Anything is fine as long as everyone is having a good time. When the baby shower guests arrive, usually they gather in a hall or big room. The mom-to-be will be sitting along a few close friends. Upon arrival of the baby shower guests, everyone should be offered some beverages and/or light snacks. Most of the time the baby shower guests know each other. But in case they don't, it is up to the hostess to introduce the guests to each other.
