Below are some simple and sweet little gestures to make the new mommy feel extra special at her baby shower
Have a big comfy chair waiting for her to sit in.
Ask someone if they can jot down who all of the gifts are from.
Pre-address some thank-you cards for her, to make writing thank you a snap
Don't let mom carry any presents to her car - round up the shower gang to do the lifting!
Have a cute gift basket for the mom-to-be full of slippers, bubble bath, candles & a soothing CD.
Big brothers and sisters may be feeling a little left out.
Treat them to a basket full of books, crayons and bubbles!
