The Good Hostess’s Guide
to Surviving a Baby Shower

Stocking Up
This might not seem like a big thing, but you want to have lots of extra stock easily at hand for the day of the party. Go into the bathroom and make sure that you have toilet paper on the roll and place several others on the back of the toilet or on a visible shelf within reach. This keeps people from having to snoop through your cupboards in a desperate search for toilet paper. Also have a few folded hand towels and cloths out so that you or your guests can exchange the damp towels with fresh ones when it is needed.
Soap is another must, and I like to have several sinks available for people to wash their hands. If you only have one bathroom, you will want to utilize the kitchen sink since many guests will want to continue talking as they rinse their hands. Liquid hand soap is the best because it helps avoid the spreading of germs.
Lastly, have extra paper towels, carpet cleaners and the mop handy just in case someone spills food or a drink. You can quickly mop it up to avoid both slips and stains.
