Don’t surprise her because shower is usually thrown about a month or two before the due date of the birth. So, make sure that mom is feeling well enough at that particular time in her pregnancy. And also try to give ample information of your plans. So that she could enjoy the ceremony.

  • Don’t: – Skimp on the food and cake

As it is a baby shower and the baby is the guest of honor so it doesn’t mean that    food and treats should be baby sized. So, don’t limit yourself to finger food choose a meal and go for it. Most of the shower ceremony is thrown during the day but hosting a nice dinner party is a great option too.

  • Do: – Invite the guest and if possible then kids also

Though most of the baby shower tends to follow the “Women only” route as it is a traditional ceremony. It is fine if you involve other male family members and friends to the bash. Also invite the kids to make the party full of fun and entertainment.

  • Don’t: – Be insensitive

This might seem to be obvious, as welcoming a new baby can bring some strong emotions for some guest. But be friendly. That doesn’t mean that you have to walk on eggshells- just ask the mom if she is comfortable in participating in that event.
