Don?t think a baby shower can be an elegant event? Think again. Today?s parties commemorate the joyous occasion in style.
A luxurious affair takes a great deal of coordination. Many questions should be addressed before the planning process begins. The host and expectant parents should discuss their ideas, preferences and expectations. Some of the subjects to be addressed include: Will both parents attend the party? How many guests will be invited? Do they want a day or evening event? The answers to these questions will dictate all location, food and preparation scheduling.
Planning a luxurious baby shower can be time consuming. To avoid undue stress, consider delegating responsibilities to a team of helpful friends and family. Recruit people to assist with detailed tasks like mailing invitations, making decorations, creating favors and cleaning duties.
Budget is the most critical component for an elegant baby shower. A high-end party typically costs more money than the standard affair. Find out what is important to the guest of honor. Would she prefer a large party or an intimate occasion? Does she want ice breaker games and activities or would she love a DJ for dancing? Address all details and determine how the finances will be spent. For example, this may mean using more money for catering and cutting back on decorations.
It is important to decide the party?s date and time early in the preparation process. This information will affect if the affair is an elegant dinner party at a high-end restaurant or a morning brunch at a quaint cafe.
Location is a critical component for a luxurious baby shower. If dad is a big music fan, rent out a local jazz club for the evening. Create a co-ed affair with hors d'oeuvres, a martini bar and live band for entertainment.
Perhaps mom loves the outdoors. She will enjoy an elegant afternoon garden party. Many mansions or parks boast beautiful gardens available for rent. Set up a tent, adorn tables with floral centerpieces and serve high-tea.
For a festive summertime occasion, host a BBQ cookout at the local lake or a clambake at the beach. If finances are tight, a cocktail party at a host?s home is a great option. Serve ?baby-sized? finger foods, play music and make the evening a relaxing, casual occasion for guests to mingle.
Today, many moms and dads are saying goodbye to the typical baby shower. Instead they are opting for stylish, elegant affairs everyone will enjoy.
