Having a baby is an exciting event, and the celebratory showers are reasons for everyone to gather around and spread the cheer, be it for a first baby, a long awaited heir for the family or an adoption long in the happening. But, if you’re the one appointed to host the shower, the first thought going through your mind may be where on earth is everyone going to sit? Taking care of the Baby Shower Chair Rentals St Augustine is one concern, along with food, games, gifts and decorations, but don’t feel overwhelmed. Hosting a baby shower isn’t that difficult, and after all, it’s the coming together of family and friends that is most important.
SEATING
Since seating is most important on your mind, take care of that first. Assuming you plan on a large guest list, perhaps you don’t plan on having the shower at your home, but at a rec hall, the basement of a church or a community room at a fire house. If they don’t have enough chairs there, plan on Baby Shower Chair Rentals instead. Baby Shower Chair Rentals St Augustine can easily be rented for around 1.50 each and that’s a small investment to make sure everyone has a seat. Make sure you have an extra wide and padded seat reserved for the mother to be!
FOOD
Don’t feel like you have to make all the food yourself, unless you’re just a martyr. You have family and friends around to help and a supermarket on the corner with a wonderful deli. People want to be fed, yes. But they’re not coming for the food alone. They’re coming for the fellowship, so just make sure there’s a nice big sheet cake that can be cut into a zillion pieces and a big punch bowl with some sort of ice ring floating in it. Ask your family and friends to bring whatever their specialty is and set it out in a pretty bowl. Guests will eat it, guaranteed.
INVITATIONS
Again, you don’t have to spend a fortune on your invitations. If the folks on your invite list are computer literate, use an online evite list to send them all invitations and track their responses that way, too. Otherwise, you can print your invitations on the computer easily. Templates are available online where all you have to do is plug in your details and a picture of the expectant couple.
