How to keep a baby shower a secret from the mom-to-be

Your best friend, your sister, your aunt, or heck I guess it could even be your mom, she’s pregnant and you want to throw a secret baby shower for her but you have no idea how to keep it a secret? I have you covered. This article will give you tips on how to throw a surprise baby shower.

The number one rule when planning any kind of surprise is very important and should not be misjudged in its importance. That rule is this: BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TELL. I write this in all caps because it is that important. It is extremely difficult for some people to keep secrets, and in many cases, some secrets are just spilled by accident.

Of course, to host a secret shower, you need to tell each and every guest about the event. You can’t decide not to tell them and you can’t choose who you tell… however, you can make it very clear that it’s a surprise and that the mother-to-be has no idea it exists.

It’s also a good idea to include Dad in the plans, so he can make sure Mom is available on shower day. He can also give you information on what days and times would be good (he doesn’t have to be the dad-to-be…he can be anyone who’s close by in her life and knows her basic schedule). Provide additional information about guests. if you don’t have it. For example, his side of the family, or members of his family that he doesn’t know.

You can make paper invitations or phone calls. If you make paper invitations, reiterate that the party is a surprise and direct all questions and RSVPs to you. Be sure to include your phone number on the invitation so guests can contact you if they have any questions.

There are many ways to get mommy to be at your baby shower without knowing where you are going. You’ll need to first decide when you want the secret to spill. Will you be happy to keep it a surprise until that day, or would you rather it stay completely a surprise until she arrives? A complete surprise until she arrives is a bit more difficult to pull off, but it certainly can be done. You’ll need to come up with a good excuse or reason why she needs to go to the place where you’re hosting the party.

One tip though. Meet your guest of honor. Not all people enjoy surprises. If you shower in secret, make sure you don’t embarrass or anger the pregnant woman. Ultimately, a baby shower is for her, so make sure it makes her happy.
