Baby Girl Shower

The long awaited blog is here! Last Saturday I co-hosted and planned a baby girl shower for a close friend and her husband.  When they had been pregnant with their son, they had two baby showers that I attended, one was couples and one was just for girls.  So when planning this baby shower for their soon to arrive daughter, her mother and I decided we would open it up to the couples, and families.  
I did lots of pre-planning and pre-shopping before her mom who lives in Texas arrived!  We had decided to go with an animal and also a "girl" theme. When thinking up ideas for games, and food, I had typed up a whole page  of notes and sent them to my co-host.  She loved all the ideas listed...and we went with it! So this year had a theme and direction to start in action. 

I had lots of fun planning the decorations!

I think the pink and the animals worked nicely together, what about you? 

As with most baby showers, there had to be games!  So I planned a "chug-from-the-bottle" game for half of the attendees.  The other half had to play "Guess the baby food" game.

 
After all the chugging and food tasting, we played a baby shower bingo game.  In order to play you had to find someone that had what was listed in the box, then they could sign it.  It was interesting, because even with such a diverse crowd from all walks of life, we couldn't find someone for certain boxes.  However it did invoke some interesting conversations among people. 

  

 I would say the shower was a success all in all.  Most importantly, the mother of my friend, the soon-to-be-mommy again, the soon-to-be-daddy again and all their guests really enjoyed themselves!  To me, that just makes this another amazing party that I planned :)
