Throwing a baby shower can be the defining moment for a friend or family member a chance for them to show how much their care and support for the mother-to-be. It is a day when you prepare tasty refreshments and plan a fun afternoon for all those close to the mom. Many believe that fracturing your finances demonstrates your enthusiasm. This is a common misconception.

Spend your money on the baby; entertainment is as easy as cutting a piece of yarn, literally. One of the most humorous games is a classic called, The Tummy Game. All you need is a roll of yarn, string, or ribbon, a pair of scissors, and all the supportive ladies of the new mother. The yarn starts with one person and they cut a piece to the length that they think will be just the right size to get all the way around the guest of honor’s stomach, the yarn and scissors are then passed in a circle until everyone has a string. The guest who is closest to the correct length wins, some relaxing bath salt or a new pen. This is a great game, and it is guaranteed to leave your guests smiling.
