Mother Jones Has A Baby Shower

Caregiver Lady and her caregiver friends sponsored the baby shower of Toklang recently.

Celebrating the upcoming arrival of her new baby is exciting but at the same time, it's often a situation in which both Mother Jones and Casino Boy can feel much anxiety. Knowing that she is a third-time parent makes her worry less. By now she already knows that so many different items are needed to provide proper infant care.

The idea of the baby shower came to her as she requested Caregiver Lady to host this party for her. It surely helps relieve the financial burden on these parents-to-be by supplying them with many of the new gadgets, furnishings and accessories they'll need once their baby arrives.

They had a non-traditional baby shower, as you can see Casino Boy in the background, with men around. Probably one of the biggest changes to the baby shower format is that they're no longer exclusively for women. Plenty of men make it onto today's baby shower guest list and those who are invited don't come grudgingly. While they might not play in all the baby shower games, men do enjoy the opportunity to give their regards to the expectant mother- and father-to-be.

In some parts of the world the baby shower is actually held after the baby is born. This makes sense since a baby shower is a celebration of the baby and guests enjoy actually seeing the one who is being celebrated. It's also easier to select gender-appropriate colors and gifts and should the gift need engraving, guests have all the delivery details they need.

Having the baby shower after the baby's birth does make sense, but it's a very busy time for new parents. Plus, many of the baby items the expectant parent(s) need are needed as soon as the baby arrives home. That's why scheduling the baby shower before the baby's birth is the more common option.

The baby shower itself is traditional and for the most part, every shower involves the same activities. Guest lists and invitations need to be created and mailed. The shower location needs to be decorated. Guests expect to be entertained so food, drink and games need to be coordinated. And because it's a special occasion, there might even be a photographer and/or videographer, musician and other special talent participating in the festivities.

Special thanks to Caregiver Lady for the effort that helped pull off a successful special event like Mother Jone's baby shower. It is was a well-thought out plan that includes a timeline and a budget.
