I've been busy hanging out with friends, catching up with them, and throwing a baby shower.
We had lots of fun activities for the party goers. If you're in need of some ideas, here's what we did:
1. Potty Humor - newborn diapers and a marker for people to leave funny sayings on the diapers - "Leave a message for Mom and Dad to help get them through those 3am diaper changes." (Example - "This one's for you Dad!" or "I love you!")
2. Recommend Baby Names - just a piece of paper and a pen for people to share their ideas.
3. Baby Trivia - I found a questionnaire (20 questions) online about babies/pregnancy and the person with the most right won a prize.
4. Bottle Count - Guess how many M&M's (or other candy) are in the bottle. We had 5 bottles with varying numbers of candies. Mom and Dad got to keep the bottles and the winner got to keep the candy (and choose a prize).
5. Baby Advice - Note cards and a pens - a chance for party goers to share their advice with the new Mom and Dad.
6. Baby Wishes - Scrapbook paper and pens - party goers can leave wishes for the baby to be placed in their baby book.
