Stay at home mommy shower

The 'stay at home mommy' type of shower is perfect when the mother-to-be is taking a leave of absence from her job. Coworkers, friends or family tease the honoree by playing up the benefits of mom's new 'easy life!'

Baby shower themes:
This shower type is all about being extremely casual. Check out the nine months pregnant baby shower theme.

Baby shower invitations:
Cut out bathrobe-shaped invitations. Tell guests to arrive in their robes, pajamas and slippers

Decorations:
Create a spa-like atmosphere. Light candles. Play soft music. Incorporate aromatherapy. Remind mom how good her new life is!

Games and prizes:
Skip games and pamper yourselves. Try some homemade facial treatments. Two examples include:

  • Use a warm washcloth on the face to open pores, and after apply honey to face. Rinse off after 15 minutes.
  • Mix one egg yolk with a bit of honey and apply to face and neck. After it dries, rinse off.

The menu:
Create a smoothie bar for guests to blend up their favorite mixture of fruits:

  • Fresh fruits (strawberries, kiwi, melon, oranges, blueberries etc.)
  • Tofu
  • Sorbet
  • Yogurt
  • Sweetners
  • Flax seed, wheat germ
After that boost of healthy fruits, don't forget to balance it off with some female favorites like pizza, ice cream and chocolate!

Party favors:
Any pampering or household item will work well. Try gift soaps, sponges or air freshners.

YeahBaby.com thoughts:
If throwing a shower for a coworker, this 'stay at home mommy' type of shower is much preferred to the standard office baby shower. Well, if having fun is important to your guests!
