The Baby Shower is usually planned between the 7th and 8th month of pregnancy. At this stage of pregnancy, the mother-to-be is well, and all the more available because she is on maternity leave. Nevertheless, out of superstition, some women will prefer to organize it after the birth of the baby.
You, mother-to-be, can decide to organize your own Baby Shower! Or, to delegate, as tradition dictates, to someone close to you.
Most often, the Baby Shower is organized at the future mother’s home. The advantage is that she won’t need to travel. On the other hand, if it is a surprise, you will have to be discreet and plan the future daddy in confidence. Also, you can organize the party at a relative’s home or in an original place. In a garden or park, a café or restaurant, in a baby store, at a creative workshop, in a meadow, on the beach, in the mountains… In short, think of a place that reflects the personality of the mother-to-be!.

Who are the guests ?
The Baby Shower is initially a party strictly reserved for women. However, morals are changing and this rule is becoming more flexible by allowing men to attend this small party. So nothing forbids you to organize a mixed party.
You can invite your close entourage : the moms, your brothers and sisters as well as some friends. If you want to fully enjoy your day, plan a maximum of fifteen people.

In addition to the decoration centered around the birth, it will be necessary to think of the various animations which you wish to propose.

Here are a few ideas for activities that will satisfy a large number of you:

- the riddles: on the first name, the date of birth, his weight, his height, who the baby will look like the most…,
- change a baby’s diaper as quickly as possible, blindfolded or not,
- make an impression of the mother’s belly using a kit or specialized plaster,
- the photo game: take baby pictures of your guests and guess who it’s for.
