Baby Shower Checklist
Using a checklist 
is a proven strategy that all successful planners can’t do without!
You can just make a checklist up yourself or if you’d like something special, there are heaps of different types you can chose from.
These are some of our favorites, use one that is the easiest for you.
As busy working moms we have no time for errors so detailed checklists help keep us on track with everything we need for our babyshowers.
We usually use laundry checklists because we don’t always complete each item in order.
Our website will provide you with great tips for creating useful babyshower checklists.
Gender-themed Babyshowers
There are so many beautiful ideas available now for gender-themed baby showers, it can be hard to choose!
There’s no rules to say though that you have to stay with pink decorations and food for a baby girl themed baby shower.
There’s no rules to say it has to be blue all the way for a baby boy themed baby shower either!
Baby girl themes range from adorable princess-like decorations to gorgeous soft pastel colors that inspire the young girl within us all.
Similarly, there are some really great baby boy themes ranging from sports inspired decorations to race cars and dinosaurs.

There’s some great new baby shower trends emerging too. Some couples choose to have a gender reveal party where they tell their friends the gender of the baby at the shower. How exciting is that!
Some people also choose to have quirky babyshowers with adorable party favors, food and games.

Baby Shower Favor Ideas
With 7 young children we’ve all had babyshowers ourselves!
We’ve also thrown lots of baby showers for our colleagues, our friends and family members too.
It’s always so exciting!
One of the things we really like to do, to make all our babyshowers really memorable, is to give our guests great party favors to take home.
Very few people tend to consider providing guests with party favors at a babyshower.
Party favors don’t need to be expensive at all, so give a small but thoughtful, beautiful gift and make a lasting impression on all your friends.
To help you make your babyshower memorable and we’ve presented here some of our very best baby shower favor ideas.
Fun Baby Shower Games
Babyshowers shouldn’t be boring!
Try games such as “Pin the Sperm on the Egg” or “Pregnant Twister”.
There’s more ideas here and we have several other games on this website that will add spice to your babyshower.
Some of your guests may not be able to enjoy the liberating experience of drinking alcohol, but you can make some great and memorable ‘mocktails’ for the occasion!
You can be as rowdy as you like and have loads of fun!

Creating the Baby Shower Guest List
To have the best fun you need to have your best people with you. All the people that make you happy.
It’s tempting to include everyone Mom-to-be knows for the big celebration but we know that the most important component of a great babyshower is inviting the right people.
Think about who cares for Mom-to-be the most, who is the best fun, who likes to help get everyone joining in, who likes doing the dishes afterwards.
Include all your ‘most important’ people first to create the best guest list.
When you’ve decided on your list, we’ll help you to choose the right baby shower template for your invitations.
Choosing the Best BabyShower Location
There’s generally lots of choice on where to hold the babyshower. We’ll show you here some great options.
We’ll take you through a baby shower at work and baby shower at home. Then there’s lots of other choices from the local café to the gym, a beautiful restaurant and more besides.
Where and when you host the babyshower is very important because these factors will determine who you invite, the decorations you use, and the food to serve.
We’ll provide you with all our best tips to help you get the location right.
We even help you to think outside the box!
