im having my first baby shower on the 25th sept... i asked everyone to bring a plate, got some close friends to help with decorations, and made it "girls only". I organised a few activities, ie. i bought a large canvas and some colourful paints and will let everyone do a little masterpiece to hang on babys wall! :)
I also enlisted the help of my best friend to organise some games and name tags etc. RSVPs ar due 4th sept, so that gives about 2 weeks to set up. You really dont have to have anything fancy, or put in that much effort, people will love being invited to celebrate your baby!!

Yah well my MIL was planning a surprise one for me, but when she found out that I was having one (organised by mates)...she decided not to throw me the other.....dammit!!!

Marlene, you should have still insisted on one any way...even after the babies were born...its never too late for food and pressies!!

The desserts are delicious and the plain veges are pretty good too, it's just when you get into the baby food with meat that it starts making you gag.

Oh that was nice of them Aimee...I doubt I will get any thing like that....But I know my friends are organising some thing for me....I told them I am too tired to organise any thing after my "house moving".

So how far along do you have to be (usually) to have a baby shower? I mean does it have to be (as an example)at or around 34 weeks .....???

theres millions of sites with different games on them

here's the one i used for when i threw a baby shower for my sisters' and also when my sisters threw ones for me. lol

http://www.babbee.com/

we did pin the baby on the mummy and printed out a pic of a fetus, backed it with cardboard and then had to pin it on a lifesize drawing of a preggy mummy,

we also put cotton balls in a bowl and you had to spoon them into another bowl in a certain amount of time... but you were blind folded... soooo hard, cos they are so light you dunno if you have any on the spoon.

other than that... just relax and enjoy the gifts and food. we made it bring a plate.]]> Thu, 18 Aug 2005 22:29:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=875&PID=13741&title=baby-showers#13741 <![CDATA[**Baby Showers** : all 3 i attended were females...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=875&PID=13734&title=baby-showers#13734 Author: Xander&Harmony

its entirely up to u as to wot u want to do but my first shower we played games like gess the bump circumfrence,who's that baby,guess date weight time.my mates one we playd spit the dummy,pin the napy on the baby,fear factor baby style.My 2nd shower was just me n 3 mates havin a movie n munch nite as i had done the whole game one before.

how to play games mentioned: bump circumfrence is easy just need loo roll/string or the like,whos the baby is when u get everyone to bring a baby pic of themselves,and u have to try guess whos who.spit the dummy well name says it all,whoeva spits there dummy furtherest wins.fear factor baby style we had a potty(clean and sanitised of corse)filled with  lemon jelly and a cooked sausage (wees n poos),and u have to fish the sausage aka poos out using only ur mouth.
