Planning a Baby Shower
Whether you're known as the hostess with the most or are completely new to throwing showers, turnout is the most important aspect of having a successful gift showering party. Be sure that you give plenty of notice when you send out invitations. If you don't hear back fairly soon, be sure to make some telephone calls to follow-up.

Be sure you allow plenty of time between your final RSVP date and the baby shower so there is time for last minute changes. The better accuracy you have with the headcount the more prepared you will be and the more prepared you are, the more successful the event will be. Consider using a planner, folder or spiral notebook to plan everything from the guests to the gifts to the food so you can keep everything in one spot.
