Modern Baby Shower Planning

There is nothing I love more than a baby shower; it's my favorite kind of party. Though most of my girlfriends are just beyond this stage, there was a time a few years ago when I got invited to baby showers at least once a month. Shopping for baby clothes (especially the really tiny ones) trumps handbags any day in my opinion! Below, I've gathered a few things to inspire you in case you're lucky enough to be throwing a baby shower soon! Some of these items are new takes on old ideas; perhaps my favorite thing is the Spudware.

As always, think sustainably. No one needs a bunch of plastic crap. I actually saw umbrella-shaped tape measures, alluding to that horrible game where a mean mother-in-law actually measures the mother-to-be's belly then has the guests guess the circumference. Don't even think about it! Instead, provide favors that will be eaten, planted, or lit on a special day (personally, I feel no shower is complete without baby powder-scented candles). I have captioned these items just for you!
