Hilarious Baby Shower Fun

May 26, 2010 By

If you’re putting on a baby shower, you’re in luck! There’s almost nothing as fun as a baby shower. Everybody loves them. Why? Because it’s the happiest event of all events, a time to welcome a new baby to our beautiful blue and green jewel of a planet.

If you’re searching for something to jazz up your baby shower, drop everything else and start thinking about baby shower games! They can be so much fun that you and your guests will be rolling around on the floor laughing. And that’s the other side of the baby shower coin: If you do it right, everybody has a good chance to get in touch with the happy, innocent, laughing child that resides forever inside of them!

So let’s look at a few baby shower game possibilities. Once you’ve read these, you’ll want to go check out some more. There are hundreds right on the net! Have a ball!

Baby Pictionary: Pictionary is the kind of game that creates hilarity wherever it goes. Baby Pictionary is no exception. You don’t need the board game to play it. Just write out some baby-related phrases on some index cards and have a guest try to draw what’s on the card within the time limit (two minutes, usually). Use a big pad of newsprint on an easel and a dark marker. The artist cannot speak! This game can be played in teams or with just individuals drawing for the whole group.

The Baby Food Game

Put out some baby food in tiny, unmarked disposable paper cups. (Make sure you can identify what the baby food was!) Each guest gets to taste the food and guess exactly what it might be! (Choosing the less common flavors will make this game more fun.)

Figure out a cute prize for the winners, like a big safety pin with a blue ribbon with the name of the mom being honored on it. Let loose and have a ball!

Fall Baby Shower Invitations

May 26, 2010 By

Fall is the time for changes and nothing is a bigger change then adding a new baby to the family. A fall baby shower allows for using the season as a big theme. Fall is all about bright, rich colors and, of course, leaves. Leaves are an easy to use symbol. One of the biggest parts of a baby shower is the invitations. Fall baby shower invitation can incorporate the bold colors and leaf symbol to create a piece that won’t get lost in the pile of other mail.

A good fall themed invitation should use the traditional fall colors, orange, yellow, red and brown. A creative invitation can be shaped like a leaf. Another idea is to get simple plain white invitations and do colorful leaf rubbings all over it. The use of these colors will make the invitation stand out, so it is important not to forget the envelope. The envelope should be brightly colored like the invitation itself. The importance of making the incitation stand out is so that it does not get mixed in with junk mail or overlooked when the person receives it.

The information inside should not be overlooked, though, in the process of creating a visually appealing invitation. The following lists all of the critical information that should be inside the invitation:

- Mother-to-be’s Name
- Hosts Name(s)
- Location, with directions
- Date and Time
- Registry, if any
- Other information. This includes information about special dress or anything the guests should bring.
- RSVP
- Contact Phone Number

Fall baby shower invitations are sure to make a good impression on guests. The mother-to-be will love to put an incitation back for the baby’s keepsake book, too. The concept is bright colors and leaf symbols that will make sure nobody on the guest list misplaces their invitation and that the party will be great fun.

The theme will help make ideas for other aspects of the party, like invitations and favors, come easier. For a BBQ shower invitations could be something like a wagon wheel with wording that says ‘Help the little one roll into town’. Decorations could include bandana napkins, cowboy hat cups or other western type items turned in decorations or supplies. The party favors should be also themed. A cute idea are small cowboy boots filled with candy. Once the décor is taken care of it is time to look into the other important factors: food and games.

Food and games are going to be the highlight of the party. A person can get very creative with the BBQ food. They can serve baby back ribs and baby ears of corn if they wish to be cute. Of course the guests won’t care as long as it is tasty. Games are a fun way to get everyone involved in the party. Since the party is being held outside and there are going to be a variety of people the games can be of a great variety. Water balloon tosses or even a piñata are great ideas. There can also be more traditional games. If possible the games should somehow tie into the BBQ theme.
