Himadri reached out to us to capture her baby shower last winter and she described it as a fun get together with dancing, games and lots of fun. They did not disappoint, it was one of the funnest baby showers we have ever attended or taken photos of. It was amazing to see how much fun everyone had and the games were some of the most creative games we have ever seen. One of the games was tossing “dirty” diapers into a basketball hoop in a certain amount of time and who ever got the most in won. Another game was used to announce the gender of the baby which was so emotional and fun! Himadri’s reaction was priceless when she found out the gender of her baby. It was amazing seeing all the dancing from family and friends and how much fun they had.

Having an MC at your event really helps keep the party on tract and makes it really fun. We recommend having one for any event (it can be a professional or a family member or friend who has amazing speaking skills or experience wrangling a crowd)

Here are three reasons why having an MC (Master of Ceremonies) for your baby shower is a great idea:

1. Keeps the Event Flowing Smoothly:

An MC ensures everything stays on schedule, from games and speeches to gift-opening, keeping guests engaged and avoiding awkward lulls.

2. Engages and Entertains Guests:

A good MC adds energy, humor, and structure, making sure everyone feels included and entertained throughout the event.

3. Reduces Stress for the Host:

With an MC managing the flow and announcements, you can relax and enjoy the celebration without worrying about logistics or keeping everyone on track.
