Since it's slow, I'll take baby shower ideas

Throw 'em at me, any ideas you have :)  I'm meeting with my co-hosts early next week. Info: 36 yo first time mom having a boy in July.  Shower looks to be in late May (it will be all her friends, family, and probably some invites by her MIL). Location will be at a co-host's home.

Food, games, themes? I'm going to Hobby Lobby tonight for something NR, but will probably look around while I'm there.

We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

  • This person did a bird/ "about to hatch" theme. The baby was a girl, but I think you could change up the colors and it would be equally adorable for a boy.

    Your job is totally interfering with my ability to communicate efficiently during the day with you.

    Agreed! Obviously I did not see your floorplan earlier. Sigh.  What's funny is sometimes I get a broken image icon (or blank white space) and then the next day, the image will magically appear. It's muy weird.

  • Leigha -- I've got pictures up of the baby shower my mom and I just threw for my aunt on my FB. They're in the 2010 album.

    Also, I suggest making a diaper cake. I posted pictures on my blog in my siggy, and I've got some more detailed directions on my craft blog: http://craftedbycolette.blogspot.com

    This was a HUGE hit at the party.

     I saw your diaper cake on the blog. Very nice. I've seen them before, but never made them. I'll check out your pics on FB tonight! I'm hoping maybe there is one of the invitation....wait, did you and your craftiness make them?

    No, my mom in all of her craftiness made them :) But they were suuuuuper simple. I don't have a picture, but I can describe it:

    Cut a piece of blue & white striped or polka dot paper to 10x7; fold in half (made a 5x7 card). Type party info and cut/paste to the inside of the card. On the cover, she had a piece of ribbon stretched across the front like a clothesline (you'll see why in my FB pics of how the room was set up), and then found cutouts at Michaels of little baby clothes so it looked like they were hanging from the ribbon.

  • As an expectant mom, I would love to get a diaper cake.  The egg/hatched thing is cute and different so I would like that.  I was in a Hobby Lobby the other day and they had a ton of Easter stuff so there are plenty of great options.  Guessing what is in the plastic egg would be an easy one.

  • My first shower was fairly standard with a few games that were just okay (e.g., unscrambling baby-related words, baby bingo), but the most popular was by far was the "guess the baby food flavor." Everyone sampled from about 6 different jars of baby food and (obviously) had to guess the flavor. I think this worked well because the hostess didn't go for weird flavors like pot roast. After my second shower tomorrow, I'll let you all know if there was anything fun worth mentioning.
