Baby Shower Bonanza!

We welcomed November to a baby shower for our friend!  Believe it or not, she planned her own baby shower, but if you knew her, you would understand.  She is the definition of a true planner!  She rented a room upstairs at a pizzeria which also included a bar and a couple of flat screens for the Bulls game.  Nowadays, most baby showers are co-ed, and sometimes children are invited too!  It's a time where friends and family come together to catch up, and people have a hard time getting a sitter as well.  With all of that in mind, trying to keep the festivities joyfully for the length of time you have the space can be a tricky thing.  That's where the games come in...
First up, trying to figure out what type of baby food it is.  There are so many variations of baby food out there!  Every guest where to check-in and try to guess what they were looking at.  NO TASTING ALLOWED!!!
You can't have a baby shower without trying to guess the size of her baby bump!  This game is infamous, and a fun way of getting a prize to whoever gets the closest estimate.  Remember to bring extra yarn or ribbon!
To spice things up, we had a couples race where one sits on a chair and the other stands in front of them blindfolded.  Once the clock starts ticking, the one standing has to feed the one sitting baby food and whoever finishes first wins.  NO HELPING!!  And bring extra bibs so there's no food falling all over the place...
I was still in love with my headpiece from Claire's so I wore that with a tunic and black skinny pants.  The headpiece looks better with my hair curly and I got lots of compliments on it.  I like funky accessories to spice up a look!
We had a good time at the shower and even continued at the bar next door for some dancing and fun.  One of our good friends is having her baby shower coming up this Memorial Weekend, so I'm excited about that too.  I have the responsibility of thinking up games to play at this shower, so I'll share with you what I came up with.  Planning a party is hard work!
