Baby showers - was yours big or little?

Question

how many people did you invite? how many came? what did you have/ do?

Im not planning on having a big one, just about 19 people I have on my invitation list so far....

Answer 1

I had a small one and then I had a big one, OMG was the big one fun I invite everyone I had about 40-45 people, I got tons of stuff, but got to share my happiness with everyone, we played games, it was the best me and husband going to start trying at the end of the year, so Yes I will have a big baby shower ,

Answer 2

My sisters threw mine for me. We had about 50 people show. It was somewhat large, but I still had time to get around to everyone and what not.

They had finger foods and cake, and a few games put together..

My mom had put a book together, "motherly advice" she passed it around and everyone put a personalized note inside with some type of advice.

We had everyone cut a piece of ribbon as big as they thought I was around, closest got a prize.

We had jars of baby food with the labels covered and everyone had to guess what kind it was.

One of my sisters made mini diapers with napkins and "baby p**p" inside, you had to guess what was in baby's p**p (I don't know where they got that one)

There was a big plastic bottle with mnms in it, had to guess how many. (good for little ones)

Everyone who brought a bag of diapers aside from their gift got a raffle ticket for a raffle later.

And upon arriving everyone got one clothes pin. If you say baby, the first person to catch you gets your pin, the person with the most at the end gets a prize.

Answer 3

Games are definately ice breakers and everyone loves playing them. You can get some great ideas over the internet. I had a med sized one and everyone had a blast.

Answer 7

unfortunately, I live two states away from all my friends and family and my husband's deployed, so I'm doing this on my own and won't be having a baby shower.  But 19 people is a nice small size for a shower--invite all the people you love and know will appreciate coming!  I didn't realize you were supposed to give your own baby showers, actually.  Isn't your best friend or church group or coworkers supposed to plan the baby shower for the mom-to-be just like a bridal shower?
