Remember to give yourself a time-line to complete this task. Generally six to eight weeks prior to the shower you should: Decide on the date and times of the shower, Have the guest list prepared, If it is being thrown at a restaurant you should have the reservation made, or decide on the location. Have the theme picked out, Make or order incantations, and go over lists of the food and beverages that should be served This week's top selling alternative infant attire and gifts:
Four to six weeks prior to the shower you should have already sent out the incantations. Make sure that you have kept a record of all of the names, phone numbers, and addresses of the guests so that the mother can send Thank you cards to those who attend. You should finalize the menu that will be served, decide upon games if any will be played (and whether or not prizes will be awarded to the winners). With that said, you should have also purchased the prizes for the game winners, and begin shopping for the favors for your guests. Also, don’t forget the centerpiece!
One week before the shower you should call guests that have not yet RSVP’d to see if they will be attending. Clean your home (if it is being thrown at your home, prepare any dishes that will be served and can be frozen. Arrange someone to record names and gifts given to the mother to be for the thank you cards. Arrange for someone to hand the mother to be her gifts, and dispose of the wrapping paper. Remember to keep a time line of activities for the party, otherwise it could run much longer than anticipated. Purchase extra film for the cameras or charge the batteries for the digital cameras Two days before the shower, you should make sure to iron out the last minute details with the expecting mother. Decorate for the party (if you are able to) Set up tables, chairs and gift tables. Call your bakery to confirm the details of your order. One day prior to the party you should prepare the remaining food on your list (or purchase), spot clean the party area, Arrange your centerpieces, pick up enough ice, and place several trash bins in easy- access areas so that your guests don’t leave plates, and trash on the tables to clutter the party.

Purchase, or have any balloons filled, pick up the cake, and set up food and beverages on the tables.
