Get Scrapbooking Your Baby Shower

I went to a baby shower once where various colors and flavors of baby food were smeared into the lining of a diaper.  The guest of honor had to guess what kind of baby food it was.  Yuck!

But I’ll tell you what – that was one of the most memorable and fun baby showers I’ve ever attended. When something is memorable and fun, then the first thing  I do is put it in my baby shower scrapbook.

For the mother-to-be, a baby shower is a glorious event because the entire day is all about her.  Who doesn’t like to get presents and be pampered?  For the guests, sometimes, not all the time, but sometimes, a baby shower can be, well, quite frankly, a duty or an obligation.  Your family and friends make an appearance to show their support.

Hopefully your baby shower will be marked by fun activities and lots of laughs.  It will be a day the ladies are talking about for some time to come.  The mother-to-be certainly will never forget her baby shower.

To ensure you capture the day in its true essence, make yourself a baby shower scrapbook.  Include your invitations, your guest list, your gift list, a sample of the decorations, what food was served, and what games were played.

Journal something really funny that happened that day and then don’t forget to include you thoughts after everyone left.  When the last piece of cake was eaten, and the last game played – how did you feel?  Make an entry into your baby shower scrapbook.

By the time your shower is scheduled, your due date isn’t too far off.  You may have finishing touches to put in the nursery; you’ll want to wash all your new outfits for baby; you’ll have breathing classes to attend; and doctor appointments every week.

Baby will be kicking your ribs, you won’t get much sleep, your back will hurt, your toes may look like little sausages and waddling will probably hurt your child-bearing hips.  Life will start to get more hectic as the days roll on – and that’s only the start.  Wait until baby arrives!

Create your very special baby shower scrapbook right after the baby shower.

You will still have time, and you’ll be able to still savor the day.
