Hostess Munchies

Are you planning a baby shower for long-distance loved one or close friend who has moved? If yes, read on ... because these words were written especially for you!

baby showers long distance are increasingly popular and a lot more fun and easier to assemble. Not too long ago, a donation box shipped around the country was considered the typical long distance shower. At the reception, MOM would be opening the box, filled with small boxes and cards and call it a celebration. Not that this gesture was not appreciated, it just was not much of a celebration.

With the help of the Internet, planning a fun baby shower long distance is easier than you think. Most arrangements can be made in the comfort of your home on the Internet and the event can be much more in a single box of baby gifts.

If the guest of honor is the only participant who now lives in the area, you can plan a traditional shower and videotapes of the event. This way, friends and family and to meet and enjoy the day, while celebrating the occasion. You can download the video on YouTube and each guest can register a lasting memory for the new mom filled with wishes, advice and all they want to say. You can send invitations, play games, serve food, ect ... as you would if mom was there.

You might even decide to ask customers to bring their gifts unwrapped. This way, you can add gift wrapping in the shower, in the context of the presentation.

Because mom is not there, you may want to include the following in the festivities. Or ask each guest to tell a funny story about her or how they have met ... or both.

When it comes time to ship the package, there are several things you want to include, in addition to donations. (Keep in mind this is not an exhaustive list. Feel free to add other items to the box, if they add to the fun.)

Items to be added may include: an invitation, confetti, balloons filled with helium (if you have a very big box), recipes for all the munchies that were used in the shower (or a small hollow them real themselves if they ship well). And of course, last but not least, the videotape or DVD of the same shower.

As the hostess of the shower you could suggest to customers that small gifts and / or gift cards are much easier to carry. The majority of them will probably agree and decide to opt for something other than a car seat or crib.

You can also gave everyone the option of ordering gifts online and shipping themselves. Although this type of shipping is probably the best for people who live outside the city.

By following these simple tips will make it much easier when you plan a baby shower long distance. With a little planning, they can be just as enjoyable as a traditional shower.
