When you don't know for certain which gender the soon to arrive baby is going to be, a Baby Carriage Shower would be a perfect choice. Baby Showers are suddenly on my mind as I've just found out that I will have another precious little darling who will call me Grandma sometime in August of this year. My daughter and son-in-law will be first time parents and at this point have decided that they don't want to know the gender until it is born. That got me to thinking about themes for baby showers that are not gender specific.
I love the old style baby carriages and prams. I know they aren't built with all of the safety standards that are called for today. They are big and clunky and difficult to fold up and throw into the trunk of your car. So, I know they aren't really practical now a days. The design sure works for a theme of a baby shower, though. Don't you think?
I stumbled across an article called appropriately Baby Carriage Themed Shower that really has some cute ideas. Janices7 gives some very cute ideas for invitations and stamps with the baby carriage theme. She shows some really cute partyware and decor ideas to fit the theme. There are baby carriage cake ideas and even some game ideas in her article. Janice has laid the entire article out in a very pleasing way too. So, even if a baby isn't in your near future; I think you will enjoy this delightful article...it will make you go "Aahhh!"
Congratulations, Bev! That is great news about your future grandchild. And this lens is one great example of how Squidoo can work to meet a need. It is like a one-stop shop for someone wanting to hold a shower with the baby carriage theme. It is excellent!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea for a baby shower! I had a baby carriage for my children, and loved using it, practical or not! Congratulations, Grandma, on your 'expected' grandchild.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun review for you to do! Congrats on the wonderful news. I remember playing dolls with an old pram that probably was my mother's or some relative's. I think it's so nice that they want to be surprised at the gender too. That keeps it all the more exciting I think.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Grandma Bev! Exciting news. Like your daughter, I never wanted to know the gender during my pregnancies. I figured I would need a wonderful surprise after all the pain! LOL
ReplyDeleteBaby Carriages are definitely not gender specific. Wonderful review of a useful lens!
