    who planned your shower? I never had one but have had fun planning 'surprise' ones for loved ones
    How long did it go for? 2 - 3 hours
    Did you register somewhere? no...I sort of sussed out what the person needed...even suggested cash as a pressy to go towards a big item. We evne had a cloth nappy deomonstrator at one
    When did you have it? at mutual friends house
    How many people did you invite? 20 approx
    What activities did you do?
    - ice cubed babies (little babies are frozen in water and given out...first one to 'give birth' is the winner)
    - got the pg woman to get up and race each other to put a cloth sqaure nappy on a doll
    - had some letter that I pulled out one at a time and made people tell me a baby product with that letter.
    - most of the time we chatted and laughed.
    What food did you serve? Everyone brought a palte as it was a lunch thing...yummy

    All fantastic info here ladies!! Thanks!

    Cash is a great idea Maz, i think if i were to go down that path id make it completely annonymous so if people couldnt afford it they wouldnt feel bad IYKWIM? Plus im not too fussed on the actual pressies i just cant wait to get together with all my family & friends & ooo and aahh over the bubba

    I always go overboard with food didi will try my best not too, am thinking of making it in the arvo so might just do cakes & things like that

    Im wondering who planned your shower? My sister in law
    How long did it go for? about 2 and a half hours
    Did you register somewhere? Nope
    When did you have it? I was 37 weeks
    How many people did you invite? Approximately 20.
    What activities did you do? We did guess how many jelly babies in the bottle, guess the melted chocolate in the nappy (funny watching everyone say it looks like real poo!) Saying letters of the alphabet and you have to say answers to do with pregnancy/babies, whoever has the most letters at the end wins. And how big is the mum to be's belly, measured with string and they guess by cutting string to how long they think it is.
    What food did you serve? Chocolates, mini donuts, a platter with dip, carrots, cabana etc, and sandwhiches.
