Don't think it's really advisable to plan it as a surprise.. Your friend might already have plans to host her own baby shower? Furthermore, it's bb's full month celebration. Most of the time will invite close friends and relatives. Plus give out cakes and red eggs. If you're planning it as a surprise, it's kind of hard to organize all these..

Perhaps you can bring her out for a meal together with close friends instead, to celebrate the end of confinement? Baby showers tend to be more personal so it's really kind of hard (and weird) to be planning it as a surprise for your friend. Also, you got to consider the fact that she might not even want to have a baby shower as it can be quite tiring having to entertain guests and take care of a month old baby.

Since she would have just finished her confinement, you can bring her out to feast on all the food she was denied of during her pregnancy. Buffet would be an excellent idea. You can try Carousel at Royal Plaza, there's lots of good reviews on it. But advance reservation will have to be made! And it's quite expensive...

If you still decide to go along with the surprise baby shower, I don't really have any suggestions but what I will advice is NOT to host it in a chalet. The older generation people will not like the idea of it as chalets are mostly considered "dirty" and babies are really very sensitive to it.

All the best! ^^

if i'm not wrong.. western baby shower is not a full month celebration but is a party thrown before the mama goes for labour? they throw parties when the mum's pregnant, some even have "gender reveal parties" which sounds really fun! i dont know why we don't have... lol...

cutea i think maybe you can try booking a chalet instead of venues like restaurants etc? if you want more freedom? and then you can bunk overnight as well... save one night's hotel $$

@worthy lady thanks for the reply but i think we celebrate our baby shower by cultures.we only celebrate or give a baby shower one time only and it's before the mother gave birth.i heard about the carousel at royal plaza it seems a nice restaurant.
i know its really hard to do a surprise baby shower and its my first time doing it and i'm not based in singapore.so i'm trying to contact her closest friend in singapore to pull this one out.well its the thought that counts right :001_302:

to all the mommies out there any suggestions or recommendations??
PLS share
thanks

Ohhhh. I thought your baby shower meant full month celebration for newborn. Oops!

If that's the case, chalet would be fine. Can stay overnight as well, your friend will be able to rest and won't be so tired. If it's for 30pax and above, can try booking at Aloha Loyang as it's quite big for the bungalows. Has 4 rooms, 2 queen size beds and 4 single beds in total. Shower room in every individual room plus a common washroom. There's even a kitchen, dining area and living room where u will be able to host your games and stuffs as it's quite anbig area if u move away the sofas and tables. Then you can cater buffet, would recommend you neogarden for that. Their food is not bad. There's a bbq pit available as well. ^^

Actually I heard quite a lot of bad reviews on the service there and that they are not very helpful in helpijg you plan events. You can still give it a try though cos the ambience is really not bad.
