Instructions

1. Talk with the mother. The new mom may have an idea of the type of theme she wants. Ask her if there is anything specific she would want.

2. Look through online resources for ideas. Some websites offer great themes that can be used for baby showers. Of course, almost any theme can be turned into a baby shower with a little tweaking.

3. Ask friends for ideas. Your friends may have some fantastic ideas. Asking others may also be a great way to enlist help. Planning a party takes work and if you have someone to delegate to, it will make it easier and less stressful.

4. What do you want? Do you want this party to be traditional, fun, or unique? If the mother-to-be doesn't care, then you decide. Of course, be careful not to pull the attention away from the new mom and baby, this isn't about you.

5. Look at your list of possible themes and decide what will work best for your party. A simple gathering, a pampering mom day, a brunch, a luau or any other idea might be best for your group.
