When you host a baby shower for a friend, make sure you enlist someone to document the big day through photography. The mom-to-be is going to be too busy socializing to take her own photos, but you know she will want to remember this party! You don't need professional photography, but get a guest with a reliable camera who isn't shy about asking people to pose and smile. Of course, you can do it yourself if you have time between all your hosting duties!

Unless this cake is actually issuing a command for us to welcome Simon. Hmm... |

I'm not saying that Oreos covered with chocolate stamped with little ducks are
the cutest baby shower favor you will ever see in your life, but seriously, they've gotta be in the top 5. |

| Yogurt bars are THE BEST for brunch time showers. And check out that low-cost and adorable flag banner! |
Special Gifts
 |
| This thoughtful guest made a banner for the new baby's room. It's sweet to get a photo of the gift and the giver. |
Fun Group Shots
It's likely that the gang doesn't get together very often. A group photo like this will be treasured by the new mom! Try to think of a cute place to take the photo. And take a few to make sure everyone has their eyes open.
Guests Having Fun
Mix it up with candid and posed shots.
