I think it would be fun to go into business for myself making things for weddings and baby showers. Baking, decorating, photography and calligraphy are just a few of the things is like to learn…as well as any crafty idea for decorating or jewelry making. How do you get started in learning how to do this kind of stuff

By Michelle Bery For many people, sewing is a hobby of yesteryear – a time honored skill that was passed down from generation to generation. Today, while sewing is not a necessary skill it is still one that many enjoy doing – as much for its money saving benefits as for its ability to relax our minds as we infuse a project with our creativity and style. For those who enjoy sewing – or for those who are just taking it up – a sewing pattern can be a wonderful way to make the ideas in our mind come to life

Hubby asked about baby showers and I told him I wouldn’t be having one because it’s the second time around and it’s typically frown upon. Would you have a second baby shower?

I have questions about baby showers that I can seem to find the answer to. Please help. When are the party favor bags given out, when the guest arrives or when they’re leaving

since my shower was in october we had a halloween theme. we had a cake with a baby ghost on it and made everyone come in costumes. it was pretty unique. we played some unique games like pass the baby, we had a baby doll that everyone passed around and when the baby started “crying” that person was “out” kinda like a spin on musical chairs. i enjoy the part were everyone guesses when the baby will arrive and puts it on a calendar. i had a book filled with all the game ideas and plans, later, i added pictures from the party and used it to start my sons scrapbook.

I had three showers early this year with my pregnancy and I loved them all.
My favorite things:
1) THE FOOD! I tended to love the appetizer style foods…
2) The decorations
3) Fun, different games
My least favorite things:
1) The poopy diaper/candy bar game
2) Showers that start at weird times- people like to eat ‘meals’
3) HUGE showers- if the shower is going to be large, consider having someone else open the presents and display them on a table with the card saying who it’s from. No one likes watching a girl open presents for 2 hours…

First, I loathe playing games, I’d rather sit and visit.
Second, I like brunch time showers (there still some of your day left after the shower’s over.
Finally, I like “open houses”, where mom-to-be opens your gift when you arrive.

Least favorite aspect: The etiquette I usually encounter goes very much against what I have been taught in my own culture, which means I am forced to compromise my own standards and values every time I attend such a function. For example, I have been taught that it’s profoundly bad manners to open a gift in front of the person who gave it to you. First of all, it shames any guest who is not in a financial position to give an expensive-looking gift. Second, it obliges the recipient to put on a sincere-looking expression of delight on her face, even if she can’t stand the gift. Third, a gift is not a showpiece; it’s something personal and intimate to be shared between the gift-giver and the recipient.
Most favorite aspect: It is a splendid opportunity to help a happy family prepare for their newest member.
