Unprepared
So it just dawned on me that I’m throwing a baby shower in a little over a week and other than sending out invitations, I have done absolutely nothing. Not one thing. Haven’t given it a thought.
I have my standards for showers - the same yummy punch I always make (and no, the recipe does not include sherbet in any flavor thankyouverymuch) and petit fours from Stein’s bakery - but other than that, nothing. I have to figure out decorations, games (because the guest of honor says her family would do better with games than to sit around and criticize her life choices, and I can see that so games there will be), favors, paper goods, a gift….. so yeah, everything.
Normally I go way overboard in the number of different foods I make for parties, so I’m trying to tone it down. Jake doesn’t want to eat left over shower food for three days. But I think in trying to reign myself in, I’m stifling my creativity.
So tomorrow, I must devote my day to shower planning. At least I have a new dining room table to serve it all on. Whatever it is I serve.

Baby shower, what fun! I attended one back in January … wow, what a lot of work!
They had some fun games though. The toilet paper as measuring tape to guess how big the mommy is. Baby food tasting to guess the type of food. It was a lot of fun.
good luck with the party, I’m sure it will be a blast!
Fun! I love shower planning. I’m doing the games for my sister-in-law’s baby shower in May.
I’m a dork. I get into the games…I’m sure your shower will be a smashing success!
