With social distancing practice in place, many moms-to-be are having to rethink their baby showers. Here, get top tips from event planners on how to approach the change of plans.
Once you’ve made the decision to not move forward with your baby shower as originally planned, it’s important to let your guests know immediately. “The best practice for alerting guests of any cancellation or postponement would be for the host to reach out via email or phone once a decision has been made,” says Katherine Kommer, owner and lead planner at
Keep in mind that these vendors are in the same position as you. “They’re facing an unprecedented situation, one they have never encountered before,” Mensch says. “Most vendors are figuring things out day by day and trying to find a solution that is best for their clients while keeping their business and employees in mind.” With events being canceled, they will have no income coming in for the foreseeable future and may not have the cash on hand to offer a refund.
Be sure to schedule the virtual event at a time that works for everyone and on a video chat platform that even your less tech-savvy guests can manage, Kommer advises. Zoom, Skype, Facetime, Google Hangouts or Facebook Live are all good live video options. Right before your virtual shower, test your internet connection and send out a reminder alert to guests who plan to join.
