Few things are more exciting than an upcoming birth, and soon-to-be moms deserve a day of celebration! If you’re planning a baby shower, Marians Catering on Oahu offers three simple tips for hosting the festivities.

3 Insider Tips for Throwing a Baby Shower 

Pick the Right Date

Generally speaking, baby showers are held in the third trimester of pregnancy. Leave a few weeks of space between the party and the due date to accommodate any early births and give the mom-to-be the time and space to emotionally and physically prepare for the arrival of her baby. This way, she’ll also have time to set up gifts from the shower and decide what else she still needs to purchase before the baby’s arrival.

Curate the Perfect Guest List

Even if the mom-to-be has many friends who’d like to attend the shower, there could be cost and space limitations you’ll need to consider. Invite family and close friends first, and then gradually widen the invitation circle. You’ll want to ask people who’ve offered support to attend the shower, too.

Hire Catering Services

Take some of the burden of party planning off your shoulders and hire a local catering service to plan and execute the menu. Professional caterers will custom design your courses, prepare the food, and clean up after the event. Even if you’re able to perform all these tasks yourself, you’ll want to spend this time making sure everything else for the shower runs smoothly. Plus, you want to be able to enjoy the party, too!

Planning and executing the perfect baby shower doesn’t have to be stressful. With a little creative thinking, a reputable catering company, and a plan, everyone can appreciate the celebrations.
