Best Bets for Baby Shower Venues
Everyone enjoys a great baby shower. The mother-to-be is “showered” with gifts as well as love and affection, and everyone’s anticipation for the new arrival grows. But often times, the toughest part of the shower is the very beginning – figuring out where it will be hosted, and by whom. Here are some pros and cons of three popular locales:
The home of a family member- It’s a rite of passage for a mother to host her daughter’s baby shower. One sister-in-law hosting a shower for the other is a great bonding opportunity as well. Of course, it is stressful to prepare a house for dozens of guests, so things may get a little tense.
The home of a friend – Every mother-to-be has that friend – the one who is great at organizing, loves to host and is told by everyone how she should be a party or wedding planner. She’ll lessen the stress for everyone involved. Unless, of course, someone in the mother-to-be’s family wants to host and this ends up causing more stress than it relieves.
A restaurant - In this scenario, no one in the party has to worry about hosting and everyone can relax and have a good time. This could get a bit pricy, and the party will likely have to fit into a two- or four-hour window, which adds a little unnecessary urgency to the festivities. But getting waited on or offering guests a sumptuous buffet from which they can pick and choose is always a wonderful way to focus more on family and friends and less on all that’s involved in pulling off a successful party.
