Surprise a Friend by Hosting a Puppy Shower
How to Host a Puppy Shower
By surprising a friend or family member with a puppy shower, you will let them know that you are as excited by the new addition to their family as they are. It is a fun and cute way to show your support of their enthusiasm. You can host a puppy shower with these easy steps.
Invite friends and family to the puppy shower: Print up some cute invitations or just call a few people on the phone. You may want to limit the guests to pet lovers who will show their enthusiasm.
Decorate in appropriate colors for the puppy shower: if a friend or family member is adopting a puppy, they probably already know the gender. Perhaps they are just waiting on the puppy to get older. If they have a female who is about to deliver a litter or already has, you can mix and match colors.
Have fun with your theme. There are web sites that are dedicated to selling decorations for all kinds of pet related events. You can order from these sites, or browse them for ideas.
Add a list of puppy shower gift ideas to the invitations: Some people won't have a clue as to what they could buy for a puppy shower, or what it even is. Tell them it is just a fun way to support a friend who is getting a new puppy. Here are a few gift ideas:
A. Books related to puppy care
B. Stuffed animals and puppy toys
C. Small baby blankets
D. A gift certificate for a puppy wellness check at a local vet
E. Food dishes with the puppies name on them
F. Cute bejeweled colors and puppy bows, if it is a girl
Well, you get the idea. Basically anything puppy related will be a welcome gift. It can get expensive to stock in everything a new puppy needs. Gifts can be anything from a simple doggie brush, to an expensive pet carrier, depending on how much you or your guests want to spend.
This is also a great way to get a new puppy well on its way to socialization. Have the friend bring the puppy to the shower. If it is a surprise, just ask them to bring the puppy over so you can see it. Everyone will "Oh and ah" over the puppy. Your friend will be happy that you did this for them and the puppy will enjoy the attention.

Post a CommentAnother great pet article.. this is really an awesome way to promote responsible pet adoption and guardianship by providing info and tools to help the new puppy parents get off on the right foot. Too many people adopt pets without much thought, and this idea is a wonderful way to help prepare emotionally, mentally and physically for the new puppy. Nice job, Donna :)
What a wonderful idea!! I love it!
