Baby Shower Hosting 101Written by Dana Williams
Are you ready to host best baby shower ever but don't know where to start? Baby showers are fun, but planning one can be tedious. In this article we'll cover basics to get you started.So who should host baby shower? Traditionally, only non-relatives are to host a baby shower -- co-workers, church groups, etc.; however, it has become more common and acceptable for mothers and sisters to host showers too. The important thing is that someone take initiative to host shower -- what a wonderful display of caring for a growing family and a special way to help welcome a new life into world. It is also perfectly acceptable for more than one person to host a baby shower. It can be fun for a group of friends to share responsibilities and excitement of planning and hosting this special event. When it comes to inviting guests, you likely have some idea of those you want to invite to shower, but it is always a safe bet to run guest list by mom-to-be to ensure you haven't left anyone out. You can invite guests via a phone call or an e-mail (be sure they check their mail regularly!), but written invitation is still most preferable way to kick off a shower. You can even find baby shower ecard invitations online. Just do a simple search online and I'm sure you'll find one. No matter what type of invitation you use, be sure to include pertinent information -- whether it regards a theme, a note of where mom-to-be has registered, a map or written directions to shower, or any special item you want guests to bring for mom. Showers are normally given a month or two before mom's due date. It's a good idea to give mom enough time following shower to shop for items she didn't receive, yet wants to have before baby arrives. And of course you don't want to hold shower too close to baby's due date in case he or she makes an early arrival!

Moving in to a new place is exciting. You buy new things, refurnish, decorate… But, in all this excitement, people tend to forget something important, more then anything else - their personal security.There is always a possibility that last tenant forgot to give you one more copy, perhaps your superintendent, building manager, even renovation company. The only way you can defend yourself from this option and everything that is implied from it is to change your lock. There are many ways to protect your new home, like putting bars on windows, make sure that Intercom and Video Intercom in your building are installed in a proper way and, must important, changing locks and making sure that locks installed are from best kind.
