3.0 out of 5 stars The Everything Baby Shower Book, April 1, 2000

By A Customer

This book is well laid out with a large and varied amount of information, with plans for having formal baby showers to simple and casual ones. However, I found that it is lacking in recipe/food ideas, and that many of the games are those found in the plethora of other shower books available. I also found editing errors, such as (pg 203) a reference to "the bride" as opposed to the "new mom"... since this is a baby shower book, I felt that this was evidence of poor editing. It also does not do a good job of addressing the newer trend of men attending showers, or of dealing with having a teenage baby shower. Unfortunately, this is a realistic need, and is what I'm looking for. I did find several games that they will probably enjoy, guys included, but other than "Mystery Guest", nothing that I didn't find somewhere else. I am not impressed with this book, but will be using it anyway. It's not bad, but others are probably as good for less money.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Waste of Money!, December 25, 2001

By	"dcargillrajoo" (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this book with the intention of using it to help plan
my sister's baby shower. With the exception of one or two ideas,
I found the book to be of little use. I would recommend browsing through it at a bookstore (with pen and paper in hand)
or borrowing it from someone and saving the money to use towards
the shower you are planning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Super Book! Just what I needed!, July 28, 2000

By A Customer

What a terrific book! I found everything I needed to plan a shower fast, easily and with a lot of flair. From games and ideas to decorating tips to even a grocery shopping list, this book was way, way worth the price! A great find! We had a really fun shower!
