baby showers are a lot of fun, you can start first by selecting what will be your motif, your thank you souveneirs for friends, the food most important of all the venue, of course you should know if your sis baby is a girl or a boy right? then, all else follows when you made every possible details in action

GOOD LUCK!!

It would be kind of difficult to have a baby shower for your sister when she lives so far from you. Why not write to one of her friends and ask if they know of someone who is planning a shower for your sister because you would like to help if you can. Maybe you could make invitations, or something like that. It used to be considered a breach of etiquette for a member of the bride, or a mother-to-be to give a shower. You might want to check that out.

I think it is great you want to throw your sister a shower. It will help her a lot. I assume you probably want to have the shower in Mississippi since she lives there? If not, you could have the shower where most of your family lives. If you have it in Mississippi, ask your sister for a list of her friends and co-workers that she would like to invite. Maybe she has a best friend in Mississippi who could be a co-host of the shower with you? She could do the things that must be done locally while you could do other things that can be done in Atlanta. For example, you could send out the invitations and order any food you might want over the phone. If you are going to prepare the food yourself, I would try to get her friend or a couple of her friends to help.
Your sister will need to register for gifts somewhere. Target and Wal-Mart both have baby gift registries. For a baby shower, it is ok to put where she is registered on the invitation. Regarding invitations, you can either order custom ones or you can find ones you fill out yourself at a Hallmark store or maybe at Wal-Mart.
Many people play games at baby showers. Don't do any tacky ones like trying to guess how many toilet paper squares it will take to go around her belly. Some women are sensitive about their weight gain. Some fun things to do are to have each guest bring a baby picture of themselves and you play a game and try to match them up with the person in the picture.
Good luck and don't worry about it too much. Just be sure and invite your sister's friends and have some snacks. It should work out from there!

Thank you! I will have to register @ wal-mart because there isnt a target in MS. I appreciate your advice. I requested your friendship as well!

Congradulations for your sister! I have collected some material on babyshower for you! Please read below:
The shower can be hosted by a close friend (or friends) of the mother-to-be. It has traditionally considered improper for a family member of the mother-to-be to host because showers are primarily a gift-giving event. However, today family members commonly help and many often plan the showers in many regions. It is still considered improper in some areas for family members to host the shower, so if you are concerned about this, it is best to ask some close friends that might know more of the local etiquette.
