TIPS AND GREAT PARTY IDEAS

Proper Registration.
Be sure your invitations include information on the parent’s baby gift
registration. And don’t forget to get invitations based on the party theme.

Couples Welcome. Featuring helpful tips, ideas and activities for your party.
Today, more and more baby showers are including the men. Consider
themes for everyone, like a luau or casino night. And place more empha-
sis on food and fun, rather than gifts.

Guys Only.
The dad-to-be might appreciate a party of his own, just for the guys. Ask
guests to bring gag gifts (adult diapers, anyone?) and serve foods like
baby-back ribs.
