Recipe(tried): baby shower ideas...

I love to throw baby showers, I even have a file with just baby shower ideas. I know you can carve a watermelon to look like a baby carriage, if you want the instructions I can find them for you. One game that's pretty fun is to buy little plastic babies - you can get them at party supply stores, you then freeze them into ice molds and give one to everyone in their punch, whoever is the first to have their " water break" and the baby is born, wins. All forms of premature labor are exceptable, sucking on the ice cube, etc. There's also a really cute thing to do with the presents. There's an old myth that the person to give the seventh present at the shower, is the next one to have a baby. So, what you do is have the mom the be choose which presents she wants to open and put them in order, when she gets to the seventh one, you give that person who gave her the gift a necklace - pieces of blue and pink ribbon with a pacifier on it. The shower we did this at, the grandma got it and everyone had a good laugh. A cute party favor is to take diaper pins, the large ones, and string lifesavors on them and at the corner tie pink and blue ribbon. These are just some ideas, if you need more I can get them for you. Good Luck.
