Baby shower game

 I put together a game for my friend's baby shower.  It's one of my favorites, a candy bar matching game. I used a big piece of cardboard and paper.  I printed pictures of the candy bars and the matching words. Then put pieces of scrapbook paper with numbers on top of them. I was sick for the shower so I didn't actually get to see it played. I hope it worked. ;)

Baby Shower Candy Bar Matching Game

Match candy bar names with pregnancy and baby words and phrases.  For example, "whoppers" would match "10 pound babies"  If you make a match you get the candy bar.

Baby Shower

This is the mother-of-honor and her mom and '2nd' mom.

My friend MaryAnn and I hosted a baby shower today for our friend Kimberly, who is expecting her second baby. It was a lot of fun to put together.

The food

We did a teddy bear theme so we had chocolate covered cinnamon bears, cinnamon bears,
chocolate covered gummy bears, gummy bears, teddy grahams, straw'bearies', and some other candies and fruit and dip. I made that banner.

We had this at the door so they knew which room we were in. It had the papers for our first couple of games (one of the games was guessing the candies in the jars). I also arranged those flowers (they were left over from my sister-in-laws wedding last week shhh don't tell).

We decorated with teddy bears all over the place.

These were the invitations - but I smudged out personal information.

One of the games was thinking of famous bears.

One game was guessing how many candies there were in a bottle, sippy cup and baby food jar.

We coordinated all the papers to be teddy bears and blue and brown.

MaryAnn did this game about child 'bearing' stories. It was a lot of fun.
