Baby Showers are events held celebrating the news of a new baby, so it is a wise move to start organizing the occasion as soon as the word is out.
If you want the baby shower party to be a success on the day then all you have to do is greet all the guests with a smile along with a colourful decorated room.
Your choice of decor for your baby shower gathering may just involve an allotted space like the decorating of or around the banquet table. Tablecloths and napkins with cartoon characters or baby pictures emblazoned over them will brighten up that specific area - you can even place multi coloured figurines in and around the edibles.
If the gender of the baby is known at the time of the baby shower celebration then hang a pink or blue sheet behind the feast table and decorate accordingly with paper cut outs of toy boats or girlie dollies. By keeping to a particular area to decorate in the home or venue - you will have saved on time and space by not over cluttering. The space you saved will allow game activities to take place more comfortably than be confined to a certain spot.
Baby Showers need not be expensive - another penny saving idea and very cost effective one too - is to hand each guest a colourful paper hat on arrival. Personalize the headwear with a printed quote or saying, this will add a touch of uniqueness to your baby shower party. By doing this you are killing two birds with one stone, e.g. adding fun and colour to the occasion as well as it being your thank you gift donation. Novelties as such can be kept as keepsakes.
Remember the guests attending your baby shower party are not there to pass judgement on how you celebrate the good news of a baby on the way or on how you have decorated the room - this is about baby right so that is all that matters.
Cutting costs this way can give you enough savings to put by for the next edition to the family if there is to be one. Some women holding Baby Showers have no option but to cut corners with cost effective ideas to meet the needs of the child growing up. Babies are not babies for long.
Baby Showers need not cause the pocket sorrow. Plan carefully because babies of the future tend to grow up with friends - namely Tommy Hilfiger - Gucci and Reebok. That is why saving with cost cutting ideas in the early years may just help you to keep up with the child`s demands even though you may not be happy with their choice in friends.
