Planning A Baby Shower
First Steps: Setting A Date
Baby showers are generally held during the last trimester of pregnancy, or about 1 - 3 months before the expected due date. Keep in mind that due dates are just estimates and the baby can come any time in the two weeks before the due date, up to two weeks after the due date. For this reason, you really should not plan a baby shower any closer than one month before the due date. In the case of twins, multiples or an at-risk pregnancy, the shower should be held even earlier. It will also give the momma-to-be time to organize all the fabulous shower gifts and stock up on anything additional items she needs after the shower.
Setting A Date Considerations:
- Make sure the mother to be is available on your desired shower date!
- If you plan to hold a surprise shower, you will have to be sneaky about making sure your guest of honor is available and does not make other plans. Pregnant women can be terribly stubborn and cranky, so enlist an accomplice to "book" her for a fake appointment if needed.
- If you plan to have the shower anywhere other than your own home (location info), then you would need to make sure the desired venue is available before setting a date.
