What timeline does a typical Baby Shower party follow? Below is one possible order of events for a baby shower. Use this as an outline for yours and mix up the order and duration of the events, or add or remove events according to your preferences and needs.
• A baby shower typically lasts about 2 hours.
• Guests arrive.
• Greet them at the door.
• Welcome Everyone there.
• Recognize the guest of honor (the Soon-to-be-Mommy), and let her make any comments that she might like to make (warn her ahead of time).
• Make introductions, or have each guest introduce themselves and how they know the expectant mother, or have the expectant mother introduce each guest, and how she knows each one.
• Serve any snacks or appetizers and beverages you have.
• Play 2-3 baby shower games. This helps the guests get to know each other and gets everyone into a "party" mood.
• Serve any main dishes and/or desserts or baby shower cake.
• Gather everyone around to watch the expectant mother open her gifts.
• Ooh and Aah.
• Chat, have fun, eat more, giggle and laugh as needed. Guests often chat awhile after gifts are opened, and then gradually they will begin to leave.
• As guests begin to leave, pass out your baby shower favors.
