Right Words for a Baby Shower

Baby showers are a prelude to miracle which is the birth of a newborn baby. This baby shower usually happens a month or 2 in advance and making the right invitation can be just as challenging as planning the entire event.

The one who will host this event is usually a very close friend of future mother. The proper words should express the love and anticipation that the future mother has for the newborn baby. If the newborn baby is a boy, a good example for a theme is a sailboat. The invitation can be shaped into a little sailboat then on the inside; it can start off with the “row the boat” nursery rhyme before inviting the people to the shower party.

If during the discussion with the future mother one has learned that the sex of the baby is to be kept a secret until the shower party itself; one can make an invitation with a cute drawing of a baby wrapped inside a blanket carried by a stork. A challenging invitation is when the parents have not decided on the name of the baby yet. One can make an invitation that has various letters of the alphabet that will give people an idea that this occasion is to help out decide on the baby’s name.

There are other ideas and themes to make the shower a memorable occasion. It just takes some planning and little imagination to make this baby shower stand out over others that people have gone to.

The host can do alone, plan it with other friends or get a professional to help out.
