Okay so this baby shower has totally turned into anything BUT a baby shower.
To keep things halal so everyone can be there, we’ve thought of just having a party in honor of my best friend. This is her 4th baby so no baby gifts allowed at all.
I need themes, ideas on what we can do aside from just a party, etc. Something outdoors? A trip downtown or something out of the box would be really nice. It’ll probably be in December sometime.
So what would be a place that she and others would enjoy?
Theme park?
Favorite restaurant?
How about a surprise picnic at the beach?
A surprise road trip....to some place not too far away. A place that she's always wanted to see...and that others would also like. May involve more planning.
How about a surprise that comes in series. Like pampering at a spa...followed by lunch at a favorite restaurant....followed by a movie. Or substitue movie with a trip to the mall.
The road trip to someplace not too far away sounds fun.
This is like the problem of my life right now...the pressure's on to make it amazing because she's been wanting a really special affair for the longest time.
And I am stumped.
My buddy's name is Aisha.
It would be titled Its All About Aisha. I would have the title song from the movie Aisha playing too when I surprised her. The song is just perfect for her and describes her to the T.
The themes I can think of are:
Hollywood
High Fashion Tea
Garden Tea Party
These are very classic themes though. As far as space, I was going to host it myself at the salon but is that not going to look right? If we do it there? I would decorate and make the place look totally different but is that not good?
One of my friends was suggesting making it an experience. Where we do something...like rent a limo and go somewhere she might enjoy. The question is, where? In January (her husband wants it early Jan now) where could we go? It will be really cold too. It seems a bit out there but if its what will make her happy, I don't want to pass it up.
