Tips To Help You Host a Party after Childbirth

In Singapore, it is common to host a party when your baby becomes a full month of age. This party is usually planned by the parents after childbirth where family and friends are invited to pass by, enjoy some refreshments and meet the newborn. It is an ideal occasion to introduce the latest family addition to all your friends and family in a single go.

The idea of hosting a party after childbirth has gained a lot of traction because not everybody loves the idea of hosting a baby shower. After all, not everybody loves being the center of attention. Moreover, how enjoyable is it to host a party with the newborn everybody’s been overly keen to meet?

How the party goes down is all dependent on you. If you don’t prefer games, then you don’t have to include them. If you love a buffet instead of a five-course menu, well you can have it.

All said and done, the purpose of hosting a party after childbirth is about meeting the newborn, which is the entertainment your visitors need. Here are a few tips to help you host a baby shower after the birth of your newborn.

Choose a theme

Party themes are quite important. Consider choosing a colour-coordinated look to complete your party. Even newborns are dazzled by glittery confetti hanged in the air.

They also love streamers and bubbles as well. Adorn the party table, typically the focal point of the room. Balloons are also lovely decorations. All these decorations are mainly for the benefit of your video and photo records as opposed to your newborn at this stage.

Whom to invite

You may feel compelled to send invitations to everybody who has played a part in your life; however, rest assured the caring delivery nurse who helped you during delivery isn’t looking forward to an invitation.

At this stage, the newborn has a small and intimate social network consisting of his or her mother and father. The chances are that the baby may be afraid of new faces or places.

Therefore, it is wise to keep the guest list rather small by sending invitations only to close friends and immediate family to the event. If you wish to include a dress code as part of your party theme, mention it in advance so that your guests can plan early enough.

What food to serve

Do not try to impress your guests by going over-the-top with your choice of food. The idea is to keep the food simple. For example, finger foods are perfect for both babies and grown-ups, since eating them will not disrupt play or interaction.

Guests might have carried a bottle or feeder cup with their preferred choice of drink for their toddlers, but have milk, water, and fruit juices on hand in case of anything. Sandwiches, breadsticks, and plain biscuits are all excellent food choices.

In all honesty, your guests will consume very little food, therefore concentrate on a selection of taste, texture, and colour as opposed to lots of rations.

Nevertheless, no event is complete without a cake. In fact, the cake offers the best photo opportunities. For those mindful about nutrition, they can choose the more healthful kinds of cakes, including carrot cakes and banana muffins.

Fun games

There is a wide variety of fun games for your party. Similar to guessing the baby’s size in a baby shower, you can play a game involving guessing the weight of the baby at the welcome party.

Don’t be surprised to see the shocked faces of your guests at how much your newborn has grown in just over a few weeks.

Camera

A camera comes in handy to capture those special first moments during the party. Hire the services of a professional photographer to capture the best shots of the day. There are quite a number of great photographers in Singapore.

Both parents shouldn’t take up the photographer’s job as they will miss out on the photos. Instead, a family friend can help out if there’s no hired assistance.

Confinement services

One of the reasons floated against hosting a party after childbirth is that the mother is often fatigued after delivery and focused on nursing the baby.

While that is true, hiring a confinement nanny can help ease the load of motherhood from mothers. The nanny can help with the household chores, bathing the child and changing the diapers while the mother can focus on sending invitations and preparing for the party.

Moreover, the nanny can also lend a helping hand in cooking food for the guests. In the end, you don’t feel strained having to balance between nursing your newborn and hosting the party. Visit a confinement centre in Singapore that offers post-natal confinement services and get one who suits your needs and budget.

Closing Words
