When selecting an outfit, remember that some baby shower games involve a lot of moving around.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Select "dressy casual" clothing for a shower at which cocktails will be served.
Step2
Dress in casual attire for a party held at a sporting event or for picnics.
Step3
Read between the lines: Wear pearls and cashmere if you've received an engraved invitation for tea and crumpets; wear jeans and a sweater for a backyard barbecue.
Step4
Choose "corporate casual" for showers that take place after work - most people will be in work attire.
Step5
Find out what other people plan to wear before choosing your outfit.

Tips & Warnings

  • When in doubt, ask the host or hostess.
  • Before you call the expectant parents to ask about the shower, make sure that the party is not a surprise.
