I don't think my sister has planned many of the details yet as she is a fly by the seat of her pants type. She did say she wants to have a Grease (the movie) theme and do either Pink ladies for a girl or T-Birds for a boy. It wouldn't surprise me if it was just normal baby shower stuff though because she is a single mom with 3 kids and works full time as a nurse so I doubt she will take the time to really plan out the theme ahead of time, but she may surprise me.

My mom and grandmas are throwing my shower. So far this is what I know is going on:

theme (besdies the obvious...baby!): pink and yellow owl theme

color scheme: pink and yellow

centerpieces: I guess my grandma wants to use some of the stuff she's bought so far as centerpieces lol.

favors: I am making chocolate covered pretzels into owls and putting like 5 in pink and yellow cellophane bags with a thank you attached

prizes: No idea.

cake: Pink and Yellow frosted cupcakes

games: My mom is a fan of the dirty diaper game w/candy bars I guess, not sure what else she has planned. I'm not really a game person and i've told her this, so I'll be surprised I guess.

missesBAD:

theme (besdies the obvious...baby!): Air planes

color scheme: Blue, red, and green I think..

centerpieces: Not sure..I haven't been told very much

favors: I am also not sure about those..but knowing my hosts there wont be any even though I kind of think there should be..but oh well!

prizes: I think candy, but that was just mentioned once.

cake: No clue what it's going to look like, but I don't like chocolate cake very much so I assume it will be white cake and something to do with airplanes.

games: We are decorating onesies and bibs and "can't say baby"

Oatoa · September 2011

We're having a co-ed Baby Party (Jack and Jill Shower) instead of a regular shower so there won't be a colorscheme/centerpieces/favors/games/prizes. We're having some of my favorite finger foods, a keg of beer and a home made pound cake with butter cream icing.

I can't wait and am so excited!

Annya26 · September 2011

Not 100% on all of the details, but here's what I know:

theme (besdies the obvious...baby!): Jungle theme

color scheme: not sure, but I know that there will be lots of turquoise

centerpieces: Not sure

favors: We are making cookies with cute designs on them and then tying them up in pretty little bags with ribbon.

prizes: A variety of things from gift cards, to bath products, to keepsake journals/photo albums

cake: No idea what it will look like, but I do know it will be pretty awesome since my sister is a pro cake designer. She is doing a cake, and cupcakes and I do know that the flavours will be coconut (my fav!) and chocolate.

games: Decorate the diapers, I think we are having a photobooth and going to have everyone put a pillow under there shirt and pretend its a bump, unsure of the rest since my family is planning it.

lavieboheme73 · September 2011

My mom and sister and I will be throwing the shower for my daughter.

theme (besdies the obvious...baby!): Milk and cookies

color scheme: shades of purple and white

centerpieces: We're making them edible arrangements with animal crackers and 5 kinds of cookie/sweets themed dips: snickerdoodle, s'mores, chocolate chip, double chocolate fudge, and cake batter

favors: each guest will get a decorated bag to fill with their choice of the cookies on the cookie bar

prizes: we haven't quite gotten this far yet. Probably gift cards.

cake: since we're having so many sweets already, we decided to skip the cake and make a diaper cake the centerpiece where the cake would usually go.

games: Name That (Baby) Tune: My daughter is really into music, so this fits. We'll play small bits of songs with the word "baby" in the title ("Santa Baby", "Baby Love", etc.) and the guests will try to guess what song is playing.

Celebrity Baby Match: Each guest will get a list of celebrity baby first names (like Suri, Shiloh, Apple, etc.) that they will have to match to their celebrity parent.

These are the invitations I designed (ETA that the purple heart and rounded square are not weird design elements, they're covering private info):

ronnie day · September 2011

This is my info from my DD's shower, we won't be having one for this one..

theme : Monkeys

color scheme: there really wasn't one

centerpieces: We didn't have any

favors: we went out and bought Jiffy cranberry bread mixes, took the package out of the box and put them in pink bags. Then we put a label on the bag that said "there is a monkey in the oven" with the recipe on it. It had the same design as the invites

prizes: I think we had gift cards to starbucks

cake: It was a sheet cake from Costco, but we had a personalized cake topper made through this lady on Ebay that had also done the personalized one for my wedding

games: Ummmm...Ours was co-ed so we had a game for the guys to see how fast they could drink beer from bottles, we did a memory game where we showed everyone a basket of baby items but as a twist they had to remember details of what I was wearing, and I can't remember anything else we did
