Okay so I baked a dozen cupcakes just to practice frosting them. It wasn’t an easy task but since I love ya and don’t mind sharing ideas, I’ve created easy step by step directions to follow… I added food coloring to white (vanilla) frosting. Stirred it up with a spoon. Then added different colors to […]
Each guest will get a travel size bottle of lotion just for attending. After sniffing several scents I went with the Wild Berry Tulips from Bath & Body Works. A blend of red raspberry, sheer honeysuckle, and pink tulips with vitamin E, jojoba, and shea butter. The game prizes include fragrant candles, purse holders, scarves, […]
I made this little guy by cutting up a blue pom pom, glued on the fuzzy pieces to create his fro, and wrote: you’re a winner on the sticky note. Then wrapped in plastic so it could be an instant win type thing at my sister’s baby shower. Do you like his googly eyes? Whoever […]
Some baby items don’t need to be wrapped individually. You can put them in a gift bag or a gift box like I did. First, put tape on the back of each item and arrange them a certain way. Then place them inside the box. Put some tissue paper down and place the main gift […]
I glued this template to the interior of a cereal box to make them more sturdy but that part is optional. You can customize any way you’d like. I was just testing out different styles with ribbon, glitter, and shelf liner. They can be used to decorate whatever you’d like. Use them as table seating […]
To ensure that everyone gets a piece of all three varieties (mint, caramel, strawberry) they’ll go into pretty bags for each baby shower attendee. Working with such short ribbon was a task but I managed to make a fairly nice bow. The leftover candy can go into a dish of some sort. If you don’t […]
Frosting is very easy. Just cover the top of cupcake, add eyes, and stick in a pacifier. It’s already cute like that but I decided to add a mustache. If your decorating cupcakes for a baby girl shower you can make the mustache pink or don’t include a mustache at all. Perhaps, add a pink […]
This is a nice little registry for baby shower guests to sign. As the pregnant guest of honor unwraps her presents, designate someone to write down each item along with the name of the gift-giver. This booklet will come in handy later so that the parents-to-be can send out thank you cards or include a […]
Count out pieces of candy and stick them inside a clean baby bottle. Make sure you keep a record of the answer. At the baby shower have guests pass the bottle around, write down their name and guess on a piece of paper. The person who guesses correctly or closest to the actual amount is […]
To make this duck I used a template and then cut up fuzzy yellow pom poms and glued those pieces on. To make it a little more sturdy and stand upright even better I recommend gluing it on a cereal box, prior to cutting it out. If you rather keep things simple just print out […]
Similar to the other lotto game, this should be quick and easy to play. If I’m not mistaken the non-winning tickets have a baby rattle, teddy bear, diaper pin, rubber ducky, and other miscellaneous items that you wouldn’t normally find inside a baby’s bottle. The lucky guest that scratches and reveals milk (the correct answer) […]
There’s a bit of pressure because I’ll be the host of my sister’s baby shower and I just want everyone who attends to have a good time. I seriously don’t want any of the guests to be sitting around looking at their cell phones or watches while silently thinking, ‘when is this thing over?’ I’ll […]
A seemingly simple game that we plan on playing at my sister’s baby shower. Here is the front and back of the cards. The pack contains 24 but the winning card is wrapped in plastic. I’m not going to rig the game or anything but it’s good to know. Of course I’ll remove […]
Yup, even mommies-to-be can be princesses. I want my sister to wear this at her baby shower but I’m crossing my fingers that it doesn’t hurt her head. She’s a good sport so I know she’ll put it on to take a few pictures, showing off her happy baby belly, if nothing else. So excited […]
For this baby shower game have each woman attending pull the yarn to the size they believe would fit around the Mommy-to-Be’s tummy. After everyone cuts their string, compare the results to her actual tummy. Give a prize to the woman who comes the closest. This game is a baby shower favorite. Equipment Needed: String or […]
A dose of my life.
