Baby Shower Ideas
Mommy Spa Day - Take the mom-to-be to the spa for a massage, pedicure, manicure, etc... or Have a massage therapist come to your party to do chair massage for everyone. It is a blast. You can paint the mom-to-be's toes any color you want; she can't see them!
Have a Baby Shower Day - Have all the friends/family sign-up for an hour starting with breakfast in the morning to drop by and visit the mother to be. This one is great for women on bedrest or that already have children. Each friend drops by with a gift and a hug to brighten the mom-to-be's day. Don't forget to include meals for the mom & family.
It's Raining Chocolate - Have an all chocolate party! This is a great way to chat & swap recipes. You can play the candy bar game - you melt down candy bars & try to guess which one is which.
Mom's Night Out - Take the mom-to-be out for a night on the town. This one is easy to organize and fun for everyone involved. Eveyone but the new mom pays their own way.
Scrapbooking Baby - Have everyone put together a couple of super cute scrapbook pages (photos to be added later) for the new baby.
Designer Baby Shower - Have a party that focuses on learning to make home baby gifts and products.
Mother Goose Shower - This party is centered around baby books. There are so many possibilities of things to do.
Mad Hatter Baby Shower - Everyone wears a fun hat! Have a whimsical tea party and play funny games.
A Long Distance Baby Shower - A lot of us can't always be there for the important moments in our families lives, so send some love anyway. Have everyone send a present on the same day. Video tape special messages like singing songs to the baby or reading books to the baby. Web cam the party with the mom-to-be a post it for everyone else to party along with where ever they are.
Favorite Things Baby Shower - Everyone bring gifts that represent your favorite baby items for the new mom. That way she gets some great shopping advice. Everyone can also bring their favorite treat to share. This is a great way to bring together party guest that don't really know each other and start conversation.

Pirate Plundering Party
Decorations: Make treasure map invitations rolled up like scrolls. Decorate everything in black and yellow. Scatter gold coins along the table. Make your own pirate flags out of posters or pillowcases. Hang them around the room or sew them together to make the plundering table cloth.
Food: Have a plundering table full of finger foods: sandwiches, chips, fruits, vegetables, pizza, red punch, etc. Serve everything on golden (yellow) plates. In the middle of the table have a treasure chest of assorted cookies for dessert. You could have sushi for adults.
Games:
Make & decorate paper hats & cardboard swords.
Pick out pirate names/ titles and make name tags.
Have a treasure hunt.
Make a treasure chest pinata.
Dance like a pirate - singing pirate songs.
Pin the Eye Patch on the Pirate (or parrot on the pirate, or flag on the pirate ship, ect.)
Play Musical Islands ( Like musical chairs, only use a piece of paper in place of the chairs.)
Sleeping Pirate: All the children (except one - The Pirate) sit cross legged on the floor in a circle. The pirate sits blind-folded, cross-legged in the middle of the circle with a large bunch of keys (or gold coins) on the floor in front of him. A child is nominated to creep up and take the keys and then return to their place without the pirate hearing them. The Pirate has three goes to point to where he thinks the raider is. If he is successful, the raider becomes the Pirate and the game continues.

Backyard Beach Party
Decorations: Cover the tables with brown butcher paper. Decorate with beach balls, sand pails, bubbles, plastic sun glasses, etc... You can use them as party favors when the party is over. Use brightly colored paper goods for eating and those fun drink umbrellas with straws.
Food: Assorted sandwiches, vegetable plate, fruit salad, & blue Jell-O bowl or blue frosted cup cakes decorated with gummy fish. Be sure to have plenty of cold water bottles & popsicles on hand. Everyone can picnic on towels or blankets.
Games: Slip-n-slides and wadding pools are always a hit. These are some of my favorites too.
Water relay race: You need 1 bucket of water, 1 dry bucket, & 1 large sponge per team. Split players into two or more teams. Set the buckets of water & sponges on one side. Then put the dry bucket 10 - 15 feet away. The first team to fill their dry bucket ½ way with water without moving the buckets wins.
Wipe out : All you need is some surfing music. Everyone pretends to surf while the music is playing in the background. Then yell "Wipe Out" and everyone dramatically falls to the floor. Get up and repeat.
Water balloon volley ball: You will need LOTS of water balloons, a bucket with water in it to hold the water balloons, a beach towel for each pair of children, and a volleyball net is optional. Divide up into two groups. Pair them off and give each pair a beach towel. One side begins by placing a water balloon in the center of their towel. The object is to toss the water balloon over the net with the opposing side catching the balloon in their towel. The volley continues until one side misses and the balloon breaks. Play until you run out of water balloons.
Beach combing box: Set up a sand box with buried treasures in it. You can use coins, wrapped candy, & small toys. Be sure to let the youngest kids go first.
