Baby showers are very popular as the one tradition that
almost all mothers-to-be are happy to have. Since a baby
shower is a social event certain points of etiquette should
be observed. They may vary depending on your country but the
following are the most common.

1. Usually, baby showers are held a month or two before the
birth of the baby. Having the baby shower before the birth
gives the mother time to buy the items that were not given
as gifts during the baby shower.

2. Traditionally, a close friend of the new mom hosts the
baby party. Relatives and co-workers can also host the event
but the mother of the expectant mom rarely does.

3. Baby showers are for any baby, even if it's not the first
born. Every child is a reason to celebrate.

4. It's best to choose gifts that can be useful and
something that a baby may need everyday like diapers,
feeding bottles, bibs and baby blankets.

5. It's good to have games to break the ice. Conversations,
food and drinks are the thing that should be considered. It
's also nice to have a book where the guests can write
messages to the new mom.

6. Usually, twenty people or more are invited but this will
depend on size the venue.

7. Baby showers are usually held during the weekend since
that's the most convenient time for most people. Normally a
baby shower lasts two to three hours.

8. The person hosting should buy the food and party
supplies.

9. Ideally, the baby shower is held at the home of the
person hosting the party.

10. It's a good idea to have the invitations sent at least
three weeks before the party. This will give enough time for
guests to RSVP. Do not forget to include the directions.

11. A theme for the party is not necessary but it adds life
to the party. If you are using a theme be sure your baby
shower invitations reflect it to set the mood.

12. It's proper to welcome guests when they come and thank
them when they leave. The host should always be present
during the party and should be the one attending to the
guests.
