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.

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.

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.

I was looking for something with an overall sense of throwing a shower. This book did not have everything I needed, lacking in food, budget, etc. If you are looking for something to give you ideas for every aspect of a shower, this is not the book for you.

The ideas in here on food and games helped me the most. I could not believe how many compleiments I received during and after the shower. The decoration ideas were not helpful, but the games section truly made up for this!! I will continue to use this book!

This book conains many ideas that will help you create a wonderful shower. There are many games (some very creative and new ones that most people will enjoy), as well as some of the most wonderful ideas for food display as I've ever seen! They have baby buggy watermelon instructions, as well as "the baby bottle bundt cake" which is not only adorable, it's easy enough anyone could prepare it! There are several other wonderful recipies as well as decoration ideas, how to make a practical (and cute) corsage for the new mom! This is really a must-have book if you are planning to throw a shower

I was anticipating this being a very good book based on some reviews, but was very disappointed and outdated. It does have silly games - something I wanted no part of at the shower I threw. I was looking for someone to take me through the shower step by step, but this bood did not do so. I would not recommend this book, especially if you are starting from ground zero.

I wanted some new ideas for my sister-in-laws baby shower and this book sure did have them. Mostly games, this book was helpful in more ways than one. Food ideas as well as coursage ideas are excellent.
