Welcome to our baby shower event planner where we will provide you with the ideas you need for everything from invitations and favours to cake, decorations and games for that perfect fun baby shower.

The history of baby showers goes back many years and is traditionally a time when friends and family bring gifts to help the proud new mother and, although this was not originally the time for a party, today a baby shower provides an opportunity to truly celebrate the value of the family.

Originally the baby shower was held when a newborn reached about one month of age and was often timed to coincide with a baby's christening. However, over the years tradition has changed not only in terms of the format for a shower, but also in terms of its timing and today it is common to hold baby showers to celebrate the imminent arrival of the child.

Another important change we see today, which in part reflects changes in the modern family unit, is that baby showers are no longer the preserve of women but are also often attended by men.

Your baby shower is a significant event in your life and one which should be memorable for both you and your friends and family. For this reason, it is important to start your planning early and that means thinking about such things as your invitations and the favors which your guests will take away as a memento of the day.
