Thank you to everyone for some really great ideas. Just wanted to post a link to the photos, in case anyone wants to see.
It went really well! We just did Baby Shower Bingo, during the gift opening. The prize went quickly though, so maybe next time around, I'd offer a prize for first to Bingo, like tenth with Bingo, and maybe the person farthest from Bingo at the end?
The Harley Davidson diaper cake was the big winner, everyone loved it.
Re: Baby Shower Summary!
Wow I love it! You looked so happy and beautiful. And the decor and food was great!!
Did you have it at someone's home? Congrats!
I love your thumbprint tree as a way to see who was there instead of the traditional guestbook.
The cake looked great.The gatorbread was interesting. Congrats on hosting a great shower.
Thank you! Actually it was held at the conference room at my sister's zoo (she manages the animal care department) called Gatorland (hence all the gator stuff).
And I only gave the one prize for the first person to Bingo. After it was gone, there was definitely some lost interest, and jokes made about being the last person to bingo. So I was thinking it would be nice to have more prizes next time around.
People tend to bingo really quickly if they fill in their own cards. I've gone to some showers that allowed multiple bingos. They handed out scratch off lottery tickets. lol
You had some great ideas.
