<li><strong>A bit of advice</strong> &#8211; Contributed by: Phyllis C.<br />
Have ink pens and index cards near the exit of the party. Ask each person to write down some thoughts or advice for the mom-to-be!</li>
<li><strong>Comforter Creation</strong> &#8211; Contributed by: Talina J.<br />
Purchase a light, solid color comforter and get a laundry marker. Have everyone that attends the shower sign the blanket! It&#8217;s a great keepsake and looks so cute in the baby&#8217;s room hanging on the wall.</li>
<li><strong>Educational Party</strong> &#8211; Contributed by: Rhiana W.<br />
Ask everyone to bring a book to start a library for the baby, or an educational toy.</li>
<li><strong>Helium Balloon Party</strong> &#8211; Contributed by: Jennifer<br />
Each guest is asked to bring a helium balloon to the party. During the party a note is attached to the balloon with the mom-to-be&#8217;s post office box address and a request for a letter from the person that finds the balloon. At the end of the party, the balloons are set loose. The letters received by the mom-to-be can be saved in the baby book.</li>
<li><strong>Party Favors</strong> &#8211; Contributed by: Beverly B. of Oklahoma<br />
Purchase about 1/2 yard of flannel suitable for a baby in either a pink or blue pattern. Cut squares approximately 4 inches square. Fold in half diagonally to form a triangle and then form a tiny 3 cornered &#8220;diaper&#8221; and then pin it with a little pin. Spray with spray starch and allow to dry. Inside each little diaper, insert a paper mini baking and party cup (made by Wilton and found at craft stores and discount stores). These can then be used to hold nuts and/or mints, such as after dinner mints in the pastel colors and given to each guest at the shower.</li>
<li><strong>Thank You Notes</strong> &#8211; Contributed by: Lorna F. of Pinopolis, SC<br />
Hand out envelopes (the ones for the thank you notes) and ask each person to fill in their name and address. They can get a small gift or prize for doing so if you choose, bit it certainly helps the mother to be.</li>
<li><strong>What&#8217;s My Name? -</strong> Contributed by: Lorna F. of Pinopolis, SC<br />
Have everyone write down their favorite baby names on a piece of paper. This gives mom and dad a nice list to think about, and you can give a gift to the person who&#8217;s name they choose!</li>
