If you have become a little tired of the regular baby shower and you want to throw your best friend something a little more modern, then prepare to be the hit of the neighborhood because nothing makes a party better than something no one has ever seen before. You want to welcome your best friend's child into this world with a bang and you want the baby shower gifts to be unique and top of the line. Now she will probably be a rather busy new mom so a surprise baby shower might be a little difficult to pull off. Plus she might be expecting one already anyway. So set the date and invite all her close friends and family to watch the joy about to unfold.
If you haven't been to a regular baby shower in a while, they usually go something like this. The guest of honor will arrive and everyone gathers around to see the baby. Refreshments are served and presents are opened and that's basically all that goes on. But your baby shower will be a little more involved this time. There are so many improved ways to raise a baby these days. Technology has really gone a long way in making sure that newborns are as safe and comfortable as possible. Getting the newborn a baby gift like a top-notch car seat will make the mom happy.
One fun and unique idea that you could implement is to have a wonderful seat in the middle of the room for the baby to sit in so it can be the center of attention. You can have the entire party revolve around that spot so the mother can see how much attention her baby is receiving. Letting the mother know that her baby is well received is the best gift anyone could give her. She will appreciate it more than any of the other gifts. Also, having some refreshments that the mother couldn't have for nine months like caffeine and alcohol could also make her happy. Usually mothers are extremely tired during the first year of motherhood, so getting things for her to relax during the baby shower could be your theme. Baby gifts are great and those should be a part of the shower too, but the party should really be about the mom. Getting a few extravagant things for her so she can relax the few minutes she gets every day will make her life easier.
