Don't Forget The Party Favors For Your Baby Shower – thank your guests for coming to the party and for contributing with a special gift from the heart

The Opening Of The Gifts At Your Baby Shower – The expectant mother needs to be seated in a position that makes her the center of attention and the gift giving needs to have a sense of real occassion. It's great to have a range of large and small baby shower gifts … and don't forget to read any special notes or messages from loved ones who couldn't make it.

Creating A Registry For Your Baby Shower – Shower guests love to get something special for the baby and mom. Be prepared in advance with a gift registry because you will start getting calls from guests as soon as the invitations are sent out.

Catering Your Shower – Your shower menu will depend on your theme, the time of day the shower is being held, and how much time and money you have to invest. Of course, it will also depend on how many guests are attending and to some degree the theme of the shower.

Managing Your Baby Shower -  BabyShowerKit.com has some excellent suggestions for managing your guests, your shower helpers and the general flow of the party.

If it turns out that you do not know the sex of the baby, then you don't  need to worry, because this is really not that important. You can still make the venue look great by using neutral colors such as taupe or tan, or if you know what the mom-to-be’s favorite color is then you can go with that and that is sure to please her.
