I didn't even think about driving... And just looked and my work schedule that day won't allow for it. Womp womp. You're not in Westchester, are you?! LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-2129154 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 09:48:09 +0000 Spinny 2129154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I bought my ticket last night with an hour to spare! And surprise, surprise, dh actually said he would want to go. Bonus, he's going to drive us in.....no schlepping in on the train! I'm so excited to go now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-2128407 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 15:02:16 +0000 LindsayInNY 2128407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Spinny: I would definitely bring my sister if she lived in the area! Free food and drinks - sign me up! ;) I did notice that refunds are available until 5 days prior, just in case something comes up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-2128324 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 14:20:14 +0000 Spinny 2128324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loopedd: @LindsayInNY: To be honest I haven't even asked him if he'd like to go, but I just don't see it. I'll be 32 weeks so I definitely will need some help carrying everything, and I think my sister will definitely enjoy it, even as a single gal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-2128244 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 13:47:31 +0000 LindsayInNY 2128244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Spinny: I am! Surprisingly he was game with wanting to join. Although I'm sure he's going to be antsy at it and not want to stick around and see/do everything. But I'll also be 36 weeks pregnant so who knows if I'll want to either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-2128224 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 13:38:54 +0000 loopedd 2128224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Spinny: Hi! Just wanted to comment that my DH was out of town and couldn't come when I went, so I brought a girlfriend. Her help was invaluable for carrying things, especially when you leave with a giant gift bag! She's not preggo but she actually had a really good time :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-2128215 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 13:33:13 +0000 Spinny 2128215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Are you bringing your dh? I can't see mine wanting to come with me, but I don't want to go alone. Maybe I'll bring my sister. Didn't realize discount pricing ends tonight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-2128138 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 12:35:11 +0000 LindsayInNY 2128138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tickets were bought for NYC's event on May 28! Anyone else going to be there?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-2110227 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:23:47 +0000 LindsayInNY 2110227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loopedd: Awww, what a peanut!! I registered for the Ergo but would definitely use a free one over that (despite not being my specially picked pattern/print, LOL!). DH was on board last time so hopefully he's still willing to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-2110213 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:17:16 +0000 loopedd 2110213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: oh I'm so glad you're getting the chance to go! I haven't - at 5 weeks, LO is barely 8lbs so I've been wearing him in the Boba wrap when I need my hands free. But both DH and I have tried the Beco and it seems comfy - it will definitely be our go-to when LO's a little bigger and we leave the house more (plus DH refuses to try the wrap!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-2110177 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:05:04 +0000 LindsayInNY 2110177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loopedd: Side note, have you used the carrier yet? It's the freebie for this year too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-2110174 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:04:27 +0000 LindsayInNY 2110174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just saw - this spring's event will be on May 28.

I think they need to have shopping carts available so you can put this stuff somewhere! I'm in Seattle and I wanna go! Ha! I'm not even pregnant... :silly:</p> <p>ETA: Haha. Yeah, it was yesterday. I want to go to the next one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-1943214 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 14:12:00 +0000 LindsayInNY 1943214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loopedd: Wow, that's some serious swag!! I told DH and he's totally on board for next time. I'm praying they have a spring one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-1942685 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 10:36:46 +0000 KatieBklyn 1942685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loopedd: That's awesome! I was there, too, and I was really impressed with the gift bag. I'm super jealous of your good luck with the raffles and the bingo prize! :) I wound up with a Baby Bullet system for the bingo card. It was totally worth it anyway - and I love the Beco carrier we got with the Super Pass. (And the $30 Uber credit for the ride home!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-1942591 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:52:08 +0000 snowjewelz 1942591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loopedd: Wooooah~ That is awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-1942433 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 08:13:49 +0000 loopedd 1942433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aria: There was definitely some luck involved!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-1942415 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 08:01:03 +0000 edelweiss 1942415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>holy moly! AND you got a carrier?? sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-1942294 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 02:47:51 +0000 sunny 1942294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! What an amazing goodie bag! And you won some great prizes too! I saw the Nuna at Nordstrom and it looks super cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-1942268 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 01:08:01 +0000 Kimberlybee 1942268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loopedd: How fun! That's such an awesome goody stash. What a great party!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-1942264 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 00:59:18 +0000 Aria 1942264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loopedd: You got really lucky! I didn't win anything at the raffles although maybe I'll get something later. My Bingo prize was a skip hop diaper bag, so between that and the carrier alone it covered the price of the ticket. My husband was sad we didn't get something bigger though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-1942258 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 00:47:20 +0000 birdofafeather 1942258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loopedd: Wow! That's a lot of loot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-1942248 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 00:27:30 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1942248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loopedd: Wow thats amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-1942239 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 00:17:24 +0000 loopedd 1942239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Okay you have to go. I'm attaching a pic of the contents of the gift bag and telling you all the ways you can justify the price :grin: </p> <p>I got a Couples Super Pass that totaled around $195 and included a $130 Beco Gemini carrier in addition to the gift bag filled with samples, bottles, onesies, diapers, bibs, formula, swaddle blankets, body lotions, nursing pads, you name it. The ticket also gets you a Bingo card, which gets you a random prize (of like 5 things) when you complete it. My prize was a Nuva Sena travel cot (<a href="http://www.giggle.com/nuna-sena-travel-cot/SEN56F.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.giggle.com/nuna-sena-travel-cot/SEN56F.html</a>). </p> <p>Then you enter raffles and get more samples and giveaways at every vendor booth -- there are dozens and dozens.</p> <p>I won this by spinning a prize wheel at the Tommee Tippee booth:</p> <p><a href="http://www.toysrus.com/buy/feeding/tommee-tippee-closer-to-nature-perfect-prep-machine-522280-20173186" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/buy/feeding/tommee-tippee-closer-to-nature-perfect-prep-machine-522280-20173186</a></p> <p>And I won this in a raffle at the Babies R Us booth:</p> <p><a href="http://www.toysrus.com/buy/baby-video-monitors/safety-1st-techtouch-digital-color-video-monitor-mo140-32647466" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/buy/baby-video-monitors/safety-1st-techtouch-digital-color-video-monitor-mo140-32647466</a></p> <p>Even with a $50 Uber ride back to NJ, it was totally worth it. I also thought it was well-organized and not overcrowded, and they had good food too! I mean, you can't not feed hundreds of pregnant women from 6-9pm… so that was smart of them! I'm sure I'm on 5000 mailing lists now, but that seems to come with the territory :happy: If I win any more raffles I will let you know! </p> [attach=4207/14/neypd2.600x450.IMG_5518.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-1920994 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 11:41:46 +0000 LindsayInNY 1920994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loopedd: Yes please!! I'm probably going to aim to drag DH to the spring one... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-1920533 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 08:08:16 +0000 loopedd 1920533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Can't blame you there! I bought a couples ticket just to have someone carry stuff for me. It sounds like a lot even at 20-something weeks!</p> <p>@Aria: We'll have to meet up in any case :happy: </p> <p>@LindsayInNY: Seriously, people will say "It's so worth it" or "I got more than the price of the ticket" but never exactly what. I promise an itemized list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-1920096 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 19:41:51 +0000 snowjewelz 1920096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw that sounds fun but I am NOT in the mood to trek into the city 34 weeks pregnant! Whoever goes and meet up, pls send pics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-1920083 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 19:29:51 +0000 Aria 1920083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought the couple super pass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-1920050 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 19:01:11 +0000 LindsayInNY 1920050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aria: What ticket did you buy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-biggest-baby-shower#post-1920046 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 18:58:53 +0000 Aria 1920046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loopedd: Yup! I'll be there! I hope there are others who are coming too! </p>
