Celebrating the upcoming arrival of a baby is one of the most enjoyable occasions. Children bring friends and family together in a way that not much else can. Baby showers have morphed from a staid affair women's only affair into a glorious celebration of life where everyone is welcome.
There is a lot of planning required for a successful baby shower. Logistics, decoration, and activities can consume a lot of time and money. When planning festivities, it is important to make a budget and stick to it. While money may or may not be a concern, everyone celebrates differently, it is important to allocate an adequate amount of the budget to the areas that matter most to you.
One should spend a good portion of the budget on tangible items and those that will keep the memory of the beautiful day alive. Children love hearing about when they were itty bitty babies. When they're no longer newborns, and you pull out the photo album they will be delighted. If you have keepsakes from their baby shower even better.
