Baby showers are becoming more popular with each passing year, and while they are a great way to get family and friends together they are fast becoming way too commercialised.  

 

While every mum-to-be is different and every host has their own idea of what they want, there are a number of things that are sure to happen or leave you confused over.

 

If you are hosting a shower, take note of the following things:

 

1. You’ll end up with more work than you thought

Thought it was just going to be an afternoon of nice food and a catch up?! Don’t forget about the games...

 

2. You’ll never have enough food

No matter how much food you buy you will never have enough. You will run out of cake and sausage rolls, but who cares!

 

3. It will cost you a fortune

No matter how small you try to keep it, food, balloons, games and drink cost money. A lot of money.

 

4. No, you don’t need to get a gift

Those hosting don’t need to get a present – there is enough to be buying without adding more to your list!

 

5. No one will offer to help

Unless you ask for help you won’t get it... Everyone wants the fun without the work.

 

 

6. It won’t look like Pinterest

Pinterest is great at giving you ideas but don't expect your party to look exactly like the one you pinned!

 

7. You do need a few games

Otherwise everyone will end up sitting around the table waiting to leave...

 

8. No one will eat the cake

Even though it cost you a small fortune...

 

9. There will be too many gifts

Traditionally baby showers were all about ‘showering’ the mum-to-be in love and baby advice. However, as it becomes more commercialised the gifts start flowing and Mum will end up with two of everything.

 

10. You are seen as greedy if you have two...

You don’t need two showers; you already have a baby so you don’t need any advice and you have enough stuff to keep you going for a few years...!
