Times have changed. Baby showers--at least the showers of cucumber sandwiches and stale talk--have gone to the way side as many women opt to have a more casual atmosphere in which women can swap stories, fill advice books, and appreciate the anticipation of a new life. But there's more to it than putting out a few platters. Preparing to host the event can be quite the daunting event. You'll need to decide on decorations, invitations, favors, party-style, food, and, of course, the entertainment.
Discussing the event first with the expectant mom is appropriate, is appreciated, and can alleviate a great deal of stress for the host. Find out if she wants an all-girls day at the spa, the cozy party at home, or a co-ed blow-out. Today is, after all, a time when even men attend baby showers. With the expectant mom's help, she'll narrow down the type of party and the food list. She probably has a few items that aren't agreeing with her at the moment. Be courteous of those cravings and distastes. Then, you can tackle the rest of the prep work.
Once the style of party has been selected, now you need to decide on how to fill-up your time. Baby shower games have not gone out the door.
