As I have said in my last entry, I was thinking of having a baby shower for Sati. When I was pregnant with Chico last year and thought it was a girl, I planned on having a baby shower. A girl is a girl, sorry boys. This time, it really is a girl, will I hold one?
My dilemma is, I don’t know anything about baby shower. And if I have plans, I don’t have a budget to hold a baby shower on some venue. For sure this occasion can happen here. I can cook food beyond the taste of your usual resto (naks) and that’s enough I guess. I love entertaining guests here at the house. The but factor is, will it be as lively as any other baby shower? From what I heard some who had baby showers before, entertain their guests with games etc. I am not up to that kind of party. Will it be enough if we just eat and talk? What do you think guys?
Are the guests required to bring something for the baby? If so, can I list what I need then you just pick something on the list? Wahaha parang wedding registry no. Or can we just make this event another excuse to have another She bloggers meet up? Only this time, it’s my treat, that is, if you are willing to brave Ortigas Avenue traffic to attend my baby shower?

August 27, 2009 at 2:44 pmHi ate.. My say is GO with your baby shower. DOn't stress yourself thinking about your baby shower's activities. Basta just invite your close friends and relatives, tell them its your baby shower, alam na nila yun for sure or nasa kanila na yun if they're bring something for the baby on the way. Normally, your friends or close relatives are the ones who organize this party. I had mine when I was 6 months prego. Goodluck on your pregnancy =) Happy weekends

August 27, 2009 at 5:08 pmNormally kasi ang baby shower eh surprise yan para sa buntis, ahahaha! if you are not used to attending or having baby shower, invite ka lang ng mga friends and family mo and have light snacks. Don't write down something na gusto mo, kasi parang required sila na magdala ng things. It's their prerogative if they want to bring something for the baby di ba? Or they can ask you what can they bring. Ang asawa ko, doesn't believe sa mga Gift registry, kasi parang inaasa daw sa bisita ang gamit ng baby. That's why I never had baby shower. Have games, tapos mag prepare ka ng little give away, para sa mga aattend. If may mabili ka na mga baby booties statue, lagyan mo lang ng ribbon yun, then lagay ka ng sticker na "thanks for coming to my baby shower" Ay binigyan pala ako ng aunt ko ng baby shower noong buntis ako kay Roan, hehehe, 7 years ago pa kasi nakalimutan ko na tuloy. Gift certs ang binigay sa akin ng mga relatives ko.. Let me know if you need some ideas about the baby shower, I might share some ideas na alam ko at ginagawa dito sa US.

August 29, 2009 at 3:58 amI agree w/ Bambie Mare.Ang alam ko rin kasi your friends or relatives will organize the party.Wala kang ibang gagawin stay put ka lang hehe.Ako rin kasi yung mga talent namin did the shower party for my youngest & t'was a surprised party.From foods to the gifts sila lahat ang nagprepare & you shouldn't have to do the list kung ano ang gusto mo ,your friends & realatives will do that for the baby, & they will bring what they wanted to bring for your baby girl.Sayang kung nandyan lang kami ni Gene, kami ang gagawa ng shower party para sa yo.Good luck sa shower party Mare & enjoy the day!Kailan ba ang shower party mo Mare?

March 18, 2010 at 4:01 pmkahit di tayo mayaman we could host a baby shower, dapat ang friend mag-initiate nyan not the preggy herself
Genejosh says
March 18, 2010 at 4:02 pmwe really enjoyed the games like the bottle feeding and guessing the waistline of the preggy
Genejosh says
