What is Baby Shower and How To Plan Perfect Baby Showers

Johnson’s Baby Shower @ Intercon Hotel, Makati

Baby Shower is a way to celebrate the coming of a new baby. The term shower means showering the mother to be with gifts that will be essential to the baby. By traditions, baby shower are given to first time moms and usually only moms will attend. In old age, shower means, showering the expectant mom knowledge and wisdom about motherhood. Nowadays, baby shower are also attended by dads and even kids. And it is now common that a mom can have as much baby shower as her friends can organize.

The guidelines on how to plan a perfect Baby showers were not established but there are traditional activities that are done during the occasion. For one, baby showers were planned not by the expectant mother. The shower is given by someone else like friends, maid of honor or bridesmaid or coworkers. There are games and the main theme of the event is of course, gift giving. The exact time or place to held a baby shower can vary. In some cases, it is held months prior to giving birth and in some weeks before the due date. In rare cases, there are those that gives baby shower days or weeks after the baby is born. Usually, it is held in a hotel room, small bar or a cozy restaurant. And since most shower are kinda surprise party to the expectant mom, it is advised not to held the party on the her house. The party host also include baby shower giveaways for the guests.

When you are to plan a baby shower, you might want to consider the activities you will include. Below are some game ideas for baby shower that can make your activity fun and of course, memorable for the expectant mom.

Guess the due date game. This is a fun guessing game where guests will have to guess the expected date of delivery.
The baby game. This is a fun game where guests that are not moms yet can participate. Dads can have a chance on this game too! This is a game where participants will have to change the diaper of the baby (of course use a doll) and who does it fastest wins.
Guess the baby’s gender can be fun too if the party is not gender theme related.

As for the giveaways, the party planner can opt for things that can be useful for their guests. If they have more mommy guests, a small toy that the kids will love will do or even a small figurine that says thank you is enough.

Johnson’s and Johnson’s recognize the joy of celebrating motherhood and all the firsts. They know that nothing compares to baby’s most precious firsts. And with that, Johnson’s and Johnson’s launched the Johnson’s Baby Shower.

Mommy’s Day Out

October 11, Linden Suites. Mommies experienced a day out that is all about themselves. Treated with a hefty lunch. Welcomed by Unilab Corporate Affairs, Jack Orendain and a series of lecture that surely changed the lives of the moms.

The event was hosted by Aileen Dalisay. Moms were reminded on how to take care of themselves. All will agree that in order for a mom to function well, she must be well herself. And for all the mommies out there, here are the mantras that Personal Care speaker Marie Calica shared (repeat this to yourself everyday or every chance you get).

I love my _______ (part of your body)
I promise to scrub a dub.
I will slap on the face cream.
I won’t forget my eyes or my neck.
Water is my best friend.
I will say “si” to E.
I am sleeping beauty.
I will use protection.
I keep myself fresh and clean.
Beauty is easily available to me.

A make up lesson followed. Make up artist Anjie Gogna briefed moms on how to achieve everyday look make up and showed how it is done:

See the transformation of her model, Donna. Anjie used products from the Myra collection:

While their minds are enriched with useful information on how to be pretty, their stomachs were treated with a pancake:

The event was sealed with the moms having a spa. One for their crowning glory an d the other part of the body who always took the blame, the feet.

And of course, I won’t miss the chance to take a photo opps with the very beautiful make up artist, Anjie Gogna.
