Traditionally, a baby shower is organized in the 7th month or in the last trimester of the pregnancy. If you are organizing a shower for your friend or family member, here are a few things that you need to decide :

?

? Set the date for the baby shower.
? Prepare your guest list. Decide whether it?s going to be ladies only or couples party.
? Choose the venue ? baby showers are usually held at home, but with changing times, they are being held extensively at restaurants, banquet halls and parks.
? Make sure your invites are ready to be dispatched /mailed.

?

Here are some fabulous baby shower ideas:

?

Mom and baby themes: Think about what the expectant mother loves; her hobbies or areas of interest. For instance, if she is a huge sports fan, have a shower around the same theme?baby items with team colors and mascots. As return gifts, you can also give away tiny team jerseys as souvenir.

?

Sleep Over: How about having a sleep over baby shower? Throw a girlfriends? slumber party?just like the good old days. If accommodation is a problem, you can have the same at a nearby bed and breakfast or even better, a spa hotel. This will give the women a great chance to catch up on all the gossip before the new arrival.

?

Get the Spa home: Who doesn?t like to be pampered and indulged? Though a modern day trend, this theme is gradually catching up. Get spa professionals home and give everyone massages, facials, manis and pedis. .

Paint your own pottery: Make the godh bharai a fun filled event with ?paint your own? pottery studio. Indulge guests in pottery making. They can paint their own pots and within no time there can be a full set of custom baby tableware ready when the little one arrives.

Godh bharai is a beautiful time for the entire family to come together and rejoice the pregnancy. Here are a few tips that you need to keep in mind for the lady in question on her special day:

?

? Make sure she gets adequate rest before the ceremony. With the various rituals, it might get a little hectic for her.
? Help her choose her dress wisely. Make sure she is comfortable in what she wears. Heavily embellished sarees and lehengas might not be a good option.
? Remind her to avoid gorging on too much fried and rich food as it might give her a heartburn later.
? Think of an appropriate return gift (as a token of appreciation) for the guests. Stoles, bangles, bindis or cosmetics are ideal as return gifts.
