There were showers of Blessings for mommy and baby as the much anticipated baby shower came and went. My sweet friend was able to enjoy her special day with family and friends. I am already missing her since she could only stay for a few days.
The games were a blast and especially the one where we made the mommy-to-be's baby from magazine pictures. The ladies were having fun swapping magazines and trying to figure out if they thought the baby would look most like mommy or daddy.
For a two hour baby shower, it was perfect to use the 5 games that we did. There was time to visit and interact and the name blessing keepsake gift (game) was another favorite. My friend's mother made the cutest cards with Noah written on them with the cutest of graphics and the ladies wrote out words to go with his name as a keepsake and blessing.
They want to frame these cards and hang them in the nursery and I think they will be so adorable. The bonus to this game is that it is also a great way to speak blessing over the little baby boy. Noah got plenty of sweet sayings for his name, like nice, obedient, adorable, honorable/humble...
We gave three cards to each table of about 4-5 ladies and they worked together to get the cards decorated. They used colored pens and pencils for this project. I hope you can use some of these ideas for a future baby shower. They really kept the ladies entertained and engaged and talking with each other. During the games the Mommy-to-be was able to walk around and visit and give pointers to the guests too. Ultimately, it is up to the mommy to pick the favorite and that she did.
Her cake was handmade and amazing, with her 7 month pregnancy picture on it with a polka dot back ground in blue and brown (colors of the nursery). As for gifts, there were many and the handmade items were amazing and got a lot of attention, as well as the personalized baby gifts and other goodies.
If anyone likes the handmade Noah blanket, I will be happy to customize one for your special baby. I already have orders coming in from friends and family. I will have new fabrics posted soon and prices too. If you want to order one, just post in comments or contact me and I can send more info.
Overall, it was a joyous and blessed day!
