Creative Ideas for a Baby Shower

If you are holding a baby shower for a friend or family member

, you want the event to be special. Such a joyous occasion deserves to be as unique as the mother-to-be. One way to make the baby shower memorable is to hold it outdoors. You can be certain that most of your guests have probably never attended an outdoor baby shower. In today's busy and stress filled world, many people spend very little time outdoors in any sort of activity, so you could be providing them with an opportunity to de-stress while enjoying the fresh air in the great outdoors.

The most convenient way to hold a baby shower outside is in your own backyard. Of course, to do this you have to have a yard that can accommodate the number of people who will be attending, as well as enough outdoor furniture for everyone. If you don't have such a yard, another option is to use a local public park. In many cities there are picnic areas available for reservation for private functions. Many of these picnic areas have minimal kitchen-type facilities with running water, along with tables and seating. Most city parks also have restroom facilities, which can be essential when a pregnant woman is part of your party!

While most people don't necessarily associate healthy eating with a picnic, nothing says that you can't have a menu that focuses on healthy eating and good nutrition. You can be fairly certain that the mother-to-be is much more careful about what she is eating now that she is pregnant, and you don't want to do anything to sabotage her efforts. By going with a healthy menu you might even make an impact on the eating habits of some of your guests.

One way to get your guests engaged in this plan for a healthy outdoor baby shower is to include the details on the baby shower invitation. You could select an invitation style that matches your theme. You might even consider inviting each guest to be a part of the healthy menu by making the event a potluck. If you decide to go this route, it is important to include all the details on the baby shower invitations when you send them out to your guests.
