Sara Geaslin wrote me about a really terrific idea for a favor she made that is used in a game. It kills two birds with one stone and is such a cute idea. Here’s what she said.
“I am currently planning a baby shower for my best friend’s first baby. I have been to a couple of showers and the “don’t say baby/bride, groom” game is always a success. I have seen it played with decorated wooden clothespins. The shower guests usually love the clothespins and want to keep them as a momento of the shower; but what do you do with them when you get home? I decorated the clothespins for my friend’s shower and they turned out really cute. I painted them in the shower’s theme colors and painted the baby’s name on it, then attached a pink ribbon rose to the top. I didn’t want all my hard work to be wasted and thrown away after the shower; so I attached a magnet to the back of the clothespin. The guests can put the magnet on the fridge after the shower and use it to clip a photo of the baby to the fridge. I thought this was a great idea and needed to be shared with fellow shower planners.”
