Product Description

The baby boomers' babies have started a baby boom of their own, and Baby Showers is the ideal guide for today's host. With four stylish and contemporary party themes, Baby Showers offers menus, decorating ideas, simple projects for favors and gifts, and activities to suit a range of personalities.

From choosing the site and sending the invites, to decorating and hosting a memorable, heartfelt affair, Baby Showers truly delivers-everything but baby.

Customer Reviews

No patterns - No templates - Only Pretty Photos
I purchased this book online in the hopes of discovering some great creative ideas. Though the photos were wonderful, I was very displeased with the lack of actual crafty, DIY projects in the book. For the ones that were provided, there were NO templates or patterns to use. For example, page 29 references an adorable Daisy Flower Shaped invitation. The instructions meerily say, "Sketch your own 7" daisy template..." Sure, that is all fine and dandy... if I had drawing talent! It would of been great if the author would of supplied an actual 7" template in the back of the book to photocopy.

Beautiful ideas for a fun baby shower!
Great recipes and fun ideas for a unique baby shower. The photos are beautiful and the recipes are delicious. Not your everyday baby shower book!

Great Original Ideas
Just the inspiration I was looking for! The recipes are simple and unique. The photos are beautiful and really illustrate how color and textures can make a big impact on your shower or party theme. I like the way the information is organized, especially the sources in the back of the book. They even include ideas for the nursery and special keepsakes. If you enjoy planning parties, but want to try something a little different and contemporary, you will get great ideas from this book
