Throwing a surprise baby shower for the mother-to-be doesn't have to be complicated. As a matter of fact, it can be fun for everyone. It just takes a little patience, a few basic steps, and the help of friends and family.

 

A surprise shower will involve some secrets, so remember to be quiet and not give it away. But you will have to make sure that the mother-to-be will be up for a surprise. Early on in her pregnancy, try to determine if she's up for a surprise baby shower or if she would rather be involved in the planning. This could keep mother-to-be from being surprised when she's not feeling up to it. (If mother-to-be knows she has a surprise baby shower coming up, she will be more likely dressed appropriately when the time comes.)

 

Once you know whether the baby shower will be a surprise or not, make sure that mother-to-be has registered for baby gifts or items. Even if you have a non-surprise baby shower, it isn't appropriate to ask the mother-to-be what she needs or wants for the baby. Let her gift registration do the talking so baby shower guests will feel absolutely free to choose and purchase gifts by using his or her own individual ideas or preferences.

 

You'll need to have the assistance of those closest to mother-to-be, especially the dad-to-be. He will be able to help resolve a date and time for the surprise baby shower. As well as help to get her there by using the least amount of suspicion. He can also make certain she doesn't head out dressed inappropriately.

 

Perhaps thinking she is just coming over for coffee or to visit! Family will need to help by getting together the baby shower guest list. Since you won't be capable of asking mother-to-be directly. You'll have to rely on her mother or mother-in-law and maybe a sister to get this information. Be careful when sending out the surprise baby shower invitations. Make sure to mention that this is a surprise baby shower! You wouldn't want someone accidentally letting the cat out of the bag!

 

You can play baby shower games by using surprise topics. Attempt playing the "diaper surprise" game by passing out diapers to all of the guests. By placing one of them with a "mess" inside by using chocolate or bean dip, or use your imagination. The one who receives the messy diaper wins a prize.

 

Or if you know that mother-to-be is expecting a boy, you are could play "pin the diaper on baby". Merely before your blind-folded guest of honor goes to spot the diaper on the baby. Squirt her with a water pistol to simulate the "surprise" generally affiliated with changing a baby boy's diaper!

 

Occasionally, no matter how hard you labor to keep the baby shower a surprise. Your mother-to-be may find out about it. Don't be bothered by this, though. There can always be some elements of surprise for her. Whether she's expecting the baby shower or not. It might be unexpected guests, pricey favors, or an exotic cake. There will be something there that she didn't count on!
