I celebrated my baby shower last weekend as well as my little boys first day at school. It was a busy week!
For my baby shower I started preparing on Wednesday. Firstly I kitted the place in Pink! Then I got games/party ideas off the internet. Most of my games came from Amazon.
Food-wise:
I did a 'Taco Bar' with Taco shells acting as cots. I made a massive slow cooked chilli con carne, cheese fondue, guacamole, soured cream, peppers and veg and bread and nachos. It was a help yourself deal.
Dessert:
Jack and I made an epic cake (see photos below with stages). I also did a sweetie station. Inside the cake was a milk bottle meant to be the next person to have a baby. funny enough my son got it which is pretty accurate as his baby sister is due in less than two months.
Drinks:
I made four varieties of non-alcoholic cocktails. These were Pina Colada, Damson and orange punch, Fruit Punch and Pink lemonade.
Entertainment:
The games we played were
- Facts about Mummy
- Blindfolded nappy change
- Baby Shower Charades
- Guess whose baby image
- Stick The Dummy blindfolded
- Baby shower predictions (with a prize after for who was closest). This one is great as have them all to look at.
- I also had baby ice melts with first one melting shouting 'my waters broke'. I didn't get round to playing this game.
Favours:
I made little favour packets with candles for everyone to light on the night she is born. I also put pink bonbon and sweets in the packs.
Theme and Dress:
The theme was pink. I put on the invitation IMPRESS
IM- Bring an Image
P- PINK- Wear something Pink
ESS- DREss
I wore a tight fitted dress which was deep red. I had a clashing Pink sash saying 'yummy mummy to be'
