How to Throw a Baby Shower
I am throwing a baby shower for my friend soon. It should be great fun. We have lots of friends who are girls and I am sure that they would love to come and celebrate with us. I have quite a few jobs to do beforehand. I have decided on all the food that I am doing ' I have found a lovely cake and then I just need to make some sandwiches and nibbles to go with it. I am not going to make too much food because it is an afternoon party and so people are not likely to be that hungry and I am sure that most of us will be watching our weight, as most girls seem to be these days and so we will probably save ourselves and just have some cake!
I have sent out the baby shower invitations now and so hope that I will start to get some replies soon as I need to know how many people are coming. I only have limited space and have a huge guest list and so if some people say that they cannot come, I will be able to invite a few others instead if there is time to do that. I am hoping that they reply to the invitations quickly. I have got some napkins and plates and even a table cloth which match the same design as I used for the party invitations as I like everything to match. I think it looks really nice if you have a coordinated theme for a party, rather than a mishmash of different things. I have a basic blue theme as she is having a boy and have blue icing on the cake and am having a blue banner and blue china and cups on the table.
Hopefully it will all go together really well and everyone will have a good time. I need to start thinking about what gift to buy for the guest of honour and I will have great fun looking at all of the lovely baby things in the various shops as I think little clothes are so cute! I will probably end up spending loads and buy all sort of impractical things because I have not got children and so do not know what things are useful and what are not. I do remember my sister saying that she had loads of teddies and cuddly toys so I will avoid those. I am sure clothes will always be useful especially if I buy a selection of sizes.
