Baby showers are entertaining, but nesting parties are fun and functional! This viral trend has been all over social media for good reason!

guest for your nesting party. But don’t invite too many people! As the saying goes, “Too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the soup.” Delegate jobs based on individual strengths. As guests arrive, dole out tasks
based on their strengths. Is your cousin great at organizing? Put them in charge of the baby’s room. Is your bestie an excellent cook? Have them work on meal prepping some freezer options for those post-partum days when you need to fuel your recovery but don’t have the energy to feed yourself. Is your brother a gym rat? Assign him to rearrange furniture and other tasks requiring muscle. Aligning the tasks with everyone’s preferences or skills keeps frustrations to a minimum so you can enjoy this time with your loved ones. Keep it simple. Order takeout from a favorite local spot, provide beverages, and use disposable options for tableware. Remember, while fun is sure to be a byproduct of spending time with loved ones, the goal is to be productive, so the more manageable the party is to clean up and take down, the better.
