Q. I am putting on this shower for my friend. Nursery theme is sage green, so I want to stay in that color scheme. She is also decorating the nursery with sports/balls, but in soft colors, not in primary/bright colors. More muted pastel (sage, cream, light blue). I need ideas for the decorations as well as a themed menu and games. Anyone have some creative ideas that will impress this soon-to-be Mommy?
A. Dress The Baby (Materials: Baby life-size dolls, onsies, diapers, socks, shoes, shirt and pants for each baby doll and stopwatch) - Have each team race to see who can dress the baby doll the first. Each person (or team) must have everything correctly on the baby doll when saying finished. Points docked for missing articles or articles not placed on right. A really fun game and a great way to collect some clothes for the mother to be at her baby shower when the game is finished. also u can blindfold them
Bottle Races(Materials- Baby bottles with Milk or alternate drink). Have each participant take a bottle filled with a liquid and suck the bottle as a baby would. The woman who drinks the most in an alloted time wins the baby shower gift. This baby shower game gets everyone laughing
Pass the Dirty Diaper(Materials- diaper, chocolate, music player). the host to take a diaper that has been "fixed" with warm chocolate in the right place and have the woman pass it to the woman next to them like hot potatoe;(make sure everyone is in a circle). When the host stops the music, whomever is holding the diaper is out of the game. a baby shower favorite
Baby Shower "Loving" Advice(Materials: red and white cardboard paper, scissors, and colored pens) - A great baby shower game to play is to have everyone write a "loving" message for the mother and father to be on cardboard cutout hearts in giving them advice for when the baby is born or during their last few days or months before the baby is born. The "loving messages on hearts tie in with a Valentine's theme very well or at any time during the year. Examples of this would be "Remember to enjoy the moments since they go fast, Get as much sleep as possible before the baby is born and when he/she takes naps, Make sure to take lots of pictures and keep up with a journal writing everything the baby does for the first time, etc. This can be a very memorable and touching activity at the shower as well as help for the new parents
Baby Shower Right and Baby Shower Left- (Materials: a baby shower prize and the following story to be read) - DIRECTIONS: Form a circle with all baby shower participants. Each time you hear the word "right", pass the baby shower wrapped prize to the person on your right. When you hear the word "left", pass the baby shower prize to the person on your left. When you finish this story the person holding the item is the winner of it. Have either the mommy-to-be start the game or choose who holds the prize first. Here is the story to read when playing
This is a story about Mrs. Wright's baby shower tea party. She lived right at the end of Lefty Lane, the third house on the left. Today, Mrs. Wright's was hosting a baby shower tea party.

Ideas to ask guys to a school dance?

I am planning on decorating his last period class of the day.

A. Personally, as a guy I'd just like to be asked - no cute decorations would be needed. But then, that's me, and not knowing your bf, I can't say if he feels the same way. Though, many many years ago, when my oldest brother and his then girlfriend - now wife - were dating, For Valentine's day she stuck a bunch of hearts of various sizes cut out of red, pink, and white paper and stuck them all over his bedroom door, with a note saying that the door had just had a heart attack and she would too if he wouldn't be her Valentine. So it could be something along those lines ("John, your last period desk has just had a heart attack, and I will too unless you go to the Sweetheart's Dance with me! Kelitaaa.").
And for other date stuff, something that you both enjoy doing. A movie? Any favorite (yet affordable) restarants?

A. candles are fine. If i may suggest you might want to grab a few of his favorite flowers and set them in a vase or grab some rose pedals and get creative, run a bubble bath and sprinkle a few in there, although it's a bit corny it's acceptable on valentine's day. Good luck Hope I helped (=
