Baby Showers

[mbear]

The mum to be basically elected 3 helpers - me, her sister and her mother.
Her mum made the sandwiches (we all helped though)
The sister bought the drinks (champers,schnapps, OJ)
I brought scones (i got these from woolies on the morning of the party, much easier than baking them), and i made a marshmellow slice.
The mum to be brought cupcakes, mini sausage rolls, cut fruit.

We had 2 of the girls invited to the party offer to bring dips/cheese etc. We took them up on that offer !!!

We had sooo much food leftover. When it comes down to it, your friends have come to see you and your growing belly, spend a couple of hours with you, have a drink, a snack, watch you open your gifts, and off they go - its a day you will always remember....

My baby shower is tomorrow It's being organised by SIL and my sister. I made all the invitations (just cause I like doing that kind of stuff ) and SIL is taking care of all the RSVP's, food and decorations. She put up a piece of string all the way around the room and hung paper cutouts of babys clothes, nappies (including safety pins!) on all different patterns of paper...looks so cute! My sister has organised the games.

All I've had to do was the drinks, the prizes for the games and clean the house! SIL has made cookies in the shape of pram and iced them, put them in organza bags and I've made "thank you" tags to go on them which everyone will get a bag to go home with. I'm also making sandwiches which will be cutout in the shape of baby outfit and hat.

We found some paper plates and napkins at Woolies that are pastel colours and say baby on them.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow!

I just had my baby shower on Sunday and it was lots of fun. I had a kind of "drop by anytime between 1-4" kind of thing, and lots of snacks out.

Because there were women from lots of different areas of my life there who don't know each other, we had 'games' that you could kind of do as you wanted. For example, my mum did up these sheets with word scrambles that were all baby related. People could take a sheet and sit and work on it as they wanted, or discuss it with others.

My personal favorite activity was the "mould a baby" one. I have lots of play-doh, so I brought it all out and encouraged people to make their own play-doh baby and leave them on display. They were really funny.

Have fun, its an awesome day!
