Baby Shower Prizes

Thank you everyone who helped me come up with different activities for the baby shower. The big day is today and I am so excited and I still a gazillion things to get together and I am hoping in my heart that my friend is surprised and really happy about it all.  I am going to make guacamole and churros because those are two of the favorite things she likes to snack on lately....hope she is the craving for them.

Since you all helped me so much, I have some little somethings to share..since you can't come to the baby shower and be a part of the fun, I have decided to share some party favors--no they are not baby related, but knitty related.

1 person will get a $10 Starbucks gift card that I got in the mail for participating in a survey. I would use it but I don't drink coffee, so it is up for grabs.

2 people will get a set of stitch markers.

Activities that I have chosen for today's fun:

• Coloring Onesies. I picked up 30 onesies and some fabric markers and we are going to make some original little shirts for the baby.
• Binkie Necklaces: Little binkies hanging from ribbon and everyone will get one and the person that say the word "cute" loses their necklace to the first person that catches her saying the word. The one with the most necklaces at the end of the night wins.
• My water broke: put water in a plastic cup, place the baby and freeze it. Everyone gets a cup when they get to the party. The cup that thaws faster wins. I am planning to put some blue food coloring in the water.
• Everyone gets 3 papers and writes a boy name on each to give to Mommy.
• Everyone gets a diaper and a piece of paper and writes something inspirational for Mom. Mom gets all the diapers to use when baby comes.

We are an active bunch so I hope that the above are activies that we can do while chatting and visiting with each other.

All you have to do to win any of the above 3 prizes is leave a comment in today's post. Nothing specific, just let me know you are out there reading. I will post the 3 winners on Wednesday--winners will be chosen randomly. Again, thank you for helping me out with the baby shower. I am so happy about it and I hope everyone has fun...especially the Mommy to be :).

Wow, sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun! I love the idea of coloring onesies!

[Laura]

Those are great ideas, especially the one about decorating baby clothes!

Have fun!

[sprite]

These sound like much better activities than the stupid ones I've witnessed at showers in the past. Way to be creative!

[Nadine B.]

Sounds like it is going to be a wonderful baby shower. I like the binkie variation of the clothespin game. I would do so bad at that game. I think my car is cute, anything mini sized is cute. I can just imagine me at a baby shower. I think baby shoes and socks are actually the cutest things ever. I'd loose that binky before I even got it around my neck. :o)

[Valerie]

The onesie idea rocks! The others are cute, too, but the onesie one is my favourite. I wish I'd had that at a baby shower when I was expecting. :)

[Danielle]

I never thought about putting food coloring in with the frozen babies. I like the twist on my idea! I will have to remember that.

[Jenny]

Sounds like a fun baby shower. I like the idea of coloring the onesies too. Have a great time and don't work too hard ;-)

[Louise Z]

It's been a long time since I have been to a baby shower...yours sounds like alot of fun, even for us older ladies. Love your ideas for games.

[Cindy in Oregon]

I'm way past the demographic for friends having baby showers. Sounds like the games have been updated a bit since "my day" and a couple new things have been added. Hope you all have fun!

Right now, coffee sounds very, very good. :)

[Bethany]

So glad you picked the "Cute" idea! Love the binky necklace variation...that's so CUTE~!
I didn't last five minutes at my own shower with that game!
Hope you all have a fantabulous time :D

[Jeannie]

Looks like you have "baby shower central" under control. Have a great time!

Huggz!

[alwen]

Oh, I like the Binkie Necklace variation!

[Carmen]

Your shower sounds like lots of fun. The games have really changed since the last time I attended a baby shower.

[Scoutj]

Oh I hope it's tons of fun! I'm glad you're doing the onesie activity!
