Themed Baby Showers
by Becky Long
Creative baby shower ideas.
All right, I'm in is a rush to be a grandma! Though
both of my children
are
married, neither of them is expecting a child. But, I
live in hope. I'm
ready for a baby, and I'm ready to throw a shower.
Not long ago, I planned and survived a themed wedding
shower for my
daughter. Since her wedding would take place in
December, the theme for
her
shower was the holiday season, complete with
mini-lit-up- trees on each
table. Happily, that went off successfully.
Now, my eye caught this book -- Themed Baby Showers--
and I read it in
secret.
It breaks down the arduous task of organizing people
for a fun
afternoon
together into simple "baby" steps for the novice party
planner. The
chapters are divided into 15 party themes, like, Baby
101, A Star is
Born,
and Shake Rattle and Roll. I have already picked out
my favorite chapters: ABC and A Star is Born.
ABC describes how each guest is asked to bring a
favorite storybook for the new
baby, while a Star is Born in which stars and good
wishes abound. There are
plenty of
ideas for invitations, favors, party games, and even
food dishes. The
party
planner can certainly pick his/her favorite ideas from
lots of different
themes and put together a fun party of their own.
The ideas of sitting with a bunch of people all
afternoon, looking
at
one baby outfit or diaper pail after another can tend
to be boring.
This
book is a jumping off point for anyone who is planning
a baby shower and is
hoping to
add a few memories to the day.
