Baby Shower Games
Hosting a baby shower is a fun experience, but it can be difficult to think of games! Here are a few great ideas:
What's in your Purse? Create a list of 10-15 items. Whoever has the most items in their purse wins a prize!
Steal the gift? Seat everybody in a circle. Guests will roll a pair of die to get doubles (3 rolls per turn) If you roll doubles you select a prize from the middle of the circle. Once the prizes are all taken, you begin to STEAL the prizes. When the timer is up you win the prizes that you have!
Guess the food! - Remove the label from 10 jars of food and each guest will have to guess the food based on the color! No tasting allowed!

Hosting a Child's Birthday Party
Your child is one year older - how do you celebrate? You can always have family and friends over for cake and gifts, but if it is a milestone age (such as 5) then you should celebrate with a party! Parties at local kiddie arcades and restaurants are a joy - but having a party at an art studio is a classic enjoyment for all involved. Children love to express themselves through art, boys and girls. Ask your child if they would like to have an ART party and chances are they will scream "YES". Select an art studio that caters to children as well as adults so that both parents and children have a great time and have amazing artwork to bring home in the end!
