subject: Considerations When Selecting a Location for a Baby Shower [print this page] Your sister is pregnant for the first time and you get so excited by the news, you decide to host a baby shower for her. Understandably she is very excited at the idea of being a new mom, but in discussing motherhood with her, you discovered that she does not know of some of the most basic of items she will need when caring for her newborn. As a result, you realize that the baby shower will help her acquire some of the basic items that she will need and there uses. But, before you can send out the baby shower invitations, you have to decide where to hold the shower.
When considering where to host the baby shower there are a number of factors to take into account when selecting where you will hold the event. The first is where would you like to have it? Your home? The mom-to-be's home? These are the two most common places showers are held. You'll will need to look at the proposed guest list and see if one location suits better then the other. Understand that location is key. You want to make sure that the guests do not have to travel too far and even more importantly that the mom-to-be does not have to go to far out of her way for her own party.
Once you have settled on the location your next task will be being able to account for all the guests. Expect that anyone that receives a baby shower invitation will show and thus be accounted for the purposes of parking, food, drink and seating. Most baby showers are personally engaging events that require lots of mingling space so be sure there is room for all that you invite at your chosen location.
For whatever reason the traditional location does not accomodate the needs of your baby shower then you must condsider local alternatives such as banquet halls or a conference room at a local hotel. Another more popular alternative to a home is at the mother-to-be's favorite restuarant. All the options offer in house services such as food, drink, space, parking and even clean-up that come at a premium charge but it's ideal to explore all opportunities when considering a location to host your baby shower.
