Baby Shower Party Favors Boy

When you are planning to throw a Baby Shower, there are a lot of preparations that must go into the celebration. Your responsibility includes more than buying a gift. You are responsible for finding where to throw the Baby Shower, decorating for the baby shower, and feeding everyone who attends. If you are doing all of the collecting and purchasing of Baby Shower Party supplies, here is a list that may give you some assistance.

Paper Goods:

This includes the invitations, the thank you cards and all the paper supplies you will need for the baby shower. There are many paper Baby Shower Party supplies you must purchase before the event, including:

• Invitations

• Paper plates

• Napkins

• Plastic silverware

• Thank you notes

Decorations:

Anything you plan to use to spruce up the location of the baby shower falls into this category. You can purchase some or all of these Baby Shower Party supplies for the event you are organizing.

• Streamers

• Balloons

• Centerpieces for the tables

• Congratulations sign

• Flowers

Food:

The food at your event will depend a great deal on time of day and budget. Many Baby Showers only have cake and coffee, and this is perfectly acceptable. However, you have to decide the extent of your offerings.

• Dinner Shower – if you have a limited budget, make your dinner baby shower a pot luck dinner.

o Coffee, tea, soft drinks and punch

o Salad

o Main course

o Side dishes

o Dessert

o Shower cake

• Finger Food Showers – great for those between meal showers between lunch and dinner.

o Coffee, tea, soft drinks

o Finger sandwiches

o Deviled eggs

o Veggie tray

o Fruit tray

o Shower cake

• Dessert – perfect for the evening baby shower after the dinner hour.

o Coffee and tea

o Shower cake

o Ice cream – optional

If you are in charge of the Baby Shower Games, that will include several different supplies as well. Most important are the little gifts to give away as prizes.

Need help with a baby shower!!?

My friend is having a baby-boy soon. Her shower is next week. I’ve been selected to help the main party person. We need ideas for games, prizes, favors etc. There’s no theme really, just baby and boy. We’re having it at a pizza parlor, so nothing fancy either.

Any help is appreciated.

Give safety pins out and anyone who gets caught saying baby has to give the catcher their safety pin. Whoever has the most at the end wins.
People choose whether features/personality will be more like mom or dad. Mom also chooses and whoever gets closest to mom wins.
Try different baby foods and see if you can figure out what they are (choose some of the ones we think are really gross and some that are just pureed fruit).

The prizes at my friend’s shower were plants, and it’s something that will actually remind the person to think of the baby.
