baby shower

[Edwina's Secretary]

I still remember the first baby shower I ever attended. There were games. Well...I am a little competitive so I played hard and won.

My prize was a baby bib. I was terribly confused. I had no baby, no plans for a baby. What was I to do with a baby bib???? Finally someone whispered in my ear...."you give it to the honoree!"

I did not try as hard to win the rest of the games.....

Thanks for the tips and ideas, everyone I've printed them out and I'll be giving them to my friends who are giving me the party!

It's very exciting, and we don't have anything for the baby yet except furniture, so it'll be very needed, too! I'll let you know how it goes

I have a game idea.... last night, at a friends's birthday farty, we all played Bunco! It was my first time playing, and I really enjoyed myself! It's a really fun game.

Games from baby showers I have attended:
1. See who can make the most words out of the letters in mommy and daddy's names. Yes, names are permitted, too. Note: If you have a bunch of literary friends, make sure there is an unabridged dictionary handy for disputes.

2. How well do you know mamma? A friend asks you a bunch of questions beforehand, everyone gets the questions, and has to guess what your answer was. Whoever gets the most, wins a prize!

3. One I always would win: Fill in the words to these popular lullabies, for example, "Hush little baby, don't say a word, momma's gonna ___ ___ a ___________."

4. Random drawing - everyone must fill out their address on an envelope (which fits the thank-you notes you will send) - and the winner of the random drawing gets a prize.

Prizes can be small - a picture frame, garden tools (spring baby), small plants ...
