Other Details
If the shower will be held in a restaurant, make reservations at
least two weeks prior to the date. At one- week prior, one of the organizers
should speak with the manager to confirm the details.
It will be unlikely that you can fit shower games into your
schedule. But if you'd like to try a game, keep it simple, short,
and more dignified than the type you'd play at home.
Keep decorations simple, you may not have much time for setup. A
cluster of festive, helium balloons and a banner honoring the guest of honor
will help to set the party mood. Add the appropriate party goods, and you've
probably done as much as you can in an office setting.
Alcohol is inappropriate in an office setting. Serve a
non-alcoholic punch instead.
