Napakasarap sa pakiramdam ang makasama ang mga pamilya, kaibigan at kapamilya na tunay na masaya at naka suporta sa pinaka mahalaga at pinaka pinangarap kong papel sa buhay ko. Napakadami namang nagmamahal samin."

If you have the energy and creativity, you can plan your own baby shower with some help here and there. This may even make you feel a little less anxious awaiting your due date. Here are a few baby shower ideas from first-time moms:
Theme
What you want is something fun and enjoyable for you and your guests. Think of your favorite color, animal, or mythical creature, like a mermaid. You can also check out the trending topics, shows, or bands. Maybe there's a specific object or event that's been influential in your pregnancy journey.
Venue
If your guest list is limited to a few relatives and friends, holding the event at home can be a practical and economical choice. But if you intend to invite more people, opting for a bigger and more accessible place can be more practical and economical.

The best way to save money on decoration is to go DIY. If you have the time and you can create designs and layouts on your own, this won’t be a challenge. But if you are not confident with your DIY and styling skills and know someone who is, then don’t hesitate to tap that person for help.
Of course, the invitation, souvenirs, table set-up, balloons, and buntings must be in line with your chosen theme. If all else fail, there’s always Divisoria, the mall, or online shops for these items.
Food
Unlike birthday parties, baby showers do not really require you to serve full course meal to your guests. Party trays and pica-pica or finger food like chips, chocolates, and candies will do as long as it’s more than enough to satisfy your guests’ hunger (and your cravings).
Gift registry
Whoever invented gift registry is a genius. Not only is it convenient and free, but it also gives the guests the idea of what you really need (read here for gender neutral gifts). There are a few online registries that you can sign up.
