The Baby Shower Book: Etiquette, Decorations, Games, Food

Rating:
Summary: Thin on nice ideas, silly games.
Review: I was anticipating this being a very good book based on some reviews, but was very disappointed and outdated. It does have silly games - something I wanted no part of at the shower I threw. I was looking for someone to take me through the shower step by step, but this bood did not do so. I would not recommend this book, especially if you are starting from ground zero.

Rating:
Summary: Overall a limited book.
Review: I was looking for something with an overall sense of throwing a shower. This book did not have everything I needed, lacking in food, budget, etc. If you are looking for something to give you ideas for every aspect of a shower, this is not the book for you.

Summary: Best for a beginner
Review: The ideas in here on food and games helped me the most. I could not believe how many compleiments I received during and after the shower. The decoration ideas were not helpful, but the games section truly made up for this!! I will continue to use this book!

Review: The majority of the book and the best content was related to games. It did not go into too much detail of decorating or favors, which is where the seasoned shower planner needs some new ideas. It had a brief description on themes, but should have had recipes related to those themes. I was disappointed in the food section, not much content. I have never heard that a mother-to-be should arrive at the shower before her guests? Good for games, that's about it.
