A – I like cool and different themes, but I am always afraid people will diss the break from the norm and want more traditional ideas. Of course, having interesting ideas would always be good to have, too!
I get frustrated with all of the above. Finding cool themes, and planning a party at a price i can afford. these need to be affordable and chic
I love French Bull! I’d say the hardest thing is coming up with cool, affordable favors.
G… And dealing with friends who think I go overboard on the details, but its fun!

I’m going with D and F!
A and F–something unique and unordinary.
What a beautiful set!
I’m going with F and G. I’ve wasted so much time looking for baby shower games on-line with very little reward.
I recently went to a baby shower where we played a fun game – “Name that Tune” and all the songs had the word baby in the title. The music varied from “Baby Baby” by Amy Grant to “Baby Got Back” from Sir Mix Alot. It was really fun. And as a shower favor, we each got a copy of the CD. I thought it was a cute idea.
F and G.
g, then e.
A. Definately A. It seems like every bridal shower or baby shower I have been to lately, it is the same themes over and over again. However, at the same time, I can understand why people choose those themes — it is usually easiest to find plates, napkins, etc. that go along with “pastel baby rattles” or the silver wedding bells!
A little bit of all of the above. Adding one more thing, space planning! I live is a super small apartment. It’s very difficult to plan a party that would accomadate all of my guests comfortably along with all of the food, booze, and partyware.
Oh no! I’m 20 minutes too late for the contest (I was super excited thinking I was on time since it is not yet midnight in my time zone), but I will answer anyway.
My biggest frustration has been F. Some of my friends are not interested in doing the typical party/shower games so we’ve either had to work our way around having no games or keep the games simple.
E. i always spend too much time planning for parties. i have to always worry about whos droppping the keg whos getting tap etc.
E. i spent all this time planning my daughters first birthday and gave everyone a 2 week notice and no one showed up
Coolest teacups I’ve ever seen! Good luck everyone, bu I got I get them! HA :)
