MY BABY SHOWER

admin answers:

Finger Sandwiches with either tuna, egg salad, chicken salad, or ham and cheese for examples. Egg rolls, small sausages wrapped in the Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, potato salad, macaroni salad.

I went to a baby shower not too long ago and instead of a cake, the hostess made cute decorated cupcakes with pink and blue paper cups and matching icing with sprinkles and a little boy or girl trinket on top. The mother-to-be was having twins (a boy and a girl) so it really turned out nice.

Fruit, candies, chocolate candies, store bought cake, pre cut fruit you can just put into bowls, punches, juices, etc….

Also sandwiches – maybe laid out meats, bread, cheese, etc so people can build their own.

I used catering by Chick-Fil-A since I only had 8 guests. It wasn’t very expensive actually for the amount of food and we had vegetable dip with bread and chips, sparkling cider, chicken wraps and chicken salad sandwiches, crackers with cheese and summer sausage and mini cheesecake dessert cups as well. My first idea was fried chicken and potato salad type of thing, but it ended up costing less for me to get sandwiches from Chick-Fil-A and they stayed good for longer when I had lots of leftovers.. Like another said, it’s really up to you, you can make it as high class or casual as you’d like!

Tortilla rolls

in a bowl mix together the same amount of each ranch dressing and whipped cream cheese. Then toss in chopped green onions and red bell pepper. Spread onto a flour tortilla and then add a few thinly sliced slices of ham on top. Roll the tortilla up and cut into small slices secure with a toothpick! So delicious and easy to make! Dont need to be refrigerated

You can do Dr sues theme food a veggie platter deli meat rolled up. Deviled eggs the veggie platter can be baby veggies like baby carrots. Cherry tomatoes celry witha veggie dip from knorrs. You can do little sandwiches. You can make ham roll ups with cream cheese and chopped green olives. Get spreadable cream cheese and chop up green olives mix together spread on ham and roll it up. Fruit punch and caffeine soda would be good. A Dr sues cake and you can go to party city and get Dr sues decor and make little paper books of his rimes. Or you can do mother goose theme. And get the theme from party city. Or any other party store.

I always thought a baby shower is to welcome the baby and congratulate the mom-to-be. I dont think it is selfish at all. I got roses for my neice when she was pregnant and for my sister, we got her some jammies. Something simple is fine I think – not like atrip to the bahamas or anything like that.

admin answers:

The only one that is a “shower” is the party before the baby is born. The latter one is a “meet the baby” party.

If the intent of the shower is to get gifts, please specify “no gifts” with the second party, or people will get the [hopefully mistaken] impression that you are hitting them up twice.

Congratulations!

I rarely go to showers because…. None of my friends are having babies yet but out of the showers i have been to and the ones that have been thrown for me i like the ones with NO games! Really just hanging out and getting to visit with everybody has been the best part about my showers because it isn’t all that often that i get together with all of my friends and just hang out.

I agree in general that it should only be for a first baby. But, I think there are a few exceptions.

1. If several years have passed and the mom has gotten rid of most baby stuff–like for example if a mother’s first child is 8 and she is pregnant again.

2. Multiples–Yeah, you may have stuff for one baby, but not for two. It’s hard to have two babies share a car seat and stuff like that.

3. Gender difference–I kind of think this is pointless because babies need the same things no matter what their gender is, so if you already have a son and are now having a daughter i don’t think you need to get pink stuff…but a small celebration where people just give baby clothes and no major items is a fun idea and can be done on a much smaller scale.

There’s always the old standard diaper pin game. Everyone is given 4 diaper pins at the begining of the shower and you explain that if you say the word “baby” and someone catches you, you have to give them one of your pins. Whoever has the most pins at the end of the party wins.
If they’ve chosen a name for the baby you can give everyone a piece of paper and see how many words they can make out of the letters of the baby’s whole name. Since they don’t know the sex of the baby, you could use both names.
As far as a gift goes, some things are gender biased and completely necessary, bath tub, stroller, car seat etc. One of the things I appreciated the most was a basket of things you don’t think of till you need them at 3 in the morning.. Baby Tylenol, a thermometer, Gas Drops, etc.
Have a great time, hope it helps.

admin answers:

You can try something on paper so it won’t be too distracting like:

1. Who know the mom to be best…..list questions of the mom to be…like what school she graduated from, whats her favorite color, or when did she find out what she was having….something down that road

2. You can play baby scramble….list scrambled baby things on a piece of paper and have the guest unscramble them. Put enough to keep them busy….some may stop to see the gifts and some might keep playing.

Or you can try Pin the Diaper on the Baby…..Blind fold the player and spin them around, and see if they can pin the diaper on the thats hung on the wall!

Good Luck and congrats on your new family addition!.

Think of what u would wear to a picnic. Sometimes ive worn dresses and sometimes ive just worn shorts and a top. It doesnt really matter.

admin answers:

Hi I would just tell her to wear whatever she feels comfortable in. I am having a baby shower and all I am going to wear is a comfy yet natural looking white linen dress. I don’t think there is anything right or wrong when it comes to a dress code at a baby shower, as long as she feels comfy thats all that matters, as it is not always easy trying to find something comfy to wear during pregnancy, its even more difficult trying to find something that you feel good in when in your about to pop.
She should just relax and enjoy it. While everyone pampers her.

I wore a fitted cotton lavender shirt, a tan skirt, and heels. I took the heels off after like five minutes. I just wore them because they matched my outfit. It was mid July, and I was about 7 months along, and I was hot all the time anyway, so just wear whatever you find comfortable. It’s your baby shower…if someone doesn’t like your outfit then tell them to go home! Seriously though, just dress in whatever is comfortable to you!
