Baby Shower
Question of the Month:
I want to throw a baby shower for my best friend and his wife
and have a different
baby shower theme than the current party that is planned. I
even have other
baby shower games planned that are different than the
current party that will be in a few weeks. Am I breaking some
"cultural" law that says there cannot be more than one shower? I
don't want people to think the new parents are greedy.
Baby shower
answer of the month
It is traditional to have one baby shower when looking at
history but it is absolutely fine to throw more than one
baby shower. It is important to figure out who will come to each
party and to check in with the mommy-to-be in making sure she is
okay with this. If the same people are invited to both, you can
let them know that they do not need to bring two
baby shower gifts. I hope this helps.

Thanksgiving
Baby Shower
November is here and
it is time to give thanks. Thanksgiving season
works out very well for planning
baby shower themes,
decorations
and baby shower supplies. A few ideas are to use
the theme of "giving thanks", by having everyone
say what they are thankful for. It is also a
great time to give by having everyone donate to
a charity of less fortunate people, especially
to a
women's shelter
or
children's organization.
A cute baby shower
idea is to have everyone sign a Thanksgiving
theme board (i.e., in the shape of a cornucopia,
turkey, pilgrim, fall colors, etc on the board)
and give the parent's to be so ideas that would
be helpful for their preparing for their little
one. Give some cute ideas to the mommy-to-be.
Symbolic candy,
including candy corns, miniature pumpkin
candies, and fall colored candy are great to
place on tables of the baby shower. Serving
finger food out of Cornucopia's (the horn
looking container that is symbolic of
thanksgiving) as well as spreading colorful
leaves and flowers (sunflowers) on tables is a
nice touch. The pumpkin theme is still cute and
works for Thanksgiving.
Finding pumpkins
that are symbolic of a mother, father and child
is a cute idea. Another cute idea is to purchase
pumpkins and place a smaller pumpkin in the
larger hollowed-out pumpkin to symbolize the
pregnancy! Dress the "mommy" pumpkin up for the
baby shower and it will be sure to get some
laughs from the baby shower guests!
Food that you serve
can also tie in such as little baby
shower finger food,
turkey sandwiches, ham, corn,
cranberries/cranberry juice. Baby shower
decorations can be purchased or created for the
Thanksgiving season as well as cups, place
settings and other items. The use of brown,
gold, orange, red, black and yellow is festive
for the November season. Dried leaves can also
be cleaned and used as decorations. Pass the
baby pumpkin (like hot potato) can be played.
Wall decorations can
be Thanksgiving related, with the use of
pilgrims, pumpkin cut-outs, Indian feathers,
turkey, and fall symbols. Items can be placed on
tables for the baby shower guests to enjoy! A
great
baby shower game
to play is to have everyone write a message for
the mother and father to be on cut out pumpkins,
cornucopias, leaves or pilgrim hats and present
them to the parent's-to-be by placing them in a
keepsake box shaped like a cornucopia. Have the
mother-to-be read each one out loud as she takes
them out of the box which makes for a
sentimental and fun time.
There are so many
ways to tie in the Thanksgiving season to the
baby shower theme. We also have tons of other
ideas throughout the site and hope you enjoy our
information. Have a great time at the upcoming
party and we hope to help out in your planning.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
