how safe is your baby egg

How does an egg carton come in handy in a baby shower? I love my sisters but throwing a baby shower is not easy. My sister is having her little girl pretty soon. You would think that food is the important part but it's not, having the guests entertained is what makes or breaks a baby shower. I always get picked to do the games. I don't mind just some pressure involved. Wanted to do some new games. So I did my research. I like for the ladies to get involved as a group. Don't want them to fall asleep on me. The traditional game is measuring the belly. I just spiced it up by tying all the long strands of paper to her body. Like a mommy walking mummified. I introduced them to the one where you make a baby over your head with your eyes closed out of play-doh. the mommy to be picks out the best looking baby. One of my favorites that I had them do is pass a carton of eggs around the room and have them pick one then pass the markers around and have them draw on the egg. The point is to make them individually their babies. They were to keep their babies with them at all times, care for it. At the end who ever still had their babies without a crack, won a prize. They got smart on me by putting them in their cleavage. The trick was whether they were boiled or not.

It was a bring your boyfriend, husband, and partner to the shower kind of shin ding. The women inside while the men played outside. That way the ladies enjoyed their margaritas and the men their beer. Did I mention that it was a Spanish baby shower. I for a second thought it wasn't going to work but it actually did.  Yes there was a mechanical bull. I ended leaving early so I never found out if they had the curiosity to wonder if the egg was breakable or if they won. I think this was intentional by me. It was a two to eleven pm baby shower. 

If you ever throw a baby shower try to involve all the ladies at the same time. I've been on the other end and well there is a difference. I know you've heard of musical chairs, but how about passing the dirty diaper. The competition was tough and the ladies really played rough for their prizes. They all wanted to be winners. It brings out their inner child. In the end it was actually a fun night.
