4.0 out of 5 stars Overall a pretty good book., April 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Baby Shower Book (Paperback)

I'd never thrown a baby shower before so I thought this book would help. It had some really good ideas in it, especially for games. The food ideas didn't sound too tempting and there was only 1 recipe for punch (I would of liked more). The game section was the best, so if you need game ideas this is the book. But if you need food ideas, I would suggest trying to find another book.

2.0 out of 5 stars A very basic book for shower planning, mostly games, etc., February 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Baby Shower Book (Paperback)

This is an extremely basic outline of shower giving with very simplistic ideas--not exactly a planner for an elegant, Martha Stewartesque affair. Fine if you plan on LOTS AND LOTS of cute games, but thin on ideas for a beautiful party.

2.0 out of 5 stars Best for a beginner, February 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Baby Shower Book (Paperback)

The majority of the book and the best content was related to games. It did not go into too much detail of decorating or favors, which is where the seasoned shower planner needs some new ideas. It had a brief description on themes, but should have had recipes related to those themes. I was disappointed in the food section, not much content. I have never heard that a mother-to-be should arrive at the shower before her guests? Good for games, that's about it.
