Assessable Entry Four
Occasion: Baby Shower
Baby showers and Welcome Home Baby/Welcome to the World Baby are a great reason to
get friends and family together with a reason to celebrate. They give everyone
(friends and family) a chance to dote upon the new (or almost due) addition to

The baby shower emporium is filled with
great ideas and items that help you bring this event from an everyday gathering
to a memorable event you can tell your kids about and reminisce over at their
21st birthday.
Martha Stewart’s website also offers some
great left-of-center theme ideas for your next baby shower. Some of her ideas have
been listed above, although the website is an encyclopedia of ideas for a baby
shower, include themes, food, activities and what shower necessities you should
also have.
PerfectBabyShower.com almost makes event
manager obsolete for these kinds of events! It has a section called How to Host a Baby Shower which is
filled with answers to the important questions that planners are always asked,
e.g. should you invite other children, should there being a theme, when to
throw the party, who to invite (etiquette) and what food should be served?
Lets remember that this kind of event is
really more about the parents, friends and family of the new arrival – not
necessarily focused on what the baby would or would not like. Which means that
although the decorations will be focusing on the baby, the food & drink,
activities and music will be centered on what the parents have chosen to suit
the occasion.
This means that as an event coordinator you
will be dealing with essentially 2 clients with different tastes and
requirements that will have to harmonize successfully on the day of the event.
This kind of event may seem like a simple
one to start with but I feel that individuals who can handle the hormones of a
pregnant woman and the stress organizing an event at the same time should only
take on an event such as a Baby Shower.
