Anticipating the arrival of a new family member is such an exciting time. A shower of love and good wishes from family and friends is the culmination of the long wait (at least until the baby arrives!) Celebrate these happy times with some whimsical baking and a delicious grown-up buffet.

• Ask the guests to bring a donation of baby formula for the local food shelf and a favorite children's board book for the guest of honor.
  
  
• Buy a beautifully bound journal. Ask everyone to jot down favorite childhood memory or wish for the new baby.
  
  
• Have a little sing-a-long - take requests for favorite lullabies or camp songs to prime the parents-to-be!
