4 Tips for Hosting a Baby Shower During COVID-19

Friends and family of any expecting mother should be able to join together in a celebration to welcome new life with precautions taken. While it may be difficult for some people to join in on the party, anyone who is comfortable should attend the baby shower for expecting mothers.

Many expecting mothers may not want to have a baby shower because they do not want to make people feel obligated to come. No matter what a mother says, they want to have a baby shower. All expecting moms want to have people join in on their celebration, and of course, receive gifts for their little one. There are plenty of ways to make everyone feel safe and be safe.

Whether a person can attend a party or not, they should still send a small present for the new baby who will be a part of their life in the future. A pack of diapers, wipes, bottles, or books always make great presents.

Expecting mothers may think they have what they need, but no matter how much they plan, they will always need more diapers and wipes than they could ever imagine! With COVID-19 still a risk, mothers must get everything they need so they do not have to take their little one out in public after the birth. Friends and family should be able to help a mother prepare by hosting a baby shower and showering them with gifts.

Here are four tips for hosting a baby shower during a pandemic.

Offer a Live Streaming

Baby shower hosts should offer guests the opportunity to join in through a live streaming event. This can allow those who are older, live far away, or simply feel uncomfortable in public the opportunity to attend the party. This will make the mother excited to have everyone around, even if they are not physically there.

Give Out Mask Favors

One fun way to make guests feel appreciated when they are at the party is to give out mask favors. Whether people want to wear them when they are there or want to take them home, it is still a reminder of the “changing of the times”. Decorating the outside of the masks with funny sayings and pictures that will help remind guests of the fun they had at the baby shower.

Have More Areas For Food and Drink

To help prevent everyone from gathering together around the food and drink areas, the host should spread out the items to help reduce gatherings. Hosts can place food and drinks on each table around the event. People can then get food and drinks off of the tables where they are sitting to help prevent people from getting too close. Grab-n-go items are highly recommended as sharing serving utensils is a large risk to spread germs.

Hand Sanitizer Presents

No baby shower is complete without games. Baby shower hosts should have plenty of games ready. Party guests can still play traditional baby shower games, and if hosts are looking for the ideal presents for guests, they should use hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes with handmade labels. This clever gift idea is sure to impress every guest and give them something they can use during the pandemic.

These tips can help hosts plan and host the best coronavirus baby shower of all. They can help guests and the mother to feel a little safer. Not only will it get everyone out of the house and having a good time, but it will also help the expectant mother get the things that she needs before her bundle of joy arrives. Whether she is asking for one or not, she will be incredibly thrilled that she is having a baby shower.
