How to Plan a Baby Shower – by Twenty Three Layers CEO Jessica Boskoff

If you are in charge of planning the perfect baby shower for yourself, a friend or a family member, it can be very exciting. Welcoming a new baby into the world is something to celebrate. As a host, you might feel overwhelmed – especially if you aren’t sure how to plan a baby shower.

Getting help from an experienced event planner like Twenty Three Layers can take the stress away from your baby shower. Here are some tips to help you to make certain that the special day will be smooth and successful.

And make sure to check out Seraphine’s stunning selection of baby shower dresses!

 

Choose the Right Date

How to plan a baby shower - Twenty Three Layers

 

Baby showers are traditionally scheduled about six to four weeks prior to when the baby is due. If that time period won’t work, a shower may also be scheduled after the baby is born.

Make certain that you plan the date well in advance so that you have time to mail the invitations to the guests around three weeks before you will hold the event.

 

Choose the Location

Get the Look: Woven Ditsy Floral Maternity Dress

In addition to choosing the right date, you will want to make certain that you pick an ideal location for your baby shower. You are not limited to hosting your shower in your home and may even consider hosting it outdoors.

The key is to choose a place for the shower that has comfortable places to sit for all of your guests. If you are planning an intimate party, you might consider hosting it at a restaurant.

 

Choose your Theme

 

Choosing a theme for the baby shower can assist you with the planning process. Themes aid in the organization of all of the details. If you are uncertain of the baby’s gender, you can incorporate colors that are gender-neutral.

 

Learn About Dietary Restrictions

A post shared by Twenty Three Layers (@23layers) on

 

Before you plan the menu, you should make certain to ask the expectant mother if she has any restrictions on her diet.

Some pregnant women have gestational diabetes and must limit their sugar intake and other carbohydrates. Others avoid eating certain types of foods because of pregnancy-related aversions or potential health risks.

In addition to including foods that the mother will be able to enjoy, plan to have other items so that there is a variety of options for all of the guests.

 

Decorate with Care

A post shared by Twenty Three Layers (@23layers) on

 

The best decorations for a baby shower are items that the mother-to-be will be able to use for her baby. For instance, you might decorate with baby accessories and clothes and arrange diapers together in the shape of a cake.

 

Plan Simple and Fun Activities

Get the Look: Broderie Anglaise Maternity & Nursing Dress

 

Your baby shower should include a mix of time to socialize along with a couple of simple, fun activities to fill in the time.

You can ask your guests to create small books for the baby and mother by giving them blank notecards. Ask them to write something in response to a prompt such as things that the baby might like to know about his or her mom or wishes that you have for the baby. You can then insert the notecards into a photo album to give to the mother as a keepsake.

 

Expect Guests to Ask for Gift Ideas

Get the Look: Baby Blue Polka Dot Maternity Dress

 

Be prepared for the guests to contact you before the shower to ask for gift ideas. You can ask the mother what she needs and compile a list. You can also ask her for her registry information and tell the guests where she is registered.

Or else send them the link to Séraphine’s fantastic selection of baby shower gifts – they have plenty of stylish options for mom and baby.

 

Have Thank You Cards Ready

How to plan a baby shower - writing thank you notes

 

Make certain to have thank you cards ready to send to all of the guests after the shower. You might want to give the mother addressed envelopes and blank cards at the party along with the guest list. This will save her time when she writes the notes.

 

Get Help from Professional Event Planners

 

If you happen to be in New York, Twenty Three Layers is the event planning company of choice. They are able to assist you with how to plan a baby shower from the creation of the theme to the party’s execution.

When you have help, you can be assured that your hosted baby shower will be perfect and memorable, allowing you time to relax and to enjoy yourself. Their creative team of professionals can lend their expertise to creating the event that you envision.

What is Hypnobirthing? How Does it Work & Which Celebs Swear by it?

Imagine labour & birth, re-framed as a positive, empowering, even euphoric experience. Sound too good to be true?

That is the birth that hypnobirthing advocates claim is possible.

 

What is Hypnobirthing?

Get the Look: Double Layer Maternity & Nursing Top

 

Hypnobirthing is a system developed to help women through labour and birth. It involves visualisation, relaxation, massage and breathing exercises.

The aim is to identify and release the fear surrounding birth and reframe it in positive language.

For example, instead of thinking about getting through the next painful contraction, you are encouraged to focus on how each ‘surge’ or ‘wave’ brings you closer to meeting your baby.

 

Vlogger Hannah Michalak Shares her Positive Birth Story

 

Busting the Myths

The term Hypnobirthing can be misleading – there is no hypnosis involved and you will be fully conscious and aware of what is happening at all times.

The method simply provides tools and techniques that you and your birthing partner can use to remain calm and focused throughout the final stages of your pregnancy, labour & birth.

 

Can Hypnobirthing Replace Pain Relief?

A post shared by Hannah Michalak (@magsy24) on

Hannah Michalak loved our Little Black Maternity Dress

 

Every birth is different, and the only person who can decide which method of pain relief is right for you is you.

Hypnobirthing techniques can be used alone or in conjunction with other pain relieving options such as a birthing pool, gas and air or epidural. The decision is 100% yours.

Some women claim to have experienced a pain-free birth using nothing but hypnobirthing techniques, though these cases are of course the exception rather than the norm.

 

Celebrity Mums Who Hypnobirth

The Duchess of Cambridge loved our Printed Woven Maternity Dress

 

Hypnobirthing classes have grown steadily in popularity over the past decade or so, often through word of mouth from one mum to another.

Many celebrity mums have opened up about their positive experiences with hypnobirthing, including Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Giovanna Fletcher and Fearne Cotton to name but a few. It is even rumoured that The Duchess of Cambridge practices the techniques.

 

How Can I Learn Hypnobirthing?

Get the Look: Bamboo Lounge Maternity Pyjamas

 

If you are interested in finding out more, we recommend investigating what’s available in your local area. In some parts of the UK, hypnobirthing classes are offered at reduced rates or even for free on the NHS.

Many private practitioners offer classes in small groups with other couples, or as one to one sessions.

And if classes aren’t an option, there are plenty of books, DVDs and other materials available to help you go it alone.

Senator Tammy Duckworth Makes History Bringing her Baby to the Senate

Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth made history recently when she became the first US senator to bring her newborn baby onto the Senate floor.

Beautiful baby Maile Pearl was just 10 days old when she made her big Senate debut, safely wrapped up with her mother in a Baby K’tan sling.

 

A post shared by The Glow (@theglowdotcom) on

Keep your little one close, whether you’re making history or making memories at home.

Just the day before Maile’s historic trip, Senators had unanimously voted to overturn the baby-ban and allow infants onto the Senate floor. And before you ask, Maile was good as gold when the time came and slept through the whole thing!

Senator Duckworth had worked hard to change the rule, ensuring she’d be able to vote while caring for her newborn and hoping to set a positive example of family-friendly workplace policies to the nation.

 

Tammy Duckworth: Pushing Boundaries

 

As an Asian-American woman, an Iraq War Veteran, former Black Hawk helicopter pilot and double amputee working in politics, Tammy is no stranger to pushing boundaries and making history.

She was the first Asian-American woman elected to Congress in Illinois, the first disabled woman to be elected to the United States Congress and the first member of US Congress born in Thailand.

And after welcoming baby Maile in April she became the first sitting senator to give birth while in office.

 

A post shared by Baby K’tan (@babyktan) on

 

Here at Seraphine, we think Tammy is amazing. Her efforts to make her own working environment a more family-friendly place will pave the way to empowering generations of women to balance high-powered careers with family life.

Spiritual Fitness: Kundalini Yoga for Before, During & After Pregnancy

Kundalini yoga is a fantastic way to keep fit, fight stress and boost your mood.

It can help to keep you centred during early pregnancy & can even help to ease postnatal depression. Read on to find out more about this ancient practice.

 

What is Kundalini Yoga?

Originating from ancient Tibetan practices, this kind of yoga combines asana (postures), breath, meditation, mantras (chanting) and mudras (hand positions). It works directly on the nervous system and the glands to encourage positive brain chemistry.

Regular practice develops fitness, spirituality, positivity and creativity.

And don’t miss the matching maternity & nursing sports bra

 

Kundalini Yoga During Early Pregnancy

In normal circumstances, women can practice this form of yoga up until the 120th day of pregnancy (end of the 4th month). After this, it is generally recommended to switch to a specific pregnancy-centric yoga class.

 

 

How can it help combat postnatal depression?

Kundalini yoga expert Harmanjot Kaur claims that regular practice can help to rebalance the hormonal system after pregnancy, boosting oxytocin and dopamine. It also helps to bring the body back into shape and helps new mums to create stronger bonds with baby.

Kundalini practitioners believe that for the first 40 days after a baby is born, the aura of the mother and newborn remain closely intertwined. Harmanjot explains that this kind of yoga works on that magnetic pathway to increase connection and communication.

The theme of the first Royal Foundation Forum was ‘Making a Difference Together’, which perfectly sums up the mission of the organisation.

 

 

The Royal Foundation was set up by the two Princes back in 2009. It serves as the charitable vehicle through which the young royals support their various causes – from wildlife conservation to the armed forces, young people, mental health and more.

The Duchess of Cambridge joined them after her wedding in 2011, and Meghan will officially become a patron later this spring, after her marriage to Prince Harry.

 

 

This week, the Royals brought together all the organisations they work with through their foundation to set out their visions for the future.

The Duchess in particular, highlighted her on-going commitment to tackling mental health issues through every stage of life, starting in childhood.

 

 

 

This dress is a favourite of The Duchess. She also wore it back in January to launch the Heads Together initiative, Mentally Healthy Schools.

We here at Seraphine are fully behind the movement & respect the courage shown by everyone who wore black this year.

 

 

As a member of the BAFTA Council, actress, musician & author Clemency is one of the industry insiders who vote to determine the outcome of the Awards.

She is also mum to a 3-year-old son, and currently 35 weeks pregnant with her next little one.

 

 

On top of all this, Clemency has recently released a book! The Year of Wonder is a beautiful compendium of classical music, from medieval to modern day – one piece for every day of the year.

The book was inspired by her experiences with miscarriage, and the music which helped her to cope and re-discover the little everyday joys in life.

The Year of Wonder is now available to buy on Amazon.
