Wow, Still can't believe I needed two posts to get everything I've done for this baby shower on here. Today I'm going to quickly show you the things I have done for games & decorations.
and a Diaper Pull Game (I cut mini diapers, everyone chose one as if they were choose a game card, and they opened their Diapers, who ever had the "dirty" one won the game. See, all very simple games, but they kept the activities and conversation going.
For Decorations, we also kept it very simple, my firend and I are BOTH very frugal, and find some things (such as balloons, flowers etc.) to be not neccisarily a 'waste' of money, but that money could be better spent elsewhere.
I have seen some VERY extensive Diaper cakes be made and all I can say is WOW! What little I put on this one cost a fortune! but I think it still turned out really cute, and for my first Diaper cake, it was fun learning how to make it.
Finally, on the other side of the room, to spread the theme around I used baby sleepers and onsies in the colors of the baby's room and decor and hung them on a line as a sort of banner.
Games First.... my friend said she liked the "cheesey" Shower games, however, told me not to go over board. So I kept it simple with a Memory Game (a tray loaded with a number of baby items), the classic Clothes Pin game (where if you say Baby someone gets to steal your pin),
and a Diaper Pull Game (I cut mini diapers, everyone chose one as if they were choose a game card, and they opened their Diapers, who ever had the "dirty" one won the game. See, all very simple games, but they kept the activities and conversation going.For Decorations, we also kept it very simple, my firend and I are BOTH very frugal, and find some things (such as balloons, flowers etc.) to be not neccisarily a 'waste' of money, but that money could be better spent elsewhere.So I made her a Diaper cake that doubled as a decorative center piece. This was really fun to make, but can be very costly if you don't plan it out.
Finally, on the other side of the room, to spread the theme around I used baby sleepers and onsies in the colors of the baby's room and decor and hung them on a line as a sort of banner.Over all I was happy, didn't go over board with the spending, the guests ha d a great time and Mommy to Be was happy too.
Happy Craftin'!
