The Search For Summer Wedding Invitations!

July 15th, 2009

I didn’t have as many problems planning an outside wedding as I thought I would. It turns out that it was a lot cheaper in cost than it would have been to have an indoor wedding. Since we had the beauty of nature all around us, it wasn’t too expensive to decorate. The first thing on my agenda was to find that perfect place to hold our summer wedding and reception party. I thought about a super beach wedding and reception, or maybe have it in a gorgeous garden, but I decided to have our ceremony and reception in the park. I found there were several great locations that would work out perfectly for an outdoor wedding.

I wasn’t really sure where to start, so I shopped around for some much needed suggestions. When you plan to be married in the great outdoors, it seems you have to have a backup plan just in case the weather turns from sunny to pouring buckets. So we arranged to have a tent set up to move the ceremony into if necessary, just as a precaution.

Plan “A” was setting up a gorgeous trellis for our ceremony to be performed under and canopies for the reception. The only real decorations I needed were those for my wedding table and the guests reception tables. About all I needed were a extra flowers and my table settings, thanks to the already present beauty of the park. I thought artificial flowers would be best, since we didn’t want a bee invasion ruining our ceremony. You couldn’t tell they were artificial they were so beautiful,they looked like the real deal. Planning this wedding wasn’t all that hard, but there was a little more than I expected. You want to make sure you have plenty of citronella candles scattered about, and that the rest rooms are within walking distance, and make sure your frosting on your cake doesn’t melt in the heat.

There was a variety of accessories available for the outdoor reception. I had little park bench place card holders at each table setting, and little citronella votive candles in glass globes with a nice flower arrangement as our centerpieces. For each of our guests there were beautiful chrome bottle openers in lovely designed favor boxes, as a summer wedding theme. The most beautiful part of our wedding table was our cake with it’s gorgeous wedding cake topper.

I saw this cake topper when I was checking out all the wedding accessories they had to offer, and I knew this was the topper I wanted. They were customized toppers for the wedding couple. They put our faces on our cake topper, and all I had to do was send them a photo of me and my fiance. How could I ask for a better wedding keepsake than that? Our friends and family were really loved the cake topper and gave us a lot of compliments on it. All the wonderful accessories I ordered for our reception and wedding ceremony came from the same place, including our champagne flutes and silver cake set. It’s unbelievable all the lovely accessories you can purchase from you computer.

Everything at the wedding and reception were fantastic. Plan B never had to be used, since the weather was so beautiful, and thankfully it remained that way through the whole evening. We all loved the super DJ and the fantastic job he was doing, and if I’m right, he probably kept the music and dancing going on for quite a while after we left to go on our honeymoon. Everyone commented on what a lovely ceremony and super reception we had. The park turned out to be the perfect place to have our wedding and reception. If we should decide somewhere down the line to have a renewal wedding ceremony, I think I’d like to have it in the park again.Technorati Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

An Online Shop for Glass Favors!

June 16th, 2009

   The is no limit to the number of supplies and accessories you can get for your wedding, and many of them are wonderful. The genre of wedding you hold can be almost anything now, from a winter wonderland look to a barn dance to something that celebrates your cultural heritage. With all that’s available for you to choose from now, you can’t help but find outstanding alternatives for whatever theme you’re going with. For their wedding day, a man and his beautiful bride have a ton of choices. Destination weddings and honeymoons are quite popular. Going through the process of buying all of the products you’ll need for your wedding day is something you’ll have to do no matter what choices you make about how the wedding will look. I chose to go on the web and search out all the decorations, gifts and other accessories I needed for our wedding day. The cost was substantially lower and the hassle was less than it would have been if I would have stuck solely to going go to local places. I picked out personalized glass wedding favors, invitations, and just about whatever else we needed by doing that.
   I bought all the essentials for our ceremony like a gorgeous five piece wedding ensemble which included the flower basket, ring pillow, guestbook, a stunning pen set and even a matching leg garter, for a very money saving price. There were plenty of ceremony accessories, including lovely tiaras and wedding combs to choose from too. Without even leaving my home, I purchased everything I needed for my wedding day. That sure saved wear and tear on my nerves and my legs, not to mention all the money I saved by ordering a few of the discount accessories. There was an exact replica of my man and I, only a several inches high, that was custom-made for us for our wedding cake topper. It was a really neat cake topper, and it’s so precious that I know I’ll be saving it forever. I also ordered a beautiful cake serving set with crystal handles and champagne toasting flutes that had bride and groom printed on them. Our close friends and relatives all received champagne glass wedding favors as a bonus wedding favor. For all of the gentlemen who were at our wedding, we bought shot glass wedding favors, and for all of our lady wedding guests, we bought crystal wedding favors. The women got a perfume bottle made of crystal on a key chain that can be easily carried around with them so that they can always freshen up and smell nice no matter where they went. I thought that was a really neat idea. The containers they arrive in are silver and have a pretty bow and hang tags. The place card holders for the reception were attractive and unusual as well. They were made of glass and the form of a bunch of grapes, and in the middle was a place for the card to sit. They made the tables at the reception sparkle.
  I know I couldn’t have had such a wonderful reception and décor if I hadn’t taken advantage of the fantastic selection of glass favors they had online and crystal wedding favors they had online. I ordered a few extra crystal favors for myself, like a butterfly and the oh so beautiful crystal swan. All girls deserve a little glitter in their lives. 

  The favors they have, I discovered as I browsed through their inventory, aren’t just for weddings. Baby showers and bridal showers have certain favors of glass too. Some very attractive examples included ones with baby designs, like shoes and strollers. When I have a baby shower, and I expect that I will, I will suggest this website first. I picked out many items at bargain prices, and there was no shortage of selection. For newlyweds, saving a few extra dollars can go a long way.

A great place for hearts wedding favors online!

June 10th, 2009

   A hearts wedding was what I had decided on for our wedding and reception theme. There was just so much to work with at the online shopping store to make everything as romantic as I wanted it to be.  I even thought about having a big cupid hanging in the reception hall, but my fiance thought that was going a little over board, so I skipped the cupid idea. But I did find a lot of hearts wedding favors and other accessories that I could use. There were even unity and taper candles that carried the heart theme. I also got my guestbook, photo album and three other wedding items in a wedding collection set that came at a very low price. I also picked out the nicest heart favor I could find for our wedding guests. I bought everything where I bought my invitations, at the online wedding store.    

   When the invitations were completed, I had to go forward with putting together the exact products that I would use. I selected a red velvet set of ribbons and bows that I would put on the end of and string between the church pews. At the altar were candelabras and our beautiful unity candle with the heart of little roses on the front. On the scene at the wedding, we put many pink and red roses mixed together, in the floral bouquet that I carried. It may have been a touch extravagant, but I’ve always wanted to have doves released as we left the church building, so we did, and it I thought it was wonderful.

   The wedding apparel that would be worn by those who were going to be in the wedding had already been selected. I picked out a white satin basket that had bows and lace decorating it for our flower girl. There was a white double hearts wedding themed pillow with a pair of gold hearts on it that we got for our ring boy to use, along with a white ribbon made of satin for the rings. My flower girl was going to wear a small tiara, and it was very similar in appearance to the one I had picked out for myself. She wore a pretty pink dress, made for a flower girl, and she did such a wonderful job as a flower girl and looked so brilliant that I thought she did look like royalty. The ring boy was just as cute in his small tuxedo and red boutonniere, and he did his task just as well. When he walked, he didn’t get out of sync with everyone else, and he bore the rings in distinguished fashion. They both made me very proud.

   The centerpieces we had made up for the reception dinner had tiny hearts intermixed with roses that were white, pink, and red. I got a place card holder that was the prettiest I had ever seen for each place setting, and two hearts wedding candles that made it feel like love was in the air. The wedding favors we got our guests should be a terrific souvenir from our wedding; they had handles in the shape of a heart attached to tiny silver bells. There were frosting hearts all around the bottom layer of our wedding cake, and each layer was decked out in pink and red roses all around. Our hearts wedding cake had a white porcelain topper on it that complimented the rest of our cake décor beautifully.
Our entire wedding day called to mind love and Valentine’s Day, filled with flowers and hearts galore. I feel fortunate that I was able to use the Internet to the extent that I did because it made everything much more efficient.

Phenominal key chain party favors

June 6th, 2009

I always thought of keychain favors as a really cheap type of gift, until I got a look at some of the phenominal that where available online. And they are inexpensive, but some are quite well designed. Honestly I had never thought about key chain favors until I got a look at some of the pretty ideas they had for them. There were characters from stories, vacation and honeymoon destinations, and specific cities, all worked into keychain designs. We decided to get these very useful key chain party favors which I liked because they doubled as tape measures. That’s the type of thing that you like to have in a pinch. Some other ones I was fond of included the engagement ring key chain favors, which had a wedding band with rhinestones around it. Isn’t it incredible that you can find keychains that well designed? It’s not just weddings either; there is a cool favor keychain for baby or bridal showers.
The website I went to had a lot more than that. They had a wonderful selection of supplies and decorations for weddings and receptions as well. We found an eye-catching cake topper to go with the magnificent wedding cake we’d picked out. It was a beautiful monogrammed cake topper with our initials in brushed silver with little sparkling crystals to add that certain elegance to an already perfect topper. We had a lovely knife cake serving set too, with handles that were designed as bride and groom wedding attire. Our table at the recpetion shone brilliantly with crystal glasses for the champagne and wine, and the rest of the tables there were just as pretty. Everyone had champagne toasting flutes to go with the china I chose and the fantastic place card holders I found online. These placecard holders were really quite unique in style. The place cards went on top of a daisy petal, and the daisies sat inside a wee flower pot.
Our caterers really outdid themselves with fantastic dishes and desserts and four different salads to choose from. We got some really top-notch musicians to play at our banquet hall for the reception. My man knows some people, and he managed to bring in about the most talented group in our locale. Whatever song you wanted to hear, this group could do it really well. The band made our first dance as husband and wife a very memorable moment indeed. One attendee at our wedding walked up and offered them a good chunk of change to come and play in about a month at his son’s engagement party.
Everything at our wedding and reception was spectacular and it just couldn’t have been better. We will have a lot of memories captured between the photographer we had there and the video that we shot of our ceremony and our first dance. I’m glad I thought to buy two wedding photo albums, because there was definitely plenty of pictures to store away. I also bought a table top album to have on display in our living room. It has two pretty hearts on a silver metal frame, and it looks fantasitc. Oh, and then I got a photo album for our honeymoon pictures as well, since I knew that Cancun would have plenty of opportunites for taking great photos. I was quite ready for us to take all kinds of pictures during this special period in our lives.
Having all of my relatives and other loved ones watch my man and I say our vows together was unforgetably romantic. I will hang on to the many pictures and souvenirs that I have from our wedding day, forever. There were a lot of good memories of the honeymoon, too.

Phenominal Growth RX

June 6th, 2009

I like to work out hard, and if the pros are many and the cons are few, and if it’s totally natural, I’ll look seriously into taking something to help me improve my work-out results. I’m willing to put in the time to train to look good, but I’m not going to sacrifice my health to do it. I don’t like to have a thousand different pills and powders to worry about, so when I find something that has multiple positive effects, I look into it pretty seriously. That way, I can be healthy, strong, and look good, but not have to spend a ton of time trying to keep track of everything.
I was surfing the net when I stumbled across some phenominal Growth RX testimonials. There was story after story about the great results they got by taking some lovely Growth-RX. In the beginning, what caught my eye was how fanatically they talked about the great impact it had on their bodies. That’s not enough for me, though. Something has to make me look good and keep me healthy in order for me to take it.
Once I read the phenominal Growth RX testimonial that i found was valid and got me excited, I checked into the ingredients. It turns out there’s this new amino acid named citrulline malate that is supposed to help your body respond better to exercise. I’m a stickler for getting all-natural ingredients in anything that I put into my body, and this matched that criteria.
The last piece of research I did was to see what specific areas of fitness this product could assist with. I was hoping to lower my body fat and also raise my energy level. By taking this substance, you could get those benefits and then some. It would make my body look more cut, and my muscles would recover faster when I worked out. It also claimed to help blood flow and oxygen levels, which was really a big plus in my book. Once I read all of that, I knew that I had to give it a shot.
I had high hopes when I tried it, and the results were even better than I could have ever imagined. The muscles in my arms and legs rippled, I got thinner, and I had so much energy that I didn’t know what to do with all of it. I felt wonderful, both physically and mentally, and I was training much harder than I had been able to before. It was almost as if I had discovered the fountain of youth. The morning after a lift I felt wonderful because my muscles were able to recover so much faster, and I began lifting more and more.
It was very good for my peace of mind to know that Growth Rx is not something that’s going to give me problems down the road even though it’s making me look fantastic now. It’s not like my fitness level was terrible before, but now I stand out as being very physically fit. A woman at the gym I train at was so shocked at the transformation in my body that she actually came up to me and inquired as to what I was on. When I told her that I was taking a supplement with all-natural ingredients, she was stunned that I could get the results I did from something that had nothing artificial in it. She wanted to know if I could get her some, and I told her that it was easy to find it online, and it’s very affordable, too. When she starts taking it, I know she’ll be thanking me over and over again.

The Best Groomsmen Gift Ideas on the Internet!

June 2nd, 2009

We found out about a fantastic online shopping site for wedding accessories and supplies, so we decided to see what they had to offer. Along with super accessories, they had some pretty awesome thank you gifts for everyone in our wedding party. My fiance checked out all the groomsmen gifts and they carry, and found some great groomsmen gift ideas to choose from. With being on a budget we were really lucky to find cheap groomsmen gifts and bridesmaids gifts that not only fit our budget, but made great little gifts. He got each of them a mug as their groomsman favors, with the word groomsman printed on it. With so much to offer, needless to say, that’s where I did all my shopping for the wedding decorations and supplies.
December was the month we planned on for our wedding date and I was determined to have a winter wonderland wedding, and with all the accessories they have to offer, I knew I’d have everything I needed to make it work. The winter wonderland wedding bulletins were perfect for our invitations. While I was browsing through the flower basket and ring pillow selection, I discovered a great deal on a five piece set with a wedding guest book and pen, wedding garter and the flower girl basket and ring pillow. All the pieces matched and I was really surprised at the total cost of the set, it was so much lower than I would expect. I know, after reading a few wedding articles, that many churches won’t allow the tossing of petals for the bride and grooms departure and many couples have chosen bubbles to be blown as they exit the ceremony. So I checked out this online shopping site and found bottles of bubbles with lovely little bubble cards to go with them for our ceremony.
You should see all the accessories I was able to get for our reception. I bought all the gifts for the entire wedding party from there, including gifts for the bridesmaids, flower girl and ring boy. We could cross off the list of things to buy as far as the groomsmen, my bridesmaids and the rest of the wedding party, so I could now choose thank you gifts for the guests. There were an awful lot of winter wonderland wedding favors to choose from for our reception. As thank you gifts, I chose glass votive candles with a frosty winter theme, for all of our guests. The glass candles had wintery snowflakes all over it. They each came in their own little favor box with a silver hang tag.
The little snow ball ornament place card holders I bought make great little thank you gifts too. There was so much for a beautiful winter wonderland themed wedding, like our cake server set, our champagne flutes and even our funny wedding cake topper. I asked the baker to turn our top layer of the wedding cake into a ski slope, since the topper I picked was of a bride and groom on skis. I had many pictures of our wedding cake taken for my winter themed wedding picture album, it was so adorable. We cut our cake and shared the first piece, then my brother in law gave a little speech as he toasted to the bride and groom, and then it was time for us to have our first dance of the evening. With all eyes on us as we danced, I felt as magical as a princess in a fairy tale.
The rest of the reception was just as perfect as the beginning, and everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. The wedding groomsmen gifts and the bridesmaids gifts were a big hit. We also got quite a few compliments from our wedding guests about the decorations and the lovely wedding favors they received.

Splendid Growth-RX

May 16th, 2009

I was sitting on my couch thinking about how much better I felt about my body and about myself when I was in my twenties. I enjoyed physical exercise, and you could tell by looking at what a toned body I had. I never had any trouble picking up women when I was younger, and I may not have been a total hunk, but I definitely got some looks from some very beautiful women. Whenever I went to a gym or a beach, I’d always have women looking me over, and I used to love that feeling of getting that attention and feeling the rush of exercising hard.
When I saw myself in the mirror, I knew that I didn’t have it anymore, even though I don’t consider it to be all that long ago when I was in top shape. It occurred to me that now I was spending time sitting on my sofa instead of being out exercising, and it was a no-brainer that I wasn’t going to pick up any women just lounging around my living room. The scary thing was, I was so out of shape that I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to be sized up by a woman anymore. It was like I was in a Twilight Zone episode where it was the same me, but I had gotten transported into a different body.
Then a friend informed me about this supplement he was taking, it was called Growth Rx, and he told me to go online and look up some splendid Growth RX reviews. I just came out and asked him if this stuff was the reason that his muscle tone had changed so dramatically over the past couple of months, and he said, yes. I decided that it made sense to look into.
Am I ever glad I did. There was a lot of information about Growth-Rx, and I combed through every line of it. The testimonials were quite impressive, and that made me check out the ingredients, too. I don’t like to pour things into my body that aren’t made of natural ingredients, but this stuff was made of natural ingredients, so I was ok there. Then I started reading about the results – increasing muscle mass, reducing body fat, helping recovery, and raising energy levels – and I decided that it was time for me to try it out.
It really had an awesome impact on me. I can put on pants and shorts that have been sitting in my closet unworn for more years than I care to think about. The muscles in my arms and legs quickly became more defined. I don’t know if it was because of how the product aided recovery times, or if it was the fact that my energy level was so high, but I could work out a lot harder than I had been before. I had dreamed so often of what it would be like to have the body that I did when I was twenty, and now I was getting to where that was actually beginning to happen. I didn’t just feel better physically, either; I was able to feel stronger and more stable emotionally as well, because I knew that I was doing the right thing for my body.
It obviously made me feel like a million dollars when I was out buying some food and a hot young lady stopped and stared at me for several seconds. I just smiled to myself and let her look. With Growth Rx helping me meet my fitness goals, I knew that wouldn’t be the last time that some young, buxom brunette would be checking me out. Sure, there’s nothing wrong with sitting on the sofa and taking it easy; I’m just glad that I won’t be doing it by myself anymore.

Splendid hankerchief!

May 16th, 2009

This was my first marriage and I wanted to plan the perfect wedding shower. I knew I needed help, so I asked my sister if she wanted to help me. She agreed and was excited as much as I was. I know there is a lot of work to be done when planning a shower and I was eager to get started. I have planned showers before and I knew my shower would turn out awesome. I didn’t have a lot of time and I knew I better get started with the planning.
My sister and I looked for a hall big enough to fit all of my guests. We found a hall close by my home. We started looking on the web for decorations and gifts. We found a lot of themed wedding shower ideas that were so adorable. I bought all my decorations and gifts for the shower. Our next step was to find shower favors. There was a big variety to choose from. I took a lot of time looking because of all the awesome shower favors. When I came across a splendid handkerchief, I knew that is what I wanted my guests to get as a gift. This made me decide that I wanted one for myself on my wedding day. I saw a the handkerchief that was awesome. I was positive that my family and friends would like the men’s handkerchiefs. I decided to go with a lace handkerchief as a wedding favor for all my guests.
Everything was falling into place. We booked the hall and purchased the decorations, gifts, and wedding favors. I needed to figure out what kind of food I was going to have at my shower. I thought about catering it in, but that was expensive. While looking through my recipes, I came across some of the best dishes, that I know me and my sister could prepare. We placed the order for the cake at a bakery near us. All the planning was done. I picked out these gorgeous invitations and mailed them. All we needed to now is wait patiently for the day of the shower.
It was the day of the shower and I and my sister went to the hall early to set the tables and decorate. It did not take long to decorate the hall. As soon as we finished, we were amazed how great the room looked. I even took pictures to remember how it looked. We decorated the tables with a centerpiece and put the cake on the food table. Each setting had a cotton handkerchief. The minute you saw the room, you would say how beautiful it looked.
We all had an excellent time with my family and friends. We all enjoyed each other’s company. We ate and played games. My guests talked about how much they enjoyed getting a handkerchief. It was amazing to see how many gifts I did get. I did not want my shower to end, because I had so much fun and so did my guests.
When all my guests were leaving, they all thanked me for such a good time and especially the handkerchief. It made me glad that I chose a handkerchief for my wedding favor. This day turned out so good and will be remembered for a life time. I am glad that my sister was so helpful in planning the shower with me. It meant so much to me that she was a part of this.|It made me feel good that she was by my side through this.|She really touched my heart during this.[/spin] That is the reason she is my maid of honor.

Splendid Hearts Wedding Favors!

May 16th, 2009

You can definitely call their wedding romantic with all the heart wedding accessories they had for decoration. Everything that had anything to do with the wedding had a heart design, the invites and gifts and everything. The RSVP info was printed on the attractive heart favors, which each had a pair silver hearts on their covers. They were really quite beautiful. Two wee hearts hung from their unity candle, which was flanked by taper candles sitting in very fine-looking holders. The altar looked fabulous with all the lovely flower bouquets and the candle setting. They even had hearts hung on the end of each pew with the tulle draping from row to row. The fact that they tied the knot on Valentine’s Day no doubt had something to do with the whole hearts idea. It was an incredible wedding, highlighted by a bride that was so lovely, she could have been an angel.
At the reception there were hearts and flowers everywhere you looked. The silver hearts wedding theme carried over to the place cards holders at the reception tables, and they complimented the red and white rose centerpieces beautifully. The wine glasses and champagne glasses made the tables sparkle. She really did do a bang up job on table décor They had their names and the date of the wedding inscribed on the wine glasses, and the champagne flutes were crystal. For the bride and groom, there were a couple of very richly adorned champagne glasses. They had a silver double hearts wedding insignia embossed on them, very similar to the hearts wedding invitation they sent out.
They had a five-layer hearts wedding cake that was really yummy. It looked as good as it tasted. They had a personalized wedding cake topper that was a spitting image of the two of them; come to think of it, this may have been the only item in the whole wedding that wasn’t a heart. The wedding cake topper was special, the only one of that type I’ve ever been exposed to. She picked it out on the web; in fact, it was the same site she purchased her other supplies and things for the wedding from. She took some pictures of her groom and herself, and from that, they put together a cake topper that could have been their twins. That’s something they’re going to enjoy looking at for many, many years.
We had a splendid wedding heart, in fact they gave us two thank you gifts. One gift was an adorable votive candle holder, and the other was a package of coffee, decorated differently for the ladies versus the men, that came with a heart-shaped utensil to scoop the coffee with. I thought that was really a cute idea they came up with. Actually they had a lot of cute ideas for the ceremony and reception. The whole hearts genre matched Valentine’s Day, but I was still surprised at how many supplies and wedding items she found to fit that theme. In my opinion, the wedding cake topper took the cake, so to speak. It would be great if they did that for birthdays and other ocassions too. She told me they have supplies and decorations for many events, and promised to show me where she shopped. They couldn’t have put it together any better, and all of the people who went had a smashing time there. Their Mexico honeymoon is probably even more fun than the wedding was. I’m looking forward to hearing all about it, and checking out the photos when they get back. From the pictures on the pamphlets she had, it looks like a beautiful place to visit.

Splendid duck wedding favors

May 16th, 2009

I associated babies with childhood, and I associate childhood with Ernie singing ‘Rubber Duckie You’re the One’ on Sesame Street. It seemed like a longshot, but I checked to see if there were any duck wedding favors available anyway, and I was pleasantly surprised. It was a lot simpler to put together such a baby shower than I anticipated it would be, especially with all of the outstanding input I gleaned from suring the Internet. There are a lot of adorable little duck favors and decorations to be found on the internet for baby showers and even toddler birthday parties.
I put tables that could seat four apiece in my basement rec room since that was plenty big enough for this size crowd. I put baby shower gifts in one corner, and then at the opposite end of the den was a table with appetizers, drinks, deserts, and a layered cake in the form of a rubber ducky and the words baby girl written on it. There were posters of Donald and Daisy Duck, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and the rest of the Disney cast all over the place, and the Daisy Duck one was huge.
I got pink picture frames with tiny ducks on the edges to use a place card holders for each person’s spot at a table. The punch bowl had ducks painted all over it, as did the plates, napkins, glasses, and favor candles that each guest received as a gift. I went to a department store and purchased a little duck shaped baby bathtub and placed a glass punch bowl inside. It was really kind of cute. I also bought duck molds and filled them with yellow colored water for duck shaped ice cubes. I took my duck idea to great extremes.
On the world wide web, I found a bunch of great ideas, and that’s pretty much where I found everything I needed, but I did get a few recommendations from some of the people at my school. On the Internet is where I found duck shower favors, such as the splendid duck favor bookmarkers I found, and the duck candles, too. The people at the shower thought they were to die for, and they got handed out to the winners of the games we did at the shower as well.
I put some rubber duckies in a large, square-shaped, makeshift tub that I filled with water before anyone got to the shower yet. Underneath every rubber duck, I wrote a number, and the each guest plucked one out of the water as they arrived. A couple of hours into the shower, I picked a number out of a jar, and the person with that numbered duck received an award. We also did the old game where you try to guess which person belongs to which baby picture. The guests were told in advance to take a baby picture of theirs to the shower with them, and then we put them all on a board and put the board in the front of the room. Each guest got a chance to check out the board and see how many pictures they were able to match up with the faces of the other guests. The winner was the person who guessed right on the most of them, and they were awarded a shower favor.
We had a lot of fun, great laughs and the mother to be got some really neat gifts for her little girl. I’m so glad I found this idea for the baby shower online. At first I wasn’t too sure about it, but it turned out to be a really great baby shower. Going with the whole duck genre worked out swimmingly.
