Celebrating the Birth of your Child: Hosting a Welcome Home Party

The birth of a child is truly a joyous occasion and, for this reason, you should celebrate as much as possible. “Welcome Home Baby” parties are now becoming highly fashionable as proud parents, excited family members and slightly broody friends assemble to congratulate all involved and see the newborn child. Welcome home baby parties are also ideal if your child decided it wanted to arrive before the baby shower and, by throwing a party like this, you can ensure that everyone gets chance to see the new addition. Here are some hints and tips on hosting your own welcome home baby party:

Creating the Perfect Invites

Invites to the event can be as simple or as extravagant as you like. If you’re a little short on cash then you can either ring people or create a Facebook event. But, if you really want to make your welcome home party an event then you should consider some more formal invites. Sites such as www.littleoneprints.co.uk offer a wide variety of personalised invitations. This provides you with the ideal opportunity to add a picture of your child, giving your guests a sneak peek of what they will see at the event.

Getting the Décor Right

If you host your party a week or so after your child enters the world then you’ll undoubtedly have taken numerous photos in that time. Make these the centrepiece of your decorations and ensure that the room you host the party in accurately reflects your child’s life so far. This way, instead of your child being crowded, people can spend time looking at the photos. These photos will be the first time that many of your guests see your child and they’ll also serve as a perfect reminder to the parents of just how lucky they are.

Games and Ideas

There are literally hundreds of great games and ideas for your party. Much like you guess the baby’s size during a baby shower, you could play guess the baby’s weight at the welcome home party. Many of your guests will be shocked at how much it has grown in just a week or two. In addition, you could have baby themed food and drink or, you could be much more relaxed and just treat it as a gathering. It is completely up to you and the world is your oyster.
