These days, many families choose to have different types of showers, including back-yard barbecues to include men. These are a nice idea since they remember that Daddy is a part of new baby’s life, too.

But there is something to be said for a Sunday afternoon gathering of women to ooh and aah over Mommy’s belly without disparaging looks from men. One reason to plan a baby shower for mom only.

When you have only women at shower, you have opportunity to really "girl it up", so to speak, at your baby shower for Mom. You can do really girlie things and not have to worry about men being bored or embarrassed.

Here are a few suggestions for making a shower extra-girlish: Have Tea and Cake. Find a few really pretty tea sets and order little delectables like petit fours, tea cakes or maybe bring a cookie basket. Drink your tea like ladies, with pinky finger sticking up!

See if you can find pretty lace doilies for napkins. Pick up some baby shower party favors to go along with your ladies only party. You might even want to fake a British accent, dahling!

At your baby shower for mom and ladies only, let them all be pregnant. Maybe purchase some baby shower decorations to match pregnant theme. The guys definitely wouldn’t go for this!
