Re: BABY SHOWER
ooh, i went to a baby shower recently and it was awesome! it was afternoon tea at one of the hotels complete with fresh cream and scones, mini cakes and pastries- it was delicious! definitely consider a mini-food menu. it looks adorable and its fun to eat!
the games were as follows:
sock sorter: buy 12 or so pairs of tiny baby socks, all white but with different patterns, and you can time people as they try to match up the socks. the person who matches them all in the least amount of time wins! it was a really fun game!
baby food taste test: they wrapped some heinz baby jars of food in wrapping paper and passed them around with wooden sticks and everyone had to taste a little bit and write down what flavour they thought it was (squash is disgusting, and so is green beans! berries is goood! haha)
the prizes were chocolate popcorn wrapped in cute little plastic gift bags, tied with a ribbon.
also all the guests got little note cards that were headed "words of wisdom for the new mom". these were collected at the end of the shower and given to the mom-to-be to put into her memory book.
there were all white balloons. the shower colors were bright green and chocolate brown (in the gift ribbons and stationery) since the mom didn't know what she was having. red and teal is also another cute shower combo.
