Finding yourself looking through all this baby shower hosting and how-to's for a 20-something mom? You're probably thinking "Yeah, that was fun for me but I don't know if mom-to-be is going to like this kind of thing..."?

Blame it on Gen Y, blame it on trends that change while you're not looking, blame it on your kids growing up too fast...whatever makes you feel better! But you're still faced with hosting a shower for her. Now I might not be 20-something, but I've talked to enough women hosting for that age, that it has become clear there is one universal theme...

It's all about her.

What's This Mean For The Party?

• Party garland with her name on it. (Baby's too, if you know it.)
• Invitations with her name and/or picture.
• Her favorite colors as a theme.
• Her favorite foods served.
• Her favorite kind of cake.
• Games with her name on them.
• A very large gift with fancy wrapping - from you.

What's This Mean For Games?

"Yeah, those old baby shower games were fun for me, but I don't know if mom-to-be is going to like this kind of thing." Sound familiar yet?

1. Pick shower games you can put her name on.
2. Print the same old games in black and white onto pastel colored paper, use scrapbooking scalloped-edge scissors to cut the edges, and call them....vintage.

What Does This Mean For You?

Spending just as much time and thought putting her into every DIY detail as you do handmade boutique shopping. But it also means one happy mom-to-be!
