Another high-tech option is setting up a live video feed on a computer. If you have a computer and a web camera, and there is one available in
out of town location, it would be fun if out of town friends and family could gather together while
local shower is being held. They could either hold a simultaneous shower (similar to
videotape shower) or send their gifts to
local shower and be "present" for
opening. If games are going to be played, any handouts should be sent to
out of town guests, so that they can "participate", as well. Perhaps they could even serve
same food.
Friends and family are so important in
life of a woman expecting a baby. Providing an opportunity for them to be present in some way for her shower is probably
best gift that you could give her. If at all possible, find a way to involve those who can't be physically present.
