The best time to have a baby shower is around the end of the second trimester. This way, mommy-to-be has a sweet baby bump going but there won’t be any concern about her going into labor at the party!
The second trimester is also good so as not to tire mommy out too much. Late pregnancy can be exhausting, so just something you might want to consider.
Send the baby shower invitations about 3-4 weeks before the party and send them regular snail-mail. Don’t run the risk of email invitations being caught in spam folders or missed by those who don’t check their email regularly.
Make sure mommy is registered for her gifts by the time of the party, so you can share the gift list.
Some baby showers are gender reveal parties. Those can be lots of fun! If mommy wants to reveal her little cupcake's gender, a cupcake baby shower is a real treat. By the end of the second trimester you’ll know the gender of the baby and can individualize the baby gift list, too.
Carry the cupcake baby shower theme throughout the party, too. Postage stamps for the invitations would be so cute! Baby shower cupcakes are some of the cutest cupcakes out there.
