Great News. I just found out I’m going to be a Grandma for the fourth time. We have three boys already, so everyone is kind of leaning towards a girl.
I’m already thinking about the baby shower. It seems today that a lot of the baby showers are for couples. I’m not sure if the new mom will want a traditional, all ladies shower, or an updated couples shower. Either way, we will have fun.
I think I will wait to see what the gender is before I decide on a theme. I make a quilt for each grandchild. The theme of the quilt isn’t necessarily the theme of the shower, but it could be. I had a different theme for each grandson’s shower. The first was elephants, then trains, and the last one was robots. Just don’t get your heart set on a theme, have some alternatives in mind. I really had a hard time with the elephants. All of the elephant decorations I found were for “pink elephants”. You know the kind that look all tipsy. I was just about to give up and go with one of my alternate ideas of either sailboats or robots when I finally found some cute, sober elephant decorations. If this next one is a girl I could go with dolls, ballet, dollhouses, fairies, or unicorns. Those should be easy to find. Of course, just having a color theme of pink or blue is an easy way to go.
Speaking of ease, don’t stress over every little aspect of the shower. I know there are hundreds of options out there, but you should not agonize over every decision. No one, especially the mom-to-be, wants to cause you any stress over the planning. Just remember, a baby shower is for fun and it should be fun to plan it.
