Product Description
The baby boomers' babies have started a baby boom of their own, and Baby Showers is the ideal guide for today's host. With four stylish and contemporary party themes, Baby Showers offers menus, decorating ideas, simple projects for favors and gifts, and activities to suit a range of personalities. The cheery Daisy Brunch treats Mom to a sunny morning buffet with a vibrant daisy theme and a delicious array of breakfast treats. Luncheon pampers the expectant guest with a sumptuous and healthy menu, and favor bags filled with natural beauty products. Decorating the Nursery brings family and friends together for fun foods and an afternoon of sprucing up baby's new room. An Heirlooms and Memories shower encourages guests to contribute to a scrapbook that mom and baby will cherish for years to come. Each themed party comes with a "Party Planner" that will help the host to pull off party preparations with ease and flair. From choosing the site and sending the invites, to decorating and hosting a memorable, heartfelt affair, Baby Showers truly delivers-everything but baby. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars No patterns - No templates - Only Pretty Photos, March 20, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Baby Showers: Ideas and Recipes for the Perfect Party (Paperback)

I purchased this book online in the hopes of discovering some great creative ideas. Though the photos were wonderful, I was very displeased with the lack of actual crafty, DIY projects in the book. For the ones that were provided, there were NO templates or patterns to use. For example, page 29 references an adorable Daisy Flower Shaped invitation. The instructions meerily say, "Sketch your own 7" daisy template..." Sure, that is all fine and dandy... if I had drawing talent! It would of been great if the author would of supplied an actual 7" template in the back of the book to photocopy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Original Ideas, September 15, 2000

By	Ann "girlpink" (Fort Lauderderdale, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Baby Showers: Ideas and Recipes for the Perfect Party (Paperback)

Just the inspiration I was looking for! The recipes are simple and unique. The photos are beautiful and really illustrate how color and textures can make a big impact on your shower or party theme. I like the way the information is organized, especially the sources in the back of the book. They even include ideas for the nursery and special keepsakes. If you enjoy planning parties, but want to try something a little different and contemporary, you will get great ideas from this book

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been better...
I was looking for something more substantive - more of an overall book with a lot of ideas. If you want something to have it all, I would recommend another book.
