevant information
Although clients may be invited to the shower by phone or email, sending personal invitations remains the preferred way to invite the baby shower guests. Personalized invitations are a great way to set the theme of the party and also a reminder for guests to keep on your bulletin board or refrigerator door. You can buy invitations and get the invitations exactly as you want with all your personal information.
When customizing your invitations print, be sure to include all relevant information, that: (a) Name of mother-to-Be and hostess, (b) location, (c) Date and time (d) Directions, (e) Telephone number in case of emergency, (f) RSVP (g) When the mom-to-be registered and (h) Theme for Baby Shower
Invitation Men or not to invite men to the baby shower – Invite men depends on the type of shower you are planning. Guys are probably not interested in traditional games and cutesy foods while ooohing and aaahing over a mom-to-be's tummy! That said, a baby shower can be a special event for dad-to-be and moms-to-be if they are organized with women and men in mind.
If the shower is not a surprise, be sure to check with mom-to-be as to whether the father-to-be (and his friends) would enjoy a celebration. If games are planned in your baby shower, make sure that "men friendly". Have plenty of food available to their male guests. And it would be a nice touch to include gifts that are special for dad-to-be, an "I love my daddy" bib for baby, a book about fathers and sons or maybe a father can bring within the office to show a new image of your baby!
