My daughter just turned two and we celebrated with a farm-themed birthday party. We picked a farm theme because she loves playing with her animal figurines every day (see “Gifts” section below). Plus, a farm theme is easy and perfect for young children!
If you are contemplating throwing a party with a farm theme take a look at all my ideas and suggestions below.
Never Have I Ever: Pregnancy Edition is an easy baby shower game that can be played at a party or during a virtual baby shower. I’m sure you’ve played this game before in your younger years (while consuming multiple alcoholic beverages) but this edition is appropriate for all ages. Learn more about the mama-to-be and her pregnancy as the questions are asked. It is a great baby shower game to play at the start of a party. Minimal prep needed!
Many people might tell you not to register for clothing. For one, people are going to give you baby clothing as gifts regardless of what you register for because it is fun to buy cute baby clothes.
Another reason is that you don’t know how big your baby will be when he/she is born. Maybe your kid won’t ever even be in newborn clothes. Also, you don’t know how fast your baby will grow. If you buy too many clothes in advance the seasons might end up being all wrong.
I’m finding that more and more couples are recently electing to not find out the gender of their baby. There are multiple reasons for this. One reason is that it is really nice to have gender-neutral baby gifts and items that can be used with future children. If you announce the gender beforehand you undoubtedly will end up with a ton of pink or blue stuff.
I am loving the popular “four gift rule” for Christmas. Every child receives one item in each of the following categories; something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read. If you know me, then you know that my favorite category is “something to read”. Thankfully, my girls (ages 1 and 2.5) love to read too. Here are my recommendations for excellent books to give toddlers as gifts.
