It’s almost time! You’ve organized, planned, shopped, and now there are just a few days left to the big event!
Finalize Menu and Go Shopping
Now is the time to finalize what you are going to serve at the baby shower. Write down all the ingredients, beverages, and place setting needs that you might have and let’s hit the grocery store. Now’s also the time to take inventory on what you might be missing. Need any extra film or decorations that may have been left out on the first round of shopping?
Confirm Reservations
If you have reservations for a baby shower venue, call and re-confirm. Ensure that the venue has enough chairs, tables and dishes, and that you’ll be let in early enough to set up any decorations.
Extras
Here are some other ideas that you might want to take care of in this last week before the baby shower:
- Designate a photographer and/or videographer to capture the event for the parents-to-be
- Set out disposable cameras at the baby shower so guests can snap impromptu shots
- Take a photo of each guest with the parents-to-be as they leave the baby shower, and include the photo with each thank you note
- Create a gift tracker, or use a guest book, and designate a gift recorder so you know who to send a thank you card to
- Have a small back pillow and footstool for the mother-to-be so she can be comfortable
