i just had a babyshower and participated in the planning i made home made invitations with my friends they came out really cute they were in shape of rattles and had strawberry shortcake on the front and inside there was rice so when you shook them they sounded like rattles and info was on the back…as far as games we had alot you can search on the internet thats what we did and as for the food we had it catered by subway yummii my favorite and we also gave out party favors at the end to all the guests…hope this helps have fun!
I threw a shower for my sister and one of the things that she really loved was “Baby’s First Library”. When you send out the invitations you include in them a lil note that tells the guests to bring their fav. childhood book for the baby. They can inscribe something on it if they want to. But it is a really great thing to do. Also You can do the dirty diaper game. You get some different kinds of mini candy bars and put them into different diapers, melt them a lil in the microwave and then everyone smells they and try to guess what kind each one is. Make sure you have a camera ready while they are doing this it is really very funny.
Get those invitations out now! Just do a few games, because you’ll have to buy some little prizes. More $$. There’s the toilet paper around the mommy’s belly game, two clothes pin games(contact me for details). I’d stick with cold cuts (buy the meats & cheese from your market deli and roll slices up and arrange your own deli platter) and side salads for food. You could set out hummus & pitas, or veggies & dip too.
I would get a ducky stamp and some card stock for the invites, and just use a lot of yellow and white for decorations (can stamp with the duckie if you want.) For my sister’s shower we did a 1st year theme, basically ppl got stuff she would need thruout the first year, not just newborn baby stuff. You can also do a diaper cake, basically a stack of diapers shaped like a cake. Use like baby socks, rattles and such as decorations on the cake (can find how to do it here ..)
the diaper game is a good idea(food in a diaper and ppl guess what it is), or the guessing game (take a bag and put some baby related stuff in it-a rattle, rubber ducky, etcetc) and let ppl feel in the bag for like 20 sec then write down what they think is in it, word scrabble (give them a list of words baby or pregnancy related-whoever unscrambles the most wins). Enjoy the party.
