3 Nesting Party Ideas You'll Love!
Do you have a loved one welcoming a baby soon into their home? Within the past few years, nesting parties have become a new and special way to bless expectant parents, foster parents, and adoptive parents alike. A nesting party offers gifts in the form of acts of service. Hosting a nesting party not only helps new parents prepare their homes but is also a beautiful display of community!
Here are three fun and creative ideas to inspire you when planning a nesting party for someone you love!
1. Get Together and Make Freezer Meals!
Freezer meals can be an incredible blessing to an expectant family. Hosting a nesting party provides loved ones the opportunity to stock the freezer with multiple meals for the parents-to-be. Looking for freezer meal inspiration? Maureen shares 8 recipes you're sure to find helpful here!
2. Offer to Clean The Home!
Help a new mom prepare her nest by cleaning the home. The last month of pregnancy can present many unique challenges. Not being able to bend down or carry a heavy vacuum cleaner can make simple cleaning tasks more difficult. This is where a nesting party would be an immense blessing. Friends and family alike can come together to clean the home before the baby's arrival, allowing the mother-to-be to rest and enjoy the last few days of pregnancy.
3. Line up Meal Schedule for Postpartum Care
During this time when friends are already together, take a moment to set up a meal schedule! Once the schedule is created, it's easy to invite friends! Simply click any of the links under the "invite friends" banner near the top of the page and share through email, Facebook, or other helpful platforms.
Hosting a nesting party is a wonderful way to support a new mom by helping her feel less overwhelmed. There is much to prepare for when welcoming a new child into the home. While there are many ways to shower a mother-to-be with love and support, we especially love the idea of preparing the home.
