Baby’s shower idea

Anjalifit

hi everyone - hope everyone’s feeling well. I am due on May 9 and my baby shower discussions have started! We usually do it in the 7th month. I was hoping to get some ideas! We travel a lot so I’m thinking to have a travel themed party - everything I’m seeing online is vintage or planes. Was hoping to get help with ideas- what other aspects of travel/ vacation can I incorporate and how?  Thanks in advance!

You could have someone dressed like a tsa agent patting down your guests.
There is also an entire board devoted to baby showers where this would be better received.

I think it would be more fun to make select guests show up, and not be allowed to come in based on where they’re from. If we’re featuring travel, we might as well include the ban, right?

Oh good idea!!! Yeah, "randomly select" some guests to have to leave their gift and then actually leave. 
You could also charge $9 for a beer and then have a fee for anyone who has a bag or purse that's too large for your liking.

What about arranging the chairs so that your knees are touching the back of them except for the people who brought the most expensive gifts? They get more leg room. Then not allow anyone to use their devices.

@Poppy0419, girl yes.
And the hostess needs to do a speech at the beginning that includes the no device rule, the expected time frame of the party, and also point out where the exits in the venue are in case of an emergency.

And obviously, serve bagged peanuts.

In all seriousness, based on the other thread you started, i can assume you arent hosting this shower. Go on pinterest, share a few photos/ideas with the hosts and then take a step back. Maybe this is just my opinion, but you shouldnt be too involved in the decision making/planning... let them run with your theme and do what they want.

In all seriousness, we need to start our own party planning business.

Omg I’ve been away from Bump all day and I came back to this. I love you all so much.

This made my whole day.

Lol thanks guys! See though all these ideas point towards a flying  themed party- that’s the hard part - we don’t want to do everything flying perspective. How do I incorporate the places we have been?

Anjalifit

Also apologies for duplicating this question on the baby shower thread! Still learning how to use the app! Appreciate the patience. 

kpc914

@Anjalifit You actually duplicated the question in your own thread, not the baby shower thread. Your question belongs on the thread that I have linked here. 

Also, please introduce yourself in the intro thread and read the ***read this first*** thread. This community doesn't take well to people who have not participated coming in and asking questions as if we are google/pinterest.
