BABIES!!!! I love that I'm at that age when friends of mine are getting married and having kids. You know what that means? Showers! I know some people aren't really into the silly games, and the usual fuss that goes into showers, but I love it. If someone wants to plan some fun for me, I'm more than happy to participate. I know some folks think that it gets in the way of conversing with the other guests, but I don't know about that. Yes, it distracts from conversation for the purpose of playing a game, but it also helps break the ice and bring everyone together and breaks up the cliques that might occur otherwise. But then again - this is coming from a girl who loves to play any game!
My friend Joyce who was married Easter weekend of 2010 is now about to burst with her new baby, and I couldn't wait to attend her shower. I rarely get to see her, so to have the chance to spend time with her and meet some more of her good friends was one I was not going to turn down. Especially since she lives only a few blocks away from me. I've met a lot of Joyce's friends before - but she has LOTS of friends, so this time around there were a lot more to meet. And considering I arrived to the party late, I think I did a decent job. I met some great girls, had some delicious food, and played some fun and silly games which bonded all of us as a group. All in all - the ideal baby shower!
I know everyone has their idea of what a bridal or baby shower should look like, but as far as I'm concerned there is no wrong way to do it. So long as there are good friends to celebrate a major life change, it should be an awesome time! Congratulations Joyce and Matt on your soon to be new family! I can't wait to meet the little one.
