It used to be that baby showers were hosted by someone outside the family, like co-workers, a friend, a symbolic aunt, a church member and so on. But nowadays, anyone, other than the Mommy-to-Be and her mom, can host the baby shower. When it comes right down to it, the only person who absolutely should not host the baby shower is the expecting mom herself! Usually it is the best friend, aunt or sister who hosts the Mommy-to-Be the baby shower. It is also perfectly acceptable for two or more people to host the baby shower. It can be fun for a group of friends to share the responsibilities and excitement of planning and hosting this special event. The important thing is that someone takes the initiative to host the shower. What a wonderful display of caring for a growing family and a special way to help welcome a new life into the world. The hostess will need to ensure the baby shower invitations, baby shower thank you cards, baby shower party decorations and baby shower party supplies are ordered that match the overall theme of the baby shower.

The first step to planning and hosting successful baby showers is to prepare the guest list. Creating the initial baby shower guest list will assist in determining how many people will be invited to the baby shower. The number of guests invited to the baby shower is usually the biggest factor in developing your baby shower budget. It's always a good idea to determine if the Mommy-to-Be is going to have other baby showers given by her family member or friends. Talk to the Mommy-to-Be's family members and friends about the other baby shower dates and baby shower invitation list. Other than her immediate family members, there is no need to invite people that are attending the Mommy-to-Be's other baby showers unless you want to. You will need to the mailing addresses to the Mommy-to-Be so she will have everyone's correct address to send personalized baby shower thank you cards.
