Many moms go through many changes during pregnancy. Once the baby has arrived, they are going to go through even more changes. However, there are a variety of ways that you can celebrate a new baby coming, and that is having a surprise baby shower. This is an exciting party that you can throw for the new mom where you eat tasty food, play games, enjoy good company, and bring mom gifts to help out with her nursery decoration.

Having a surprise baby shower is a great option for a brand new mom who hasn't had her baby yet. It can be tough to buy everything needed for the nursery décor, and the shower allows others to help her out a bit and it definitely is a great surprise. Not sure where to begin when hosting this type of a party? Here are a few great tips and ideas to help you host the most amazing baby shower for the new mother.

Pick a Date. The first thing you need to do for the baby shower is to plan a good date. Since it is a surprise, you'll have to find out from her husband or a family member whether or not the date you are thinking about is a good one for her. You'll also need to arrange it so she'll be prepared to go out but she'll have no idea about the party. Check with all the people you want to invite too to make sure that you pick a date that works well for everyone. Choose a good time for everyone as well.

The Invitations. The invitations are going to be important. They should be given out about 2-3 weeks before you plan on having the shower. Just make sure that those you give the invitations to keep them well hidden from the new mom. When you are picking out the perfect invitations, consider something that goes with the baby theme, such as invitations that include pictures of nursery décor, or other baby items on them.

A Baby Gift Registry. Many mothers will have a gift registry at various stores or even online. This is a great way that they can pick out the nursery decoration that they want and others will be able to figure out what kind of gifts she wants. If the ideas are expensive, several people can go together to purchase one gift. Check with those that know the new mom well to find out where she is registered. This way you can pass on this information to the reset of the people that are coming to the surprise baby shower.

Great Decorations and Favors. Of course you are going to want to have some beautiful decorations and favors for the big party. Go with decorations with a theme. If you know the mom is having a girl, go with decorations that reflect this. The same applies if she is having a boy. Another way to choose a theme for your decorations is to find out what kind of nursery décor she is using. If she is going with Disney Characters in the baby's nursery, consider using this for a theme for your decorations. You'll also want to purchase favors for all the guests. This is to thank them for taking the time to attend the surprise baby shower. While you probably can't afford a lot on the favors, make sure that they are beautiful and useful.

Keep the Guests Hidden. When you are throwing the surprise baby shower, make sure that you keep the guests hidden away. Have them all park somewhere else so that the mom isn't suspicious about what is going on. When she walks in the door gently surprise her, just don't go too crazy. You don't want to be the ones that end up inducing labor.

Having a surprise baby shower is a wonderful way to help out a new mom and surprise her. No doubt she'll be thrilled with the party, the friends, and the nursery decoration gifts that she receives.
