Hosting a baby shower is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give an expectant mom. To help you plan the best baby-shower ever, we've got ideas for party themes, decorations, invitations, food, games, favors and prizes. Don't forget about gifts, either. You and your guests may choose to chip in for a large gift such as a crib or furniture, or to buy individual baby toys and clothes from a gift registry of the mom-to-be's choice. Consider hiring a babysitter to attend the party or make other childcare arrangements to help with older siblings, too. The best part about baby showers, however, is simply sharing your love and joy for the mother and her baby-to-be. Making crafts, such as a personalized baby book, creates treasured keepsakes that will last well beyond baby's first birthday. Enjoy these tips for a stress-free baby shower that suits your space, time and budget!
