Do you want to organize a different baby shower? Perhaps the mom-to-be really does have everything she could want for her baby and she would like to give something back to a cause or charity that is close to her heart. How about organizing a baby shower to raise funds?
Throwing a baby shower should always be about helping the mom-to-be celebrate the new baby she’s soon to bring into the world: it’s about acknowledging her hard work during pregnancy and the hard work she still has to do once the baby is born. get. Obviously, most of the time, the baby shower is an opportunity to bring gifts for the new baby or items that the new parents will really need, especially for those parents who may not be financially comfortable. However, some baby showers for women will be held when they already have at least one child, in which case they may already have most, if not all, of the baby gear they need. Or, in fact, the mom-to-be may realize that she is in a financial position to be able to comfortably buy what she needs, or simply realize that she has the opportunity to do something good for others at the same time. Whatever the reason, here are some great fundraiser baby shower ideas.
1. Host a baby shower tea party for charity. Many charities already use this method of fundraising. The idea is that on a particular date they ask people to host a tea party and ask guests to donate a small amount of money to attend. If the baby shower was to take place around one of these dates, it could be tied to the specific charity that publicizes the event nationally. However, if not, perhaps you could ask the mom-to-be which charity she would like to support. Make it clear on the invitations that you are asking for a charitable donation rather than bringing a gift, as the mom-to-be already has everything she needs and would love to be able to give to others while still being able to enjoy the company of your friends.
2. Incorporate sweepstakes into the games. One of the most well-known games is a raffle in which guests can guess details such as the date the baby will be born, how much she will weigh, whether she will be a boy or a girl, etc. It is not unusual for guests to pay a small amount, such as a pound, to enter the prize draw. This is often called a “diaper fund” with the idea that new parents use the money to buy diapers for the baby. However, it could also be very useful as a charity donation. Another game where this would work would be “guess the amount of candy in the jar” where guests would again donate a small amount to enter for a chance to win the candy jar.
3. For those financially better off moms-to-be or simply for those who already have what they need, donating gifts to charity would be a great idea. Of course, you should make this clear on the invitations, as guests may be offended if their well-chosen gift, purchased specifically for the mom-to-be’s new baby, is given away. However, if guests were told up front that the mom-to-be already has everything they could possibly need and would love to be able to give some essentials to new parents who have very little, most guests would be happy to please. The focus here would usually be on the necessary essentials such as diapers, wipes, newborn clothes, blankets, muslins, etc.
