From the Author

This book began as I was helping to plan a baby shower for a friend at church. In fact it was the fifth baby shower that year. I wanted it to be different than the others. How many showers have we attended and it was the same thing? The same games, the same food, the same thing! I realized that often times it is one person within a group of friends that plans the baby showers and it is the same group of women that attend each one. I wanted to create a resource that someone could use more than once and have a completely different shower the second, third and every shower after that. A shower that would be unique to the person it is being given for and fun and interesting for the guests who attend. I trust that you will find the inspiration you are looking for to create a perfectly unique shower for your guest of honor. I hope that your shower is all that you dreamed it to be.

3.0 out of 5 stars Subject Matter Not What I Expected, August 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Ultimate Baby Shower Guide (Paperback)

I sent this book to a friend of mine whose friends are starting the journey towards motherhood, thinking it would be useful over the next few years. While it seems that the book contains lots of helpful hints and information, readers should be aware that there are also many religious overtones in the book. The author repeatedly praises and refers to God and offers religious quotes/stories. I was a little surprised to see this in a book about baby showers, especially there is not indication from the book's description that there is such a religious slant. Regardless, seems like a helpful guide.

I thought this book was great. It was easy to understand and I wasn't overwhelmed by too much information. It has a lot of great ideas but also helps you come up with ideas of your own so your shower will be personalized for the guest of honor. I liked it! It was worth the money!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Baby Shower Book on the Market, July 18, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Ultimate Baby Shower Guide (Paperback)

This book far exceeded my expectations. Most baby shower books focus heavily on one area of a shower but this had it all! It even has adorable baby pictures throughout the book. There were so many different ideas for each aspect of the shower. This is definitely a book that I can use in the future for any other showers I may give and the showers will be totally different. This book is well-thought through and well-organized. My shower was a hit! Everyone enjoyed themselves...the guests, the mom, and even myself. I followed the suggestions in the book and I was prepared on the day of the shower. I was actually able to relax and enjoy it instead of running around. This book is a must buy!
