Baby Shower Planning Checklist
What you need to do for a cloud-free shower.
- Determine who hosts. Will it be you alone or will you share duties with a cohost?
- Set a budget. Are you paying for it all, or are others contributing?
- Decide where to have the party. A restaurant or catering hall? Your home, or that of a friend or family member? If you need an outside venue, scout around and book it early.
