Baby Girl Shower Ideas

Sugar and spice, and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of. Sunshine and rainbows, and ribbons for hair bows, that's what little girls are made of. Tea parties, laces and baby doll faces, that's what little girls are made of.

Listen to women as they look at baby girl outfits …"Ooooooooh how cute is that?" "That is so adorable." "How precious." and the like. Baby girl items seem to come with a natural sweetness. That's what makes planning a baby girl shower so easy. How about asking each guest to bring a frilly pair of booties or hair bows?

Here's a fun idea for a shower. If you know that the mother to be is going to have a girl, then get her a little girl baby doll. Get the doll the frilliest, laciest outfit you can find (mom will keep all these after the shower). Try to find some little lace tights and hair bows (or the elastic 'brain squishers'). Make the doll as girlie as you possibly can.

Mom has to care for the "baby" all throughout the shower. Tell the guests ahead of time that anytime mom says "cute, adorable or precious" someone has to cry like a baby – thus causing mom to pick up the baby and check the diaper, see if she might be hungry or maybe just tired and need some rocking.

Carry on the shower festivities as planned, but mom has to do it with baby in tow. It's fun to see if mom delegates grandma or all the other 'aunties' in the room to take care of the baby, or if mom tries to do it all.

Then for one of the games you can play "Baby [or insert baby's name if it has been decided]" is now in puberty" and then "Baby is in high school". Have all the guests ask hypothetical questions – about how mom will react when … questions related to periods, boyfriends, sex, squabbling best friends, no one asking her to the dance…"

Give mom a dry run what she has to look forward to. It's guaranteed to be a memorable shower.
