I have done many baby showers from planning to catering. My
best piece of advice is to keep the mom-to-be involved. I do not mean she
needs to plan the shower herself by any means. Her comfort level with
foods and games. I have found that not all moms want the traditional
shower games. When picking the theme for
the event, the gender of the child is not the only factor. Think about
the parents as well and what they like. Don't forget to think about the
season/time of year.
Here are some possible themes from Martha Stewart (more detail
