Before you plan a surprise baby shower, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. First, find out if the Mom-to-Be is registered for baby gifts, and if so, where she is registered. If she has not registered, then it will make gift buying a bit more difficult since this is a surprise baby shower. Getting help from her mother, another family member or a close friend regarding what the Mom-to-Be would needs for the baby. The invitations for surprise baby shower should indicate that the shower is a surprise.

Next, pulling off the surprise will take more than just one person to ensure the secret is kept. If there is someone close to the Mom-to-Be that will have a hard time keeping the surprise a secret, then it may not be worth the stress of trying to keep that person out of the surprise baby shower planning.

Through the help of close family and friends of the Mom-to-Be, planning the surprise baby shower will include them finding out a good day and time for the surprise shower party to be held. The personalized surprise baby shower invitations should clearly state that it is a "surprise baby shower", so no one will let the ‘cat out of the bag’ before the day of the surprise shower party.

One way to ensure that the surprise goes off without a hitch is to hold the baby shower celebration in a place where the Mom-to-Be will be comfortable and visits on a regular basis, such as a restaurant or the home of a good friend. Another thing to remember is to state on the surprise baby shower cards for guests to park away from the house, if it is held at a house, and to arrive early.

When ordering the custom surprise baby shower announcements, be sure and order the matching baby shower thank you cards for the new Mom-to-Be. After all, she will need to send baby thank you cards to all those who gave gifts or contributed to the party in any way. There are a few websites with excellent sample baby shower invitations wording ideas, verses and saying for baby invitations and baby thank you cards.
