5.0 out of 5 stars Just What Was Needed!, January 9, 2008

By	Gail D. (Warwick, RI) - See all my reviews

The Everything Baby Shower Book: Throw a Memorable Event for Mother-to-Be (Everything: Parenting and Family)

In December, I started obsessing about planning my daughter's baby shower. We have a large family and quite a few friends; the task seemed daunting. Should the event be held in a home or at a restaurant? What kind of theme should we have? What type of food, favors, centerpieces, games, gifts, invitations, decorations...in my mind, this event was blossoming into a second wedding.

Fortunately, a friend (who was probably tired of the phone calls) presented me with The Everything Baby Shower Book by Sabrina Hill and Joni Russell. Filled with helpful, creative ideas, this easy-to-read guide has saved me hours of thinking, organizing, decision-making...and anxiety. Actually, now, preparing for Diana's baby shower has become lots of fun! Thank you Sabrina & Joni!

5.0 out of 5 stars Baby Showers Galore, April 28, 2008

By	Sabrina Hill & Joni Russell (Los Gatos, California) - See all my reviews

I work in an office where four women are pregnant or recently given birth. I've painfully attended two showers that made me wonder what else I could be doing with my time. The games were old and tired and I felt like I was attending a shower my mom would have attended 39+ years ago.

I've recently taken up planning the next baby shower at the office. The first place I turned to was the Everything Baby Shower book. I wanted fresh idea and a more progressive party. Joni and Sabrina are masters at making parties fun with an interesting and forward thinking flair. I'm grateful for the suggestions in the book and planning guides. These women prove that parties can be as fun to plan as to attend. The baby shower was a success - Joni and Sabrina made me look like a star.
