I have many women in my family, from cousins, sisters and aunts to nieces, sisters in law, and also friends. So as you can imagine, I've been to a lot of different baby showers. However, I went to one recently that was absolutely gorgeous and brilliant.

They took brand new ideas for baby showers and really made something special. For example, while they brought gifts for the baby, they also brought gifts just for the mother. I thought that was very nice, because the mother was able to get some well deserved pampering!

But the cake was one of the greatest ideas. Instead of making one big cake, they made tiny individual cakes for each guest. They turned this into a game as well by baking a plastic baby right into the cake. Whoever found the baby got a prize!

To make things even more interesting, they used a bunch of different designs for each little cake. But one of my very favorite things about the baby shower was the decorations. You see, the mother decided not to find out what whether baby was a boy or girl, so they couldn't decorate with the typical pinks or blues.

Instead, they decorated the entire room with cute sayings such as, "Mommy's Little Princess or Daddy's Little Quarterback?" These sayings were on beautiful posters that they had printed out themselves. There were even footballs and princess crowns featured on the posters, too.

This event had some of the best ideas for baby showers I have ever seen, and it was one of the best baby showers I've ever been to. Try using some of the ideas above if you want to do something really unique. Most importantly, have lots of fun celebrating the upcoming arrival of your new bundle of joy!
