It sounds fun to throw your own baby shower, but if youโ€™re still not quite sure, here are all the reasons why itโ€™s a great idea.

Dated Rules Shouldnโ€™t Apply

The etiquette of today is a far cry from the rules and social norms of a few years ago. While it has long been conventional that the job of hosting a baby shower falls to the family or friends of the mother to be – things are different now. Hosting your own party makes a lot of sense! There are tons of reasons why, and etiquette rules from years ago shouldnโ€™t determine what you do now.

You Can Pick What Matters to You

One of the very best parts of hosting your own event is picking what matters most to you. You can decide on a virtual event, an in-person party, or a hybrid combination. If you want a specific venue – go for it. If the gorgeous invitations and beautiful decor take 90% of your budget, no problem – youโ€™re in charge!.

You could also host multiple baby showers for different groups of guests, if you wish. Hosting a very large party can quickly become exhausting, so sometimes, splitting it up into shorter, smaller parties is best. But if you decide to throw one party for everyone, itโ€™s still simple to do.

There are many times when hosting a virtual baby shower can make more sense than hosting an in-person event. Some people may live far away, or maybe you arenโ€™t comfortable hosting a large gathering with Covid 19 restrictions still in effect in some places. Whatever your reasons, hosting an online party is easy and fun!
