Bye Bye Baby Party?

Question

I work at a coffee shop. This week our manager revealed both that she's pregnant and that she will be moving and is done in two weeks. We want to throw her a surprise party that celebrates both announcements. We've reserved our local community room but need ideas on activities and such, any help would be appreciated! And our theme is Bye Bye Baby. Thanks!

Answer 1

get many baby items like toys, pram, baby bed, diapers, powder etc and decorate the place with it and blindfold her to come in and 'SURPRISE!'

Answer 3

you could play that song at the celebration. "Bye, Bye, Baby" by bay City Rollers. Also, there is a song "Bye, Bye, Baby" by Frank Sinatra. And another one by the band Ok Go. Good Luck! :)

Answer 4

Answer 5

I think you should show the movie "Bye Bye Birdie", and decorate with little baby footprints in pink and blue walking toward the exit.

Answer 6

That's so sweet that you are all doing that for her!

You can decorate in the colors of pink, blue, yellow, and green, being you don't know the s*x of the baby, or you can just do whatever her favorites colors are.  You can get some balloons and cluster them in areas of the room and have streamers in the same colors hanging around the room.

For food, do what she likes, or have what is usually the norm, ziti or some kind of pasta, chicken, a veggie, a beef dish, a green salad, potatos, and rolls.  You can all do one dish each and bring it or have it catered.  You can make the cake the only dessert and make it one big sheet cake, or a tiered cake.

I would also invite her husband and any other children that she has.  It will be nice for her to have her family there and share in this happy occasion.  I'm sure there has to be a home phone number for her somewhere at work in a file, maybe someone can call while she's at work with you all.

For activities, I would just go with it and have fun!  You can play games like the pass the coffee!  Play it like hot potato, but do it with a coffee cup and say it's hot coffee.

You can do the baby shower game where everyone wears a safety pin and if they say the word "baby", the person that hears them say it, removes their pin and gets to wear it, and the person that has the most pins on at the end of the night, wins.

You can also get her a diaper cake.  They sell them online, they are tiered cakes made of diapers, receiving blankets, baby socks, etc.  It would be really cute to have that next to her real cake.

If she's been working at the coffee shop for a while, you can come up with some funny quotes that have been said through the years that you remember or others remember and play, who said it.  Read the qoute to her and see if she can remember who said it.  If a girl said, have a guy read it and vice versa.

If there's going to be people there that have left the shop and they are returning for the party, play a sort of "this is your life" with her.  You can remind her of the person saying he or she worked with you however long ago and remind her of whatever traits the person has, and why the left, and then you can see, but they have returned today to wish you well, and then have them walk out and give her a hug. Don't let her see the person before then.

You can also play a kind of guess the customer game.  You can say the name of the drink and have everyone guess who orders it if you have regulars that come in and order the same thing over and over.  You'll have to pay close attention to them though in the upcoming weeks and even write down what they're ordering to remember.  Even if you only remember by looks, you can play it with everyone there, whoever gets the most right, wins.

I hope some of these ideas help and that you have a great party!
