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!!

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!

This book is certainly not for everyone. The basic party how to's were very basic-nothing new. The recipes are hardly "international"-unless you are someone unfamiliar with salsa. There are a lot of games, but again, nothing new. just your basic count the jelly beans kind of things. There's a weird section with a bunch of poems written by baby and the last chapter tells you how to get salvation through jesus christ.

I was a little disappointed with the book. It has all the basics, but nothing unusual or innovative. (I also bought "Themed Baby Showers", and found it more interesting and helpful. It was only $8.00, had some simple illustrations.) The Ultimate Baby Shower Guide had no illustrations, other than photos of the author's friends' children. It does contain scriptures, which were a nice touch, but I was disappointed the book wasn't more creative. I had hoped for something really unusual.

This truly is a great book! Very informative and certainly covers everything you need to know in a well written, step by step way! A must for anyone thinking about planning a shower!

This book had great ideas if you were going to have the shower in someones home, but if you are having the shower at a restaurant or reception place it may not be so useful.
