How to plan a baby shower
Planning a baby shower is a fun way to celebrate an expectant parent and involves a few key steps to ensure a memorable event. An article from Parents.com states that: The first step is to choose a date, ideally, the parent-to-be is around seven months pregnant, as this allows them to be comfortable while giving them enough time to prepare for the baby's arrival. Next, you should set a budget and create a guest list, as these will influence major decisions like the venue and catering.
Once the logistics are in place, you can move on to the creative aspect of the event. Choose a theme that reflects the parents' personality or the season, and plan a menu that caters to their cravings. To keep the atmosphere lively, include a variety of fun games and activities for the guests to enjoy. Finally, send out invitations about six weeks in advance and select thoughtful party favours to thank everyone for attending.

The comments section was filled with reactions from social media users who were deeply touched. Many said they needed such thoughtful friends, with some jokingly asking where they could get forms to join her squad. Some even found themselves crying while watching the heartfelt gesture, deeply moved by the emotional impact of the surprise. Others said the video made them realise that there are still good friends out there, inspiring hope and reaffirming the importance of strong bonds.
