But I do remember my mom bought little hats and matching booties and had them setting on the tables. It was so cute! </p> <p>DD's shower is going to be a butterfly theme :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-baby-shower#post-31721 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 21:15:16 +0000 sulli301 31721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 3 showers, but only 2 of them were themed. The first was thrown by a friend &amp; it was a tea party which I absolutely loved. She made little favors with honey &amp; tea bags, had a tea box, decorated with antique teapots &amp; lace...it was beautiful! The second was thrown by my work &amp; it was lemon themed, yes lemon! I craved SUPER sour, lemon juice straight sour, for about a week during my pregnancy &amp; it cracked them up so much they made it into my theme! They had lemon desserts, lemon balloons, yellow table cloths, lemon centerpieces...it was pretty funny &amp; actually turned out to be very cute :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-baby-shower#post-31682 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 20:36:14 +0000 heffalump 31682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My shower wasn't very traditional. I wanted it to be coed so we were worried about the boys enjoying themselves too. We had it at a minor league baseball stadium in the suite. But since we have a baby girl and I love pink so much, my mom, SIL, and sister decorated the whole place with pink and "It's a girl" stuff. They had some really cute details, like a banner of her name that I took home and put in her nursery, roses made out of baby socks (her name is Rose), and roses as favors for the girls and chocolate covered pretzels to make the boys happy. </p> <p>My hubby was able to throw the first pitch, which was really nice because then he got to be center of attention for a little while instead of just me and my bump. We didn't do games, just had the baseball game for entertainment, mingled, and opened gifts.</p> <p>It was awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-baby-shower#post-31620 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 19:07:18 +0000 MsMamaBear 31620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was rubber duckies because I was Team Green. I loved it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-baby-shower#post-31591 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 17:51:38 +0000 daniellemybelle 31591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it bad that I worry my shower won't be as awesome as I want it to me? I loved my bridal shower but it was simple. I want a fancy baby shower, darn it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-baby-shower#post-30941 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:57:02 +0000 L2sweetpea 30941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved my shower. My SiL put a lot of time into planning it. We had a jungle theme to match our nursery. They even got a cake with animals that matched our bedding set. One of the favorite things I remember is one of the games we played. I'm not normally a game lover, but I had never seen this one, and it was fun. It was baby themed questions with answers that were candy bars, and whoever got it right got the candy bar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-baby-shower#post-30891 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:35:04 +0000 Mrs. D 30891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had mine yet, it'll be in January so the relatives can hit up the after Christmas sales.</p> <p>I kinda hope for lots of pink decorations and food! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-baby-shower#post-30889 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:34:11 +0000 chopsuey 30889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: you definitely should! it made me cry a lot and miss them, but it made me happy too. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-baby-shower#post-30883 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:31:19 +0000 photojane 30883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@enjollah: exciting! enjoy it! :)</p> <p>@chopsuey119: i love cake pops... mmmm. that video idea is awesome. i need to remember that for my future-sil whose family lives pretty far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-baby-shower#post-30872 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:26:01 +0000 chopsuey 30872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: I loved how everyone put so much time and effort into setting it up for me. I was overwhelmed with gratitude. SIL, family and friends prepared all the food and made things from scratch (cake pops, cupcakes, dips, etc), and SIL did all the decorating.<br /> BIL and SIL also contacted my friends and family members from CA and had them record video messages to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-baby-shower#post-30868 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:22:33 +0000 enjollah 30868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine's tomorrow and I can't wait to celebrate with friends =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-baby-shower#post-30858 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:17:29 +0000 photojane 30858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: what was your favorite part of your shower? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-baby-shower#post-30846 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:10:42 +0000 chopsuey 30846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL threw my baby shower for me.

Not as "detailed" as I would've done it. But I learned to accept that everyone isn't a designer and it won't look like a magazine spread. </p> <p>It's the thought that counts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-baby-shower#post-30835 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 19:54:09 +0000 photojane 30835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Though I'm not pregnant yet, I'm already really excited about the shower phase of my pregnancy (I love a good party!). I often get caught up on Pinterest and other blogs ogling the most adorable baby showers. I've planned a few now, and I just can't get enough (the adorable decor, the sweets, the tiny clothes, the glowing mommy... oy vey!).</p> <p>So... did you have a themed baby shower? If so, what was it? What special details do you remember most? If you could plan your own shower what would you definitely include? </p>
