When organizing a baby shower party, there are several things that you need to decide: the date, the place, the guests, the menu and the decorations. Also, you need to choose the time of day that is suitable for the guests and for the mom-to-be. Most of these events take place in the afternoon (14:00 to 17:00) or at night (17:00 to 18:00 to 21:00 to 22:00). Hosting late-night baby showers is very unusual, but baby shower luncheons are trending lately. However, most baby showers are held in the afternoon or at night.
There are pros and cons to both afternoon and evening parties. Before you print the invitations, be sure to check the time with the mom-to-be and important guests (close friends and family of the mom-to-be). Also, it is better to choose a weekend day for the party, since during the week everyone works and they may not have time to come to the party.
Afternoon party is a great idea, because pregnant women get tired pretty quickly and may want to be in bed by 9 or 10 pm Afternoon baby showers are the right choice if you plan to invite families with children to attend the party. Another great thing about afternoon parties is that they provide the pretext for special themes, such as afternoon tea. You can throw a really special afternoon baby shower, with tasty sandwiches, cookies and cakes, strawberries and whipped cream, and delicious teas. If you plan to have the party start around 2 or 3 p.m. . On the other hand, most people are busy during the evenings, even weekend evenings, and for some of the guests getting to the party can be a challenge.
Afternoon baby showers start around 5 or 6 PM and since the party will last at least three or four hours, the party will end around 9 or 10 PM. It’s not that late, and if the mom-to-be isn’t too close to the deadline, like a couple of weeks, she’ll be able to attend the party with no problem. A great advantage is that people are usually free at night, so your guest will arrive at the party without any problem. If you’re hosting a nighttime baby shower, you can choose any day of the week, not just weekends. Since it’s late at night and people eat dinner at that time of day, you might consider serving not just snacks, but something more akin to a meal. You don’t have to prepare a formal dinner; after all, it is an intimate party, with friends and family. A buffet with two types of meats, some side dishes and salads will do.
Remember, your most important goal is to keep the mom-to-be comfortable and happy. So, check with her to find out when she prefers the baby shower to be held.
