- Can immediate family members host a baby shower? Traditionally, a family member should not host a shower for a daughter, sister or other close relative. However, when good friends don't offer to step in, an immediate member of the family can get by with hosting a small (or large) gathering, in honor of the mother, and to celebrate the upcoming birth.
- How far in advance should baby shower invitations be sent out? Invitations should be sent anywhere from four to six weeks in advance. Summer is a busy travel time and vacations are often planned months ahead. Be prepared to see more RSVP declines during the summertime. Sending out the invitation sooner rather than later gives the recipients the opportunity to mark their calendar and, when possible, make plans around the special day.
- Should the host(s) include the mom-to-be in the planning of the shower? It's important to ask how involved she would like to be in the process. Some future mothers want to pick out their own invitations, while others may be comfortable with being totally surprised. Ask about details, such as if the mother-to-be would like party games, a particular theme or if she has a color preference. The guest of honor should compile an accurate guest list and give it to her host(s) early, allowing them to send out the invitations in a timely manner. While the expectant mother may offer some input, she should not anticipate micromanaging the event. Continue reading
