And the onesie and bib decorating. Also everyone filled out these coupns with services they would do for me/us, such as babysitting, cooking a meal, or a 15-minute shoulder massage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-best-element-of-your-baby-shower#post-201400 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 15:59:09 +0000 heffalump 201400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved having DH there because it was coed, the food, and the creative decor. My SIL made roses and cupcakes out of socks and onesies, and she also made a cute banner with her name that hangs in her nursery now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-best-element-of-your-baby-shower#post-201398 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 15:53:18 +0000 shortcake 201398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone brought their favorite book and wrote in it instead of a card. We have a great book collection now and it was so much fun to see everyone favorite children's book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-best-element-of-your-baby-shower#post-201392 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 15:48:51 +0000 GrapeCrush 201392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>everyone decorated onesies. i love putting them on him and seeing who decorated it...and as awful as it may sound, it's nice having some that i don't mind if he gets formula/spit up all over... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-best-element-of-your-baby-shower#post-201230 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 12:59:10 +0000 banana 201230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually remember the games the most cause they're usually pretty fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-best-element-of-your-baby-shower#post-201166 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 12:07:36 +0000 SusieQ 201166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my shower my sister had guests fill out these "Wishes for Baby" cards (<a href="http://images.teamsugar.com/static/imgs/Lil_HeirloomShower_Wishes_BluePink.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://images.teamsugar.com/static/imgs/Lil_HeirloomShower_Wishes_BluePink.pdf</a>) then gathered them all up for me at the end of the shower. </p> <p>I LOVED reading them and they are so going in the baby's book. Some were funny, some were sweet, and some made me cry. It was so beautiful to see how much our baby is already loved. I think that it helped a lot that there were specific prompts and not just "say something to the baby." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-best-element-of-your-baby-shower#post-200939 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 10:01:29 +0000 Mrs. Blue 200939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great ideas!!

I loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-best-element-of-your-baby-shower#post-200895 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 09:26:49 +0000 mediagirl 200895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Making cute onesies, burp cloths and bibs.
