Danielle Lloyd Tattoos
It may be a surprise to you, but most folks in Britain have never heard of a baby shower. Baby showers are, of course, quintessentially American, with very, very few taking place in the UK... but that may be about to change. Danielle Lloyd, England's most glamorous Footballer's Wife, set a new trend last week when she held her own baby shower at the Courthouse Hotel in Soho, central London, which had the celebrity gossip columns buzzing. Danielle's shower may have had the paparazzi snapping, but, at the end of the day, it was a shower like any other, with friends, family and cute gifts for the mom-to-be, and baby, too.
It's probably a safe bet that where Danielle has led, others will follow, and this year may see the UK adopting baby showers for good. This, of course, is great news: it creates jobs and gets suppliers' tills ringing, which, in today's economic climate, is more than welcome. Britain has never been afraid of embracing great American ideas, such as Rock n Roll, Skateboarding, and Trick or Treat, so now may well be the time for a new tradition. If past trends are anything to judge by, then the UK may be on the brink of something big!
Not surprisingly, there are precious few organizers in the UK, so if you are in the UK and might be considering getting into organizing baby showers, then now may well be the time to take the plunge and go for it. Start out by doing a couple of freebies for family or friends - that gives you a Get Out of Jail card if you foul-up - and make sure to ask the mom-to-be and the guests to recommend you to others, if you did a good job of things. Word of mouth will take you further than any other form of advertising. Stay organized and be meticulous. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that it's an easy job, with no effort required. It's demanding work, and you must stay alert and be vigilant at all times. Nobody wants to hire a poor organizer.
Now that the UK has been bitten by the baby shower bug, the British can expect more fun and more celebrating of moms-to-be. And I say it's about time, too!
