Holding The Shower

Actually, you’ve done quite a bit of work (applaud yourself!). But there’s still more work to do. Now you’re really into the zone, and it’s time to figure out what you’re going to do at the shower.

Now, this may seem like a strange section. After all, people will show up at the shower, they’ll hug, smile, laugh, cry (joyfully, of course), and have a good time. That part is taken care of. Yet there’s more to it than this.

In addition to the natural events that are going to occur at the baby shower, you want to continue managing during the shower. In other words, you want to have things for your invitees to do, and for them to drink/eat.

Let’s look at each of these important aspects below.

• Food
  Having a wide selection is also important; and we discuss this in some detail in the “Insider’s Tips” section of this book. Suffice it to say, try and have enough variety to account for tastes and dietary preferences. Nowadays, the wise approach is often to allow guests to do a little bit of preparing themselves.
