Any ideas for a baby shower for someone who hates traditional shower games? The party will be 3 hours long so my mother is insisting we have something for people to ‘do’ – i don’t mind some sort of activity but hate the traditional shower games. Any ideas? TIA!
I was at a baby shower where the host had card stock sheets with each letter of the alphabet and some colored pencils. We each took a letter or two to decorate and then the host was going to bind it to create a personalized alphabet book for baby. Pretty cute!
I asked everyone to bring their favourite childhood book and talk about what it meant to them; we had a game in which everyone had to supply the names of different baby animals (‘cygnet’ for ‘swan’, etc); and I think we also had a nursery rhyme game.
