throwing my girlfriend a baby shower... help!!!

What about something where guests bring a crystal for the mother, and she has the tree of life henna'd on her tummy?
Have you heard about Blessingways? My interpretation of them is that they are not commercial, but more spiritual.

oh, i must go and google this stuff... thanks x

My Girlfriends recently threw me a Mothers Blessing. They all bought two meals for my freezer for when we are busy with a newborn. We had a lovely civilised lunch with Champagne and Coffee, and they bought me a lovely Pandora bracelet which they all went out separately and picked a charm for me - its beautiful and will be passed down to my daughter, a lovely keepsake. There were only 6 of us and it was perfect

MummyNaomi, that sounds beautiful.. thats the kind of thing she is more into.. im passing every idea i have onto her (since its for her) and i have a feeling this is def the kind of thing she will go for!!

I will be asking for this type of thing with #2.. so gorgeous.

That sounds so meaningful MummyNaomi! You're one lucky woman, and family

You could get each person to write or decorate a page with why she means so much to them and 1 wish for her and her baby and have them bound for her to pass on - it would be so personal and touching - could be funny, sentimental etc etc.

I wasn't able to go but one of my gfs had a blessing way and all the people going donated a 50 x 30 cms piece of fabric that was used to make a birthing bunting for her as she was birthing at home!! Gorgeous idea! I don't like the whole eating chocolate out of a nappy thing (eeewwww) but my sister had a few games like cutting a ribbon as wide as my belly which was fun and blindfolded tasting of baby food! I think it's just nice being able to get together and hang out!
