A baby shower is an exciting time for expecting mothers. It is the perfect excuse for friends, family, co-workers, and good acquaintances to all get together under one roof. Baby showers are a celebration for the life that is soon to be greeted in to the world. The most important thing about a baby shower is creating a positive environment for everyone attending the party.
Good Food Equals Good Times
Food is an important part of any party. Baby showers are a great place to serve your favorite appetizers and finger foods to allow guests to snack on delicious foods at their leisure. A good rule of thumb is to include a little bit of everything in the food options provided for guests. Try opting for salty and savory just as much as you cater to those who have a sweet tooth. It works every time! When you make sure that you’re providing enough healthy snacks for both types of guests, those watching their waistline will thank you later. If actual meals are going to be served at one’s baby shower, then investing in quality catering is highly suggested. Plan to your meal options based on your guests dietary needs. Sometime that will mean vegetarian, vegan or even gluten free options. What does a good food spread deserve? To be displayed well, funny how food tastes better when it looks nice. An eye catching floral arrangement and other props can make any buffet set-up even more stunning and make guests feel welcomed. Simple Joy Designs offers gorgeous floral arrangements that can compliment every type of dining and lounge area.
Other than delicious food for guests to enjoy, there are plenty of other things to take into equal consideration when planning a baby shower. Is there a distinct theme to the shower?

Simple Joy Designs helps in taking the weight off the hostess and in to the hands of an expert party planner who knows the Fredericksburg, VA region well. Hiring a party planner allows someone else to serve as the middle man and cuts down a whole lot of the thinking process for the hostess. I know that when someone needs a tooth pulled, they go to dentist. The same applies to when someone needs a major event to be taken care of. There’s no harm in leaving things up to a creative professional when you’re short handed and seeking an out-of-the box approach.
