Baby Shower Planning For A Baby Safety Shower
The concept of Baby Safety Shower is developed by the U.S. Consumer Safety Commission (CPSC)and Gerber Products Company. This type of baby shower is being held by organizations across the country for new parents and parents-to-be.
Not like most of the theme based baby shower planning, you won't find many of those traditional gifts for the parents-to-be and edible goodies.
A larger baby safety showers encourage parents visit a variety of home safety workshops where volunteers illustrate important safety information with games, prizes, and other activities.
If you're not a party animal and only enjoy staying with a small group of people, a few home safety games work perfectly for you.
However, safety baby shower planning is more like a event hosted by local community or organization than a small pregnancy affair threw by a group of friends and family members. And the success of your baby shower planning depends on the popularity of your shower guests.
You must decide which group you want to reach with safety information. The shower guests can include: teen mothers, parents-to-be, low-income parents, low-literacy parents, or even non-English speaking parents. Just unleash your creativity!
My suggestion is to work with organizations and groups that serve the people you have targeted. They canhelp you decide whom to invite and plan an appropriate program. They also can help you determine how many shower guests to invite. For example, you can hold a shower for 20 people in someone’s living room or for 200 in your local high school gymnasium.
Here is the typical baby shower planning timetable for a complete baby safety shower:
| 16-18 weeks ahead: * Recruit baby safety shower partners * Form a planning committee * Select tentative shower dates * Decide whom to invite * Select site and confirm exact date | 14-16 weeks ahead: * Choose shower theme, programs, activities, and workshops * Recruit volunteers * Recruit local businesses and organizations to underwrite expenses or donate showergoods, exhibits, and services * Estimate costs * Develop master “to-do” list * Invite VIPs | 12-14 weeks ahead: * Develop activity, game workshop, and program materials * Plan refreshments * Plan site logistics with building management * List needed equipment and supplies |

Baby Safety Shower Games For Baby Shower Planning
Don't forget having the shower guests educated by baby shower games below focus on the theme of keeping your baby safety at home - and they’re perfect for any Baby Shower!
How Many Baby Safety Do You Remember?
Start by creating a gift basket for the new parents full of safety items like:
* cabinet locks
* outlet covers
* corner and edge bumpers
* refrigerator locks
* toilet locks
* door knob covers
* floating yellow duck bathtub thermometer
* door stops and door holders
Now, set the gift basket out as a table centerpiece with the safety items unwrapped. During the baby shower it can be passed around for guests to look at, then moved out of sight for a fun game of Memory.
In the baby shower planning, design the game like this: Give each guest 3 minutes to write down as many items as they can remember – all the while the basket is hidden out of sight. The most correct answers wins the game and the basket can be returned to its centerpiece display - then sent home with the new parents at the end of the shower.

Gift Ideas For Baby Shower Planning
Since the invited guests are potential customers for supermarkets, drug stores, baby stores and specialty shops, why not ask them for contributions of gifts and prizes?
Give shower guests any item related to baby safety, such as cabinet locks or electric socket plugs. Also include products every parent can use: baby bath items, disposable diapers, baby food, toys, and baby clothing. Moms also may welcome special treats for themselves — like a makeover or gift certificates from local stores.
The idea of giving group gift is always welcome in any baby shower planning. For example, you can put together a spectacular money tree in your baby safety shower.
Here is how to do: Prepare a shoebox and place a miniature baseball on one side of it, and a miniature baseball bat on the other side. And cover the shoebox with lots of little blue and pink triangles folded like tiny diapers, each fastened with a small brass baby safety pin. Then have each little diaper tucked with currency inside, ranging from $1 to a $50 bill. Or even place a blue or pink piggy bank inside, filled with coins!
