Baby Shower

My friend is having a baby and I get to throw her a shower. I'm so excited...but I realized today, now that its just 15 days away, that I have no idea what I'm doing! The date and time wasn't finalized until this week, so I didn't know what kind of food to plan for. We are having it at 6:30 in the evening, so I think something dinner related would be appropriate. I can't decide if I should go all out, or just provide a light dinner and some desserts. I have been searching far and wide for some really fun shower games, but have come up empty handed. I did finally figure out what kind of invites I was going to make and I finished some today.

They ended up different than expected, but they are pretty good especially considering how NOT crafty I am! I am a little nervous about the postage. I think ribbons always end up costing more, but they are much cuter with them on, so they will stay. :)

I know you all have been to some awesome baby showers, so I would LOVE your input!

love the invite! I have some games made up I have a matching game that you use that you match and get a candy bar that goes with it like breast feeding is milky way! also a gift bingo where people write what they think that the mom is going to get and then cross off the gift as its opened and when they get bingo they get the prize! You are welcome to either of them!
I also have a book full of ideas if you are coming up early enough to read it!
