This baby shower planner also covers bridal showers, guiding you from the first conversation with the guest of honor to the last thank-you note.

What's inside this baby shower planner

• Hosts, Guests, Timing, and Budget: A shower is a celebration built around one or two people, planned by someone else. Start by agreeing who is hosting, what the guest of honor wants, who is invited, when it will happen, and how the costs will be shared.
• Format, Theme, Space, and Invitations: Once the basics are settled, choose the shape of the shower: the format, the theme, the space, and the invitations. These choices set the tone for guests and make the rest of the planning straightforward.
• Food, Drinks, and Food Safety for Showers: Shower food is usually lighter than a full meal and served buffet-style, which makes food safety and allergens especially important. This chapter covers menus, special care when the guest of honor is pregnant, drinks, and dessert.
• Games, Activities, and Gift Opening: Games and gift opening give a shower its shape. This chapter helps you choose activities that include everyone, plan gift opening so it stays fun, and build a simple program for the event.
• Hosting the Day and Following Up: On shower day, the plan becomes a series of small tasks done in the right order. This chapter covers setup, caring for the guest of honor, handling surprises, cleanup, and the thank-yous and follow-up that close the celebration.
