knottie formerly known as StephKen is looking for baby shower ideas
Hi all!
I'm making my annual appearance on the boards 
I'm throwing a baby shower for a dear friend and am looking for unique ideas as far as games come. I'm not a huge game fan at showers and the typical go to "game" my friends and I do is pass a piggy bank around and everyone gives their "2 cents" as well as their change. We are trying to find a new fun game that everyone will like... def not "how big is the belly"!!
Any cute, fun things you all have done??
Also, any ideas/suggestions for favors, decor, etc... would be helpful as well! The theme is basically soft pinks and brown... one of the nursery fabrics involves dandelions. We are looking for soft, elegant touch.
Thanks in advance!! And glad to see a lot of familiars names on here!!!
Steph

Are you the drunk Steph that I uesd to run into at the bars all the time? If so.. hollaaaa!
Just don't do the game where you measure the belly or where you melt candy in a diaper and guess what it is
Not much help with games as I'm not a huge fan of games at showers either, but for decor, you can find some ideas at Hostess with the Mostess' blog: hostessblog.com
She has some really neat ideas that you can warp into your own.
You bet I am Amy!!!
MrsKa08 - Thanks for the blog site - I will def check that out!!
Here was one I just stumbled on a few minutes ago on that blog site: it follows the pink and brown theme and is really a neat idea.

At mine they asked my H a bunch of questions and then I had to answer them... it wasnt a "game" per se but it was funny and got the crowd laughing.
Also, had a camera and when each guest came in took a picture and then they wrote a piece of advice on a note card and it all went into a lil album.
