When I got designated as my friend-group “shower planner” I had no idea how to throw a surprise baby shower, but now that I know, I could throw one every day! Throwing a surprise shower can be rather exciting as well as overwhelming at the same time. When your friend or family member is expecting their first baby everyone is really excited, but the mother to be may be feeling a lot of emotions.

How To Throw a Surprise Baby Shower

Decide on Gender Reveal If you want to make this surprise party a gender reveal, you’ll need to coordinate that with the spouse or whoever is in charge of knowing what gender the baby is. Then, from there, you can decide exactly how you’ll do the reveal, whether it’s a cake, balloons in a box or whatever you decide.

Pick the Best Date Possible

In order to throw a surprise shower, you’ll have to figure out the best date, time and location. Try to speak to the mom to be’s partner to get a good feel for when they’ll be free to attend a surprise baby shower.

Be Smart About the Location

Location is going to be key for keeping this shower a surprise event. Try to pick a location that won’t stir up many questions from the mom to be. This could be a familiar relative or friend’s home or a local restaurant that the mom to be is used to going to.
