Baby showers.
Sometimes, you just want something simple. And grown-up.
I dislike decorating. I dislike games. I dislike crafts. I am not good at it and end up with the cheap Dollar Tree decor. Bleh. Games...those are for kids. Not a 36 yr. old woman.
Here is a simple idea for a simple baby shower...
Invite the ladies to a restaurant. We like to choose Olive Garden...what lady doesn't love Olive Garden?
Everyone pays for their meal. The hostess pays for the guest of honor's meal. The hostess provides a cake.
Gifts are brought as normal. I have always enjoyed the tradition of purchasing a children's book instead of a baby shower card for the mom.
You can have games if you like. Totally not necessary but I can't be a total bah humbug! :) If you decide on games or door prizes...go with gift cards. Your guests will adore you.
This is a simple and enjoyable time to spoil the mom - grown-up fashion. :) No pink and blue decorations, no baby jar food tasting, no awkwardness.
Just good food and good talk. And the waitress does the cleaning up and dishes. ;) Amen sisters.
