Your best friend is pregnant and you can’t help but feel excited for her. A baby’s arrival is always a reason to be festive and have fun. Even so, your friend’s too busy, that she can’t even find time to celebrate this joyous event, even though you know that it means the world to her and her husband. You feel sorry for her, and you want to help her out with this.

If you want your friend to be able to celebrate her pregnancy, here’s a very practical idea: why not try to plan a surprise baby shower for her? It’ll be something she’ll cherish for the rest of her life. A surprise baby shower is a fun and enjoyable event. It will give your friend time with her closest family and friends, and she’ll also get to receive wonderful gifts for her baby.

Surprise baby showers are fun, but the problem is that you don’t know how to properly prepare one. You’re afraid everything will go wrong and the mom-to-be will have a disastrous time. If this is what you’re afraid of, don’t worry. Here are several useful tips to help you plan a fun and successful baby shower party.

• To help you with all the burdens of party planning, enlist the help of the people who are close to the mom-to-be, such as her husband or her close family members, including her mom and sisters. Since they’re always with the mom, these people can help you coordinate the shower, and provide you with information you can use.
• Assign tasks to different people, so you won’t have to do all the work. For example, have someone take care of the decorations, while another person takes care of the food. There should also be someone coordinating with the guests, and people planning the program and games.
• Set a good date for the shower. To do this, check with the mom-to-be’s schedule. It’s also a good idea to ask someone to schedule something with her during the fixed date. For example, the husband can say that they’re going on a date for that day, but he’ll be taking her to the shower instead.
• The perfect baby shower venue is also important. Try to throw the party somewhere unique, a place that the mom won’t immediately suspect. For example, a restaurant she hasn’t gone to yet, or a friend’s place can be great venues.
• Send the invitations, but don’t forget to state that the party’s a surprise. It’ll be so disappointing if you’ve got everything secretly and perfectly planned to have a blabbermouth guest call the mother to ask for details. State in the invitations that it’s a surprise party. For good measure, put your name and the phone number on the R.S.V.P., so people will call you if they have questions.
• To make it easy for guests to buy gifts for the baby, have the mom registered at a local baby store. As for the gift choices, collaborate with the father, other friends and family regarding what items to place on the list.

Surprise baby shower planning can be difficult, but remember that everything you’re doing is for someone special. The best and most appreciated surprises are those given with sincerity and love. Just think of how the mom-to-be will enjoy the party, and you’ll certainly feel that all your hard planning will is worth all the effort.
