More that one baby shower hostess?

Even if you only have a few people on your guest list, hosting a baby shower can end up being pretty pricy. Depending on what you choose for party favors, food, centerpieces, etc., you could end up spending more than you bargained for.

So what’s the solution?

Split the hostess duties with someone else.

Any one of these people can help you plan:

  • Best friend

  • Sister

  • Cousin

  • Mom

  • Mother-in-law

  • Grandmother

  • Aunt

  • Niece

  • Anyone else close to the guest of honor



By doing this, you can split the cost of everything in half. And you can split the responsibilities. Let the other hostess be in charge of decorations and favors, and you can handle the food and centerpieces.

Having more than one hostess is especially beneficial if you’re throwing a last minute celebration. Let’s say you only have a couple of weeks to prepare – ask one or even 2 other people to help you plan, and you’ll have more than enough time to get everything done.

Best baby shower themes for the Spring

Whether the mom-to-be is having a boy, girl, or twins, these themes are great for a baby shower in the Spring.

Easter – This theme will enhance pretty pastel colors that will suit a boy or girl. Encourage your guests to wear spring-like colors, and fill the room with lots of springtime décor. Use plush bunnies for centerpieces, and give your guests small Easter baskets as party favors.

St. Patrick’s Day – Use a light green and gold color scheme for this theme idea. Use leprechaun plush toys, clover shaped stickers, and green and gold beads as the decorations. Use "pots of gold" as your guest table centerpieces. Just fill a glass bowl with chocolates wrapped in gold foil. For a nice touch, hide a small prize in each bowl.

April Showers and May Flowers – Use colorful floral bouquets for your centerpieces, and accent the room with little umbrellas. Use a variety of flowers at each table. You can even give away tulips or tulip seeds as party favors.

Little Sunshine – Everyone looks forward to sun-shiny weather in the Spring. So why not get your guests geared up with a sunny baby shower? Decorate your room with lots of yellow, white and soft blue, which will give it a “sunny sky” feel. Send out yellow invites and thank you cards, and give your guests lemon drops or lemon cookies to munch on during the celebration. And don't forget the lemonade. As a party favor, bake sugar cookies and draw a sun on them with yellow icing. Wrap the cookies in clear plastic and tie it with a white or yellow ribbon.

Any theme you choose will be just fine any time of the year. But these themes listed above are perfect for getting everyone ready for spring. Even if you live in an area that’s still snowy in March and April, these baby shower theme ideas will make everyone feel warm and colorful inside.

Happy Planning!
