Fun Baby Shower Games
2008-09-02T18:01:00.000+10:00Fun Baby Shower Games
If you have a friend who’s expecting, chances are a Baby Shower won’t be far off. To ensure a few laughs on this special occasion, we have some great game ideas to get the ball rolling...
1. Match the baby name to the celebrity.
2. Using a string, each guest estimates the diameter of the pregnant woman’s stomach. The closest to the size wins.
3. Guess the baby food - blindfolded.
4. Taking a name from each parent, guests create a new name for the baby.
5. Change the nappy on a doll race - includes changing the clothes whilst holding a mobile phone to your ear.
6. A bottle drinking game – one partner tries to drink the bottle while the feeder is blindfolded.

For centuries, food and Christmas have gone hand in hand. Our favourite recipe this winter is a delicious pine and citrus biscotti – a light and zesty sweet to add the finishing touch on those hearty winter meals. Pine and citrus biscotti ½ cup salted butter - room temperature- 1/2 cup sugar

- 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp. lemon zest
- 2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 3/4 cup pine nuts
In a bowl cream together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs. Mix in lemon juice and zest.
Roast pine nuts until light brown.
In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add dry ingredients to butter. Fold in pine nuts.
Grease and flour baking sheet. Divide dough in half and form two logs about 12" long. Bake the logs once for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 5-7 minutes.
Cut the logs into 1" wide slices. Be sure to support the sides of the biscotti log with your hand for a clean cut.
Return the slices to the oven for 15-20 minutes for a second baking.

2008-04-01T15:52:00.000+11:00Best Baby Shower Themes
When hosting a baby shower it is important to have a theme in mind that can become the centre for your invitations, decorations and food.
* Colour themes such as green, orange or yellow and wonderful neutral colours that can be combined or used separately. For a boy, shades of blue, white and purple look great together and you can purchase abundant supplies of baby merchandise in these colours that could be used to decorate and enhance your theme. For a girl, you can’t go past shades of pink and white.
Remember you theme might also depend on the time of day you wish to have your shower. Will it be a morning tea or brunch, a late lunch or an afternoon tea? The time will also dictate the menu you serve to your guests on the day so take this into consideration when deciding on your shower theme.MyInvitesTop 10 Baby Shower Gift Ideas
2008-03-28T16:35:00.001+11:00Top 10 Baby Shower Gift Ideas
Looking for the perfect baby shower gift idea, here are 10 different suggestions that are sure to put a smile on that mum-to-be’s face.
1. Nappies, wipes and disposable change mats – you can never have enough of these things and they do become expensive to purchase every week.
2. Baby Language DVD – this DVD teaches a mother/father how to read and interpret the sounds her baby is making.
3. A play mat
4. A Jolly Jumper – great gift idea which aids in strengthening the babies leg muscles.
5. A good quality baby carrier such as the Baby Bjorn.
6. A Mirror to put in the car so you can see the baby from the driver’s seat.
7. A parenting magazine subscription
8. Pay for a nanny service or house cleaner for a few weeks.
9. Wraps of all sorts and sizes, cotton, muslin, flannelette.
10. A baby food cookbook- they may not need it straight away, but before long these recipes will come in awfully handy.MyInvitesInvitations Guide - What to use?
2008-03-24T09:43:00.005+11:00For many get togethers the traditional printed invitation is no longer an effective way to get your crowd together.
For formal events like weddings, printed invitations are still widely used. Online invitations on www.myinvites.com.au have become really popular for 'save the date' invites for weddings, that are followed up by a printed invite closer to the actual date (6-8 weeks is the current recommendation!). There is though, a strong trend among modern brides towards online planning. Many a bride-to-be has decided to go online for wedding planning simply because of the convenience and timeliness. When it comes to the flurry of events associated with a wedding, online invites prove the smartest, quickest, most cost effectvie option for organising hen's and bucks nights, bridal showers and get togethers with the girls. In response to demand, www.myinvites.com.au has hundreds of stylish and fun designs for each of these occassions. Best of all, you can choose a design you love and send it to up to 100 of your friends for free.
...and funnily enough, the most highly requested invite designs from our members to date has been for wedding invites, proof that even the most formal occasions are now going online.MyInvites10 Fab Hair Accessories for Autumn Parties
