The birth of a baby is a joyous occasion for any family and often is celebrated with a baby party. Tradition often dictates that the parents have a party where Baby is formally introduced to the assembled family and close friends. This is also the traditional time for the newborn to receive the blessings and best wishes of the family elders. Parents are congratulated and it is their perfect excuse to show off Baby. The birth of a baby is a wonderful time to celebrate and reinforce family bonds.

No matter who throws the baby party, baby themed invitations are readily available. Sets of matching invitations and thank you notes are a nice touch. Some new parents prefer baby boy or baby girl invitations and some prefer more generic, baby pet or nursery designs. Engraved invitations are very nice but add significantly to the cost. Packages of 8 invitations with envelopes sell for $2-$5 as do matching thank you notes.

For party day, balloons are always a popular decoration choice. Pink or blue balloons with baby themed images may be placed all around the party area. Helium filled balloons may be tied and weighted into bouquets and placed on tables or in highly visible party sites. Adorable foil balloons with soft coloration and baby themes are available for an average of $2 each. Foil balloons that play tunes and shaped foil balloons (such as baby rattle or stork shapes) are a bit more costly at $8-$10. A few of these more costly balloons will look very nice intermingled with the more basic inexpensive latex balloons.

For those who would like to plan and shop ahead of Baby’s birth and do not know Baby’s gender, generic baby decorations are available that are every bit as adorable as those for either boy or girl babies. Most generic decorations are designed in soft, pastel colors with images pertinent to all babies such as diaper pins, bottles or baby rattles. Pricing for generic party items are comparable to those that are boy or girl specific.

Table decorations such as centerpieces and table ware may be used to enhance the room decorations of banners and streamers. Boy or girl decoration kits are available for under $10 that include cutouts, honeycomb fold out balls and centerpieces plus paper garland to get your decorations started.

Mini diaper pins, pacifiers, rattles and safety pins, all in blue or pink pastel colors are very popular selections for party favors. Other popular favors are “it’s a boy” or “it’s a girl” pencils and candy filled baby bottles.

Parties for new babies have endless possibilities for decoration. The large amount of baby party supplies is an indicator of how we value a new addition to the family. A family gathering is a wonderful way to bless new life. Having a baby party is a great family tradition and a great way to introduce Baby to his loving extended family.

Welcome the newest member with a family gathering. Your family and friends will be happy for the opportunity to wish your newborn well and to congratulate you. A baby party is the perfect introduction for baby to his loving extended family.
