-  A baby shower is normally thrown a month or two before the Mommy is due.  Try not to have your shower to close to her due date in case she delivers early.

  -  Make sure to finalize the guest list with the Mommy to be before sending out invitations.

  - Make sure that you greet all of your guests at the door and do introductions since a lot of people may not know each other.  Don't leave this up to the Mommy to be.

  - If the sex of the baby isn't known please try not to buy pink or blue outfits or toys.

  -  If possible the person hosting the party should live relatively close to the Mommy to be so there isn't any undue stress put on the pregnant Mommy.

  -  Have a great time!  Baby showers are fun celebration for the Mommy to be so try to refrain from stressing out once the shower has started.
