I co-hosted a baby shower this weekend and it was so much fun! But the MOST fun part was the idea of my co-hostess, Val. Instead of doing the standard baby shower games - we decorated onesies of various sizes for the baby to wear when she arrives! We had on-hand lots of cute onesies in different colors, puffy paint, iron-ons, and patches (if I had thought of it, I would've broken out my Bedazzler - but didn't think of it until right now!). We had an ironing board and iron ready in the corner of the room and had space to put them to dry.
We did this EARLY in the shower, so the ones that got painted would have time to dry before being transported home. We had a blast, everyone created adorable custom works of art for the baby, and we all enjoyed chatting! We did cake and gifts afterwards, so there was plenty of time for everything to dry.
Here's the finished products:

As the mom-to-be I can attest that these are AWESOME! It was a lot of fun making them, and they all came out so cute! So much better than your standard, boring, everyone-has-them onesies. Plus, everytime my baby wears one I will think of the friend who made it and remember the fun we had at the baby shower. :)
