Baby Shower planning

my MOh is preggers and I am helping out with her shower planning ...

It's not going to be until June but I wanted to get a head start on the planning

she hasnt found out the sex of the baby yet but I was looking for some cute ideas maybe for a theme for the party and the decorations, unique gifts , fun games

anythin would be great...

I just want to do something different than the plain old shower

Thanks !

You can do stuff with baby blocks for the invites and stuff since it's neutral. I'd stick with all the pastel colors (unless she plans to find out the sex before June).

I did my Niece's Baby shower. You can look in my albums for some ideas.

For my shower my mom had A LOT of games which was really fun and kept everyone entertained. She had little plastic babies that she froze into ice cubes and everyone got one and the one who's water breaks first ( Ice cube melts first) wins,...you can also decorate the cake table with a lot of baby items (bottles, baby tylenol, rattles, pacifier, etc.) make sure everyone has a chance to see it and walk by it but dont say anything then discretely remove the items and have them write what they remembered from what was on the table the one with the most right wins.....As I was opening the gifts she set a timer and when it went off whoever's gift I was opening at the time it went off got a prize...she also did BINGO as I was opening the gifts Classic but always a hit.

We recently did a friends baby shower....we played a lot of games but my favorite was one where you had to guess the name of a baby animal. Like the person in charge would say 'kangaroo' and you had to write down 'joey'. Some of them were really cute, like one animals baby name was muggle. We also put different baby items in brown paper bags and passed them around and everyone had to guess what was in them by just feeling them. The favors for the game winners were baby bottles filled with different candy. It seemed to go over pretty well!

Just a suggestion, clip coupons that don't expire soon. Babies are expensive.

For my sisters shower last year We did a clothes line instead of a wishing well and it looked soooo cute!!!

You get a clothes line hung up and a bunch of cute clothespins and in the invitation ask people to bring a cute outfit or shirt or bib r just somethign to hang on the clothesline!!
It looks relaly cute and adds to the decoration!
